Veg Living by Brian: On life for the healthy, environmentally-conscious vegetarian

Photoblog 2: Delightful Dishes

leave a comment »

Just recently VegLiving had its first (what I like to call) photoblog, with a collection of pictures of some scrumptious dishes I’d made that month, located here. I liked the way that it turned out and I really hope it inspired others to be creative in their cooking and maybe document and blog their culinary masterpieces, too.

So, I’ve made a new little category of posts here at VegLiving for these photoblogs. This post is the second one which includes some dishes I’ve been documenting over the past couple weeks. Enjoy, and let me know if you’d like any recipes, information or have any comments.

As always, all photos are © Brian Greco 2009 using a lovely Samsung SL820 12.1 MP Camera. Do not copy or re-upload without credit. I will hunt you down :P .

A tasty little vegetarian afterschool snack with a salad, some edamame and a Trader Joes Veggie Hummus Wrap.

Simple perfection. What more could want for a snack? Whole sprouted wheat bread with extra virgin olive oil

Now this ones interesting. I was looking up raw food desserts (inspired by Ani Phyo) and I concocted these somehow. A mixture of many many many ingredients, including a lot of butters, nuts, dried fruit and cocoa. Very tasty, actually.

Some Indian food tofu mix leftover thingy I made (lucky I take these photos, Id forget), with a simple salad and bread. yummy.

One of my favorites. This scrumptious salad features the usuals with fresh vegetables. A nice couscous mixture bean corn thing I made out of nowhere to accompany. See, I dont really use recipes... made this one up on the spot.

How’s my food photography skills? 😉

Made this before swim practice for some energy. Can never go wrong with some fresh bread, olive oil and grapes. Very Roman-inspired.

This one looks weird, but tasted pretty good. Was bored and wanted something quick, so I tried polenta (the non-refrigerated kind) with some beans and things. Polenta is an Italian corn paste-like substance that is very versatile in cooking. Tasty.

This one is one of my favorites Ive done. Ah, simple perfection! I love salads, if you havent noticed. Eat one every day. Salad post coming soon... but anyway, made this this afternoon and it is truly the perfect, healthy, vegetarian snack. Mmm.

So, that’s that. Yummy, I hope. As you can see I really like salads.

Anyway, sorry that I can’t link within the captions — it kinda bothers me. But I will be updating these soon with links to other posts about some of the foods and recipe inspirations mentioned in this photoblog.

I truly hope everyone is enjoying the blog and if you haven’t already, subscribe for email updates (with new content delivered to you) and spread the word!

Be well,

Brian
