Entrepreneur, Celebrity and Spokesman Ronald McDonald, aka Ronald McCruelty, Hospitalized After Nearly Being Hit in Crosswalk

Ronald and his lawyers

Hospital Officials say that R. McDonald’s near death experience occurred just after 3 PM in a crosswalk just outside the famed burger joint. He was in shock but hospitalized from high blood pressure, high cholesterol, high blood sugar and fallen arches. R. McDonald’s release is slated for next week some time. Since McDonald was not hit straight on, police are no longer looking for the vehicle which swerved out of his way but ran over Mickey Dee’s happy meal. McDonald’s lawyers are not happy about this.

A Happier Burger with 1000 Island with a Punch
6 Portabellos with caps twisted off and cleaned with a damp towel (never run mushrooms under water) Marinate the twisted off caps too.
1/2 C olive oil
1/4 C  balsamic vinegar

1 tsp sea salt
Kaiser rolls
Fave vegan slaw or lettuce and tomatoes
Preheat oven at 450 degrees. Whisk together olive oil, balsamic and sea salt. Marinate portabellos for about 1/2 hour, unless you are in a super hurry.

Bake 20 min one side; 15 min the other.


1000 Island with a Punch
1/2 Vegenaise
1/4 C your favorite vegan BBQ sauce
1 pickle (my favorite are Bubbies) chopped
shot of Tabasco

Mix ingredients together, slather on kaiser roll, add portabellos and your favorite toppings. I'm partial to slaw. What toppings would make you happy?

Now that's a Happy Meal :)

Day 6 No Sugar and a Nifty New Dressing

Today I will be using some abbreviations. I'm gonna be just like those youngins when they text or txt. Nobody really spells things out anymore. U no wut I mean. Thos days r ova. Yep no more alphabet, no more alphabet soup even, now it's text/txt soup. So guess what? I just had to go back to using full sentences because I've been doing them for a while. It's just too hard to text a blog. Anyway.
Watch out for the abbrevs though. Today's Day 6 of E2. If you read my previous post like a good little vegan blog reader you would know that E2 is shorthand Luke for Engine 2 Diet/Plan. Out with diet, in with plan. So from now on..."we kul peeps?" It's the E2 Plan, NOT Diet.
The plan is all vegan of course, no sugar (not even organic), no white stuff and no saturated oils.

So guess what else? No not that.
MOFO is coming MOFO is coming. If you are a text geek this acronym would most likely stand for something else. At least my sources tell me that it would. But in the vegan world MOFO is Vegan Month of Food. Bloggers from all over the world write a blog a day, (or as many as they want for the month), about vegan food. I had such a blast participating last year. I went to sign up for MOFO today, but I couldn't figure out ( please read the following as an expletive!) what my  MOFO RSS Feed is. I must figure this out, because I already know one of the dishes I'm going to make for (not the expletive)MOFO. I'll tell you after I give you this E2 salad dressing.
The dressing is a variation of Rip Esselstyn's, (he's the fireman who wrote the E2 book), dressing. We were surprised how good this is since we both are olive oil lovers.

2 T nooch
1 T low sodium soy
1 T 364  Dijon mustard (no alcohol in it)
1.5 T orange juice
1 T agave
2 T balsamic vinegar
about 1/4 C water or more or less to make as thick or thin as you desire

Whisk all ingredients together. Add water and whisk again. Enjoy the dressing on salad, or as a dip with raw veggies or even drizzle on a taco.The salad below is a simple, delicious and nothing fancy combo of rinsed black beans, chopped carrots, and salsa on Romaine lettuce served with a warmed corn tortilla.

I'm going to make Abbreviation Soup for MOFO. C U soon. xo
P.S. My spell check just went crazy with the above post and was so angry it decided to highlight the word "just".
