The Minimalist Yogi

        Hi everyone, hope everybody is having a great start to the week. Lets talk about food, so a lot of people or some  enjoy the idea of "take out," which I enjoy as well every one and then, specially on those days when you don't feel like cooking or doing anything. But take out like eating out cost a lot of money. So to enjoy the pleasure of having a take out, I decided to buy the container that's generally given in restaurants for take out and made my own home take out. As you read the list of the ingredients you'll notice that I've used the same ingredients as the ones for the "caribbean explosion" the reason being because I do "mass cooking" meaning I cook two or three things at the same time, which saves me time and money. Ingredients -2-3 cups of pasta -2 carrot (chopped and diced) -Red, yellow and green bell pepper -Half sween corn -Half tomato -1 Leek (chopped and diced) -1 of each of   cayenne, jalapeño ...

Hi everyone, hope everyone is having an amazing week. I am going to start by apologizing for not blogging for while, I've been really busy with work and more work. Regardless, I am back and have something great things to share with you guys. Yesterday I had the great pleasure of trying a new recipe which one of my co-worker called Caribbean Explosion because of the colours and the hot spices. This recipe is really simple, and takes less than hour to do.  This recipe is simple yet amazing, the taste is all in the spices. I think this recipe depicts how easy it is to take something as simple and plain as rice and vegetables and turn into something  great.  P.S. Sorry about the pictures, I took the picture with my Ipod so I doesn't have the best quality.  Ingredients: -1 sweet corn -Yellow, Green, and Red bell pepper  (diced) -2 cups of wild rice and white rice -1 Tomato (Diced) -Carrot -Pepper (cayenne, jalapeño and chili pepper) Diced -3 Green onio...

               So three days ago I finally got pinterest, and while pinning my board I came across beautiful pictures of pizzas which I talked about on my second last blog. I was so inspired by those photos so I decided to make my first home made pizza. I must say the pizza was REALLY GOOD!!!!.  Ingredients   3 cups flour  1 tbs fast rising yeast  1 tbsp salt  1 cup water, warm  1 tbsp sesame oil Topping Ingredients  1 red bell pepper (chopped or sliced)  1 flat mushroom (sliced or sliced)  1 green onion (chopped)  Firm tofu (chopped)  1 tomato (chopped)  1 (10.5 ounce)Packaged vegan mozzarella style shred, and pepperjack style shreds. (Diaya) 1 jalapeño pepper (diced) 3 red Cayenne pepper 1 tbsp ground black pepper  3 tbsp curry powder  Steps   1. Preheat oven to 365  2. In a large bowl, combine flour, yeast, and salt. Add w...

                    So this month my co-workers and I decided to go vegetariam or vegan, since I am a vegetarian my only choose was going vegan. So far I really like it because nothing has really changed about my diet because I don't eat eggs, last time I had eggs was 3-4 years ago, and I tend to drink  soy milk with my coffee, and don't eat a lot of sweet things. So, today I was having my nigh snacks, soy yogurt and green macaron tea. Since I was in the mood for something sweet  I put a little spoon of honey in my yogurt and tea. While enjoying my tea i decided o google whether honey was vegan, and found out that IT IS NOT VEGAN. After reading view articles the underlining issue seems to be the cruelty and  abuse, here's a little sample of the article,  recipes.howstuffworks.com  

                               I must say among all the things out there to eat, pizza will forever and always top my list. Making pizza is extremely simple, and the awesome part of it, is the topping, you can top pizza with just about anything and it will taste amazing! However,  you can top it with anything, but there's nothing like a classic cheese, pepperoni or vegetarian pizza. So I recently got Pinterest, and while filling my pin board I've notice all the beautiful images of pizzas and was just blown away and little jealous because I wanted to eat all it and wished I was the one who cooked them. Regardless, I enjoyed looking at them and got little inspired to make my own home made vegan pizza, which I will conquer in the coming days.
