8 Awesome Vegan Pasta Dishes!
8 Awesome Vegan Pasta Dishes! The title says it all. 😉 I’ve collected my top 8 pasta recipes and compiled them all into one post for your ease and delight. They’re packed with flavor and loaded with crazy healthy ingredients. Think like a fatty, but eat like a fit f***. Side note: I feel like that should be a quote on a tee-shirt. Onwards… What’s better than that?! Short answer? Nothing. Food is life! Hence this crazy blog. Food shouldn’t taste like shit to be healthy as shit. Food should taste like delectable dopeness and be healthy as shit! I’ll stop now so as not to subject you to a ‘Heather’ diatribe. You’re welcome. 😉
Ooohhh pasta. Yesterday was National Pasta Day, which inspired today’s post. I f’in’ love pasta more than Bradley Cooper AND Brad Pitt combined. Say wha?! Yeah, I said it. And I meant it. The most challenging thing in the world for me is cutting back on carbs. However, I just have to do it when I’m not working out very much. It’s a fact. A shitty fact, but fuck, my thighs don’t lie. I literally find it more difficult to quit my carboholic ways than I did to quit my pack-a-day smoking habit. 🙁 #addictionisreal LOL. Now, with all of that being said, these 8 Awesome Vegan Pasta Dishes! are a much better alternative to their dairy partners. And remember, there are always zoodles to substitute for the grains! I’m a big fan of my spiralizer for that very reason. And of course, my thighs are its biggest fan. 😉 On that note, mangia! -FGG
PS- Feeling guilty about wanting carbs? Take a note from our musical selection below. Call up your pusherman, have a toke, and I promise, you’ll be chowing down on carbs guilt free. 😉 Similarly, I used to be super poor, go to the mall, swig down 2 well-mannered martinis from the Cheesecake Factory, as I knew this would easily open my wallet up for business, and then shop for clothes – guilt free. Until I came home, and hid them in the trunk of my car so my all-to-astute boyfriend wouldn’t notice that I had new clothes but somehow, couldn’t pay the rent. Oh man… from days of old!

Hello food lovers, bloggers, and fellow veg-heads!
I am a vegetarian food blogger who is just skimming the surface of how this blog stuff functions and am learning the ins and outs of food photography. I am an elementary music teacher at an international school, a new mom, a wife, and an expat. I live in Beijing, China and have been living the craziest and wildest adventures for over four years now. This is my fifth and final year here and then off to Oregon (though I’m a native New Yorker). I’ve decided that during my last year in Asia I want to finally get this blog going, chronicle my last year of travels, and become an amateur food photographer. Though I have no formal training as a cook or a chef, it is a hobby that I have had for about 15 years now. It really blossomed when I lived in OR and spent many a day cooking with my fabulous vegan friend, April. We’d drink wine, listen to loads of music (back then we were really into Feist & Rodrigo y Gabriela), create food and cocktails, and cook for all of our friends. More about that in future posts on the fantastic reflections and recollections of my life (there are many). My BS is in Classical Piano Performance and my Med is in Music Education. Thus far, creating this blog with the very little experience and understanding of the deep and inner workings of this blog-o-sphere world has been my most challenging education yet! I rarely use recipes when I cook and my philosophy is to never waste food, therefore I am often concocting dishes from what is left in my fridge. I wanted to finally write down my creations and actually be able to give people a solid recipe when they’d ask me for one of my dishes that didn’t sound like “oh you know, a little of this, a pinch of that” etc. So, I shall leave you with this… Expect some awesomely weird, fun, and ridiculous posts. I hope you both enjoy and join me on this blogging adventure!
Mangia!
Heather
