Vegan Comfort Food
It has been a while since a post. I am going to be updating a lot more. I have been living elsewhere for quite some time and also traveling so I haven't been on here much lately but I will be posting some delicious food soon.
Even when it is Spring/Summer months I love vegan comfort food. In SF and Oregon they have some amazing places with delicious vegan comfort food so that inspired this post. I love teavana because I always love warm tea in the summer months. Usually I make fresh cut ginger lemon and put a bit of whole, organic sugar in or some agave but in the Spring when it starts to get a bit warm I switch to iced teas in the day. Teavana is a bit pricey but to me it is quite a treat and worth it. I love all the delicious smelling loose leaf teas and if their bar is open they will make you something!
Another food that I crave constantly that brings me comfort is vegan grilled cheese. Daiya cheese slices make the best grilled cheese ever! So creamy and delicious and the slices melt really well. I put some on whole grain and try not to over cook. The other item that brings me comfort is vegan nachos and a good salsa. During the summer I make salsa not too spicy and add fresh cucumber to make it taste a bit "cooler" and more refreshing. My favorite thing to dip is no salt chips or blue corn chips. I ate an entire bag of organic blue corn chips the other day. It was pretty awesome.

My vegan salsa recipe:
* 2 Persian cucumbers chopped small
*Half sweet onion
*Hot pepper (only use part if you want it less spicy)
*vine tomatoes (they are super sweet but you can also use roma)
* can of black beans (for extra protein/optional)
*1 lime
*cilantro (handful) minced
*Blue corn chips to dip
