It’s the last call for the Heart Healthy Pizza cookbook giveaway. I hope you enter for your chance to win a signed copy! I am glad that you are intrigued by the Curry Cashew Butter recipe I posted yesterday; I enjoyed the conversation and a general agreement that vegans do not have to be no- or low-fat.
Today I wanted to share a few items that came my way this week.
- Compassion Couture is having a summer sale.
- The FIRST EVER Twin Cities Veg Fest, Saturday, July 14, looks fantastic! The event will be held 10am to 5pm on the Minneapolis campus of the University of Minnesota. Other summer events include:
- July 19 – 23: National Health Association: Healthy Living Conference, Hallandale Beach, FL
- August 2 – 5: Animal Rights 2012 National Conference, Washington, DC
- August 2 – 4: BlogHer ’12, New York, NY
- If you would like to attend a vegan event in the comfort of your own home, check out Veganpalooza, a free tele-summit which launched Wednesday and is running through Sunday.
- While you’re at home enjoying the tele-summit, Beat the Heat by Using Your Pressure Cooker says my friend Jill Nussinow, The Veggie Queen.
Finally, I thought I should report back on my JL-EGG experiments. Once upon a time I made an omelet with The Vegg. 
It was awesome. Then I made a tofu scramble with my homemade JL-EGG. 
Also awesome. So I decided it was time to try out the JL-EGG as an omelet.
Looks like it’s going to work, doesn’t it? Well, it didn’t. It didn’t firm up. I couldn’t flip it. But it tasted divine! I used black salt this time – hello “egg”-ier tasting vegan egg! I scooped the scramble into a tortilla with guacamole – lemonade out of lemons, people – and enjoyed a fabulous breakfast wrap.
I’m heading into a busy weekend, including a food writing class with the fabulous Urban Vegan at the Natural Gourmet Institute! I hope you have a fun weekend planned, too!

I sort of looks like a fritatta… do you think it would have held together if you put it in the oven for a bit? Either way, I bet it was tasty! 🙂
Yeah, I was actually thinking that it would have done well in a quiche pan in the oven. Or perhaps adding more extra firm tofu to the mix. Delicious experiments ahead! 😉
Looks great! Glad you liked the black salt!
GREAT stuff!
Thanks for the shout out for the TC Veg Fest this weekend, JL! Hoping it’s going to be a success so we can do it again next year!
I hope it was fantastic!
I LOVE black salt for getting a good “eggy” flavor. Finding out about that was like an epiphany.
I can’t believe the flavor!
Yum. Looks fantastic!
I hope you try it!
