Hello blog world. I am a foodie who believes in a plant based diet for optimal health. Sometimes I still eat dairy, but it's fairly rare. I strive as often as possible to eat food that can be described as "vegan", though I do not label myself this way as a person. I am a vegetarian, though; I live in the first world, and I have the luxury of having the option not to eat something that has thoughts and feelings. So I don't! I don't think people who do are bad people, especially globally, where it may be necessary. I'm just happy that I don't have to do so, and hope we can someday make a world where no human must rely on the flesh of another creature for sustenance.
However, I noticed there is a bit of a derth in the vegan food world, of recipes that are simple and accessible to a normal palette, without being dull. 90% of the time, any other recipes fall into pretentious territory. I am trying to keep a log of foods that I make myself, that aren't like some overly complicated Creamy Macadamia Raw Kale Zoodles with Whole Wheat Specialty Gnocchi, Enoki Mushrooms, and Freely Given Unicorn Droppings.
My goal here is not only to log foods I enjoy for my own benefit, but to add to the body of recipes that are something that vegetarians, vegans, and people on plant based diets can make easily. I know I'm not the only one who wants to see more recipes with well balanced and somewhat familiar flavor profiles, which aren't done to death, or full of exotic ingredients. I will strive for no more than two exotic ingredients per recipe at most, and will lean heavily toward ingredients that most people on these diets have in the pantry, such as nutritional yeast or a specific variety of plant-based milk.
So yes. Unpretentious Vegetables. That's what you'll find here.
