I was checking my regular blogs yesterday and it turns out that vegan lunchbox lady (Jennifer)'s cookbook is done! I ordered a copy (of course) and now I'm super excited. Books ship on november 15th. Check it out!

I've also received an excellent offer from one of Norways largest engineering companies to work for them this summer and possibly write my masters thesis for them. I'm so excited (a lot of excitement lately, lol). It's such a wonderful opportunity and if they like me it may very well lead to a full time job when I'm done with univeristy.

I am making food, just bad with taking pics. I'm loving nori lately. There is something about it that just satisfies me... Yummy. Will post foodpics soon. I promise.

Is there anything better than a healthy desert? A healthy desert that tastes awesome. I have been adding more raw foods to my diet for a while now, and today I finally made a desert that people at my raw forum have been raving about. It's from Alissa Cohen's book: Living on Live Foods and it is amazing.

You take one peeled lemon, half an avocado and half a cup of soaked dates. Blend it till smooth and eat. Wow! It takes all of five minutes to make and I love it. It's healthy, raw and so good. Here's a pic.
It doesn't look very yellow, or very yummy, so you are just going to have to trust me. I was very skeptical for a while but now that I've finally tried it I can't believe ow good it is.

I also bought some phyllo dough and made apple streusel and spanacopita from Dreena's cookbooks. Sorry, I can't remember which one but the food was great. I have pics of the streussel, but not the spanacopita.

There is something about apples and spices that is so wonderful to me, especially in the fall.











My youngest brother was visiting about a week ago, and I made him the french toast from Vive. He is 13 and he loved it. On his way to the shower he saw me putting tofu in it and he wrinkled his noes, but after he tried it he told me it tasted just like regular french toast. You can't get a better compliment then that. Try it guys!

I got tagged by Melissa so this is a lits of the five things I think everyone should try before they die:

1. Artichokes.
And I don't mean the canned ones or the ones you get out of a jar. I mean fresh artichokes. I love them boiled till tender, then I eat them with garlic butter or olive oil. There are of course lots of other wonderful things to do with them, but I think they are perfect on their own.

2. Asparagus.
Few things represent summer to me as strongly as asparagus. I used to eat them with holandais, but now I love putting them in just about everything. Such a wonderful, crunchy veggie.

3. Spinach.
If I had to choose one veggie I can't live without I think I have to choose spinach. I've loved it for as long as I can remember.

4. Avocado.
This fruit (yes, it is a fruit) can be used for just about everything. It is a great source of fatty acids and vitamin e.

5. Seaweed.
It weirded me out at first, but I truly love the flavor of seaweed. It is also a great source of minerals.

Ok, so a very short post, but it's been a long day. I really did want to post this list though. I love food, and I'm sure there are many other things I could have added, but I think these are probably my top 5.
