Happy Vida Vegan Con!
The first vegan bloggers' convention is coming up in Portland this summer. There are loads of exciting speakers lined up and tempting treats abound in Portland, where it's happening. There's just one catch - it's sold out. The last remaining ticket is available by way of a song contest, and this is my entry. I channeled the song stylings of non-vegan Adam Sandler and his Happy Hanukkah Song. I hope you enjoy it![...less]

Raw Kale Salad in a Creamy Garlic Dressing
This hearty kale salad packs well for lunch and is delicious for dinner. The cashew-based dressing is a garlic lover's dream. Add your favorite vegetables for a nutrient-dense meal.
Raw Kale Salad in Creamy Garlic Dressing
Serves 2-4
1/3 cup raw cashews
¼ cup water (plus additional water for soaking cashews)
1 Tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 Tbsp low-sodium tamari
1 heaping Tbsp fresh cilantro
2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
1 bunch curly kale
Any favorite raw vegetables, chopped (for the kale salad)
Cover raw cashews in water and let them soak while you chop the kale and salad ingredients. Pull the kale leaves from the center rib, and roughly chop the leaves. Move the chopped leaves to a bowl and massage them for a couple of minutes until the kale takes on the appearance of steamed kale.
To make the dressing: blend cashews, ¼ cup water, lemon juice, tamari, cilantro, and garlic in blender until creamy. (If you're making the dressing ahead of time, store in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to five days. The dressing will thicken over time.) Toss the kale with dressing until the leaves are evenly coated and then add whatever fruits and vegetables you like.

Chocolate Covered Orange Slices
These sweet treats can be made in just minutes. The measly two ingredients are items most of us have on hand. They're a great go-to dessert when you're making a laborious main-course and you want to include something easy to finish up the meal. Or think of these when surprise guests pop over during the holidays. But please... don't fight over who gets to lick the bowl clean. 'Tis the season. Can't we all just get along?
Chocolate Covered Orange Slices
Serves 2 -4, depending upon your self-restraint
2 oranges, peeled into slices
1/2 cup vegan semi-sweet chocolate chips
Melt semi-sweet chocolate chips in the microwave for 50 seconds, stopping once to stir. Dip orange slices into the melted chocolate and lay them on a parchment sheet-covered plate. Refrigerate the chocolate-covered orange slices for fifteen minutes until the chocolate sets and serve.
Other possibilities for chocolate-dipping possibilities include strawberries, raspberries, pineapple or banana chunks, or vegan marshmallows.[...less]

Split Pea Soup
This delicious and hearty soup is a filling and inexpensive lunch or dinner. Utilize the bulk bins of your natural grocery store for a satisfying meal.
Serves 4-6
Ingredients:
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil (or 1 Tbsp water)
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 carrots, chopped
2 celery stalks, chopped
1 small onion, chopped
1 ½ cups split peas, green or yellow
¼ cup pearl barley (Brown rice also works, but the soup will be a bit more watery since it doesn't absorb as much water.)
4 ½ cups water
1 vegan vegetable bouillon cube
½ tsp coriander
½ tsp dried basil
½ tsp dried thyme
¼ tsp smoked salt or liquid smoke (optional)
Salt and pepper, to taste
Directions: Rinse and sort split peas and barley, removing any debris or stones. In a soup pot, sauté garlic, carrots, celery, and onion in oil. Once the onion is translucent, add split peas, barley, a bouillon cube, coriander, basil, thyme, and water. Bring the mixture to a boil and then reduce the heat to low and cover. Let the soup cook for 90 minutes. Add the smoked salt, pepper, salt to taste, and serve.[...less]
