I followed her veggie burger recipe but used lentils instead of beans and added curry powder, cumin and tumeric. They would NOT stick together. I am very inexperienced in the world of homemade vegan burgers but I thought they would make a mean chili... so I went for it. Here is my recipe along with some photos. It looks like a lot of ingredients but they are very simple. Enjoy!<br />
<br />
<b>Accidental Indi-Mex Chili</b><br />
Ingredients:<br />
3 Cups cooked Lentils<br />
2 cups old fashioned oats<br />
1 envelope onion soup mix (make sure you have a vegan one!)<br />
curry powder (1/2 to 1 full tablespoon)<br />
tumeric (about a teaspoon)<br />
cumin (about a teaspoon)<br />
1 can hearty tomato soup<br />
1 can crushed tomatoes<br />
1 can diced tomatoes (with or without green chilis)<br />
1 can tomato sauce<br />
1 can black beans<br />
1 can chickpeas<br />
Additional spices, hot sauce etc to garnish (optional)<br />
<br />
Throw all in a HUGE pot and cook over medium to high heat until cooked through. Add additional spices based on personal taste. I hope you like it. :) It is a very quick meal if you have cooked lentils on hand already! <br />

I miss blogging for all of you. Here is a vegan food post for what I made for a late lunch after a bit of thrift shopping. <br />
<br />
Latest creation: Thai Tomato Mushroom and Lettuce. <br />
Step 1: Cook chopped fresh tomatoes and mushrooms in a pan with olive oil and thai chili sauce. <br />
Step 2: Toast bread (I used whole grain)<br />
Step 3: Spread toasted bread with Garden Tomato Pesto. (Gracious Gourmet or make your own)<br />
Step 4: Put lettuce or salad mix on bread. <br />
Step 5: Top with mushroom mixture. <br />
Step 6: Place other slice on top and enjoy!<br />
<br />
Sadly I did not get a photo because I was hungry and too excited and I ate both sandwiches! I will probably do a sandwich post at a later date. Would any of you be interested in that? I am going to make a couple of videos for YouTube soon. I got invited to earn revenue from my videos and I am happy and excited! I haven't figured out how to get it set up to work yet though. If anyone knows please let me know! I look forward to blogging and vlogging a lot more! awesomeveganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05565612248513965726noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8998437949489704069.post-5831375177472425922010-11-18T15:56:00.001-05:002010-11-18T15:56:25.910-05:00ITS LAURENNVLOGS :D<p class="formspringmeAnswer">Oh thanks. :) Did you sub to VegCouple?

<br />
Wanna guess what it was?<br />
<br />
It was my Vegan Palette from Urban Decay and Tuscan Blood Orange perfume from Pacifica. All packed up in a pretty brown Sephora box. :) It also came with 3 perfume samples... I think 2 of them may be vegan. I am trying to research them. I will get back to you when I know more. I am afraid that I am going to become obsessed with vegan perfumes. I have some solid ones from etsy... and a couple of roll on ones from etsy as well but not many spray perfumes. I would like to start collecting some, especially from Pacifica since the scents are so lovely and available at Sephora and I have a Sephora near me. The boxes and bottles are also lovely so they will look pretty if I ever get a vanity table set up nice in my room. <br />
<br />
I plan to play with my palette and post combo ideas and maybe even a tutorial for those interested. I haven't used the palette yet but I may try it out tomorrow. <br />
<br />
I was browsing the net looking for other vegan perfumes and makeup and such and wanted to share some sites and blogs related to the topic so check them out below: <br />
<br />
<a href="http://kindlyindulgeme.wordpress.com/">Kindly Indulge Me</a> blog about vegan indulgences including makeup, perfumes, food and more relating to a vegan lifestyle<br />

<br />

I am sure all you ladies, vegan or not will enjoy these links and there are even some posts and products that may help the men in your lives.

(just about LOL) but I was thinking about some topics I tend to like blogging about: makeup, fashion etc. So I figured I would write a blog entry for all my loyal blog followers who are still with me after all this time. Also hello to the new followers!<br />
<br />
So what have I been up to? Well yesterday I went to the big city of NYC with my boyfriend, Brandon and my bff, Quincy. :) I will post some pictures soon but I am still waiting on all pics to be uploaded. There is also some video clips that need uploading and editing so I will do a seperate post about that. :) <br />
<br />
In the world of fashion, I have been thrifting now and then lately and have been becoming a bit obsessed with fall fashion, ugly sweaters (which really aren't that ugly in my opinion) and chictopia. Please fan and friend me if you have an account there. <br />
<br />
I have been quite lazy with my makeup lately and haven't Konaded in so long. I have misplaced my stampers yet again! I was thinking about posting outfit photos and haul photos and "things I am loving" pics to my blog. So what do you think? What would you like to see?<br />
<br />
<b>Some fashion and makeup type items I am lemming right now:</b><br />
<br />
Susan Nichole handbags, particularly Stella and Savannah<br />
Pacifica fragrances, especially the fruity scents such as Tuscan Blood Orange and Brazilian Mango Grapefruit.<br />
The Urban Decay Vegan Palette: beautiful packaging, good reviews and would be my first UD palette and the only thing I own from them beside a blue eyeliner pencil (Deviant I think...)<br />
Nubar nail polishes, most wanted are Peacock Feathers, 2010 and Purple Beach.awesomeveganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05565612248513965726noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8998437949489704069.post-1847598515910717782010-08-11T14:03:00.000-04:002010-08-11T14:03:47.034-04:00Eat, Pray, Love<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/19501.Eat_Pray_Love" style="float: left; padding-right: 20px"><img alt="Eat, Pray, Love" border="0" src="http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1269870432m/19501.jpg" /></a><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/19501.Eat_Pray_Love">Eat, Pray, Love</a> by <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/11679.Elizabeth_Gilbert">Elizabeth Gilbert</a><br/><br />
My rating: <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/111593832">4 of 5 stars</a><br /><br /><br />
This book was entertaining, touching and inspiring. It taught me about appreciating life and has encouraged me to follow my spiritual path more deeply. It only took me so long to read because the pages were large and the print was smaller than I am used to since this was in paper and not on my Kindle. <br />

You can make a little doll to dress up and earn ribbons to buy clothes for her. One of the ways to earn ribbons is by uploading pictures of your clothes. I am going to be taking pictures of my clothes and adding them here. If you want to play too you can check out my clothes while you are there.

I don't know where to begin... I play with my hair a lot. I pick at my nail polish when it starts to chip. I collect stuffed animals (still) I buy books for my Kindle and in paper even though I have plenty to read to keep me busy for a long long time. I buy clothes even though I have too many. I get excited when I see cows. I daydream about things all the time. I have food cravings that last for days. I go to look up something online and forget what it was. I can't think of any now but I have a "Nerdy Things About Me" video on YouTube you may like :) Sorry I took so long to answer.

I used Everyday Minerals eyeshadow in Laptop and Anna Karenina. Laptop is the brown color and Anna Karenina is the dark blue. I also used Urban Decay pencil liner in Deviant on the lower lash line followed by Anna Karenina to mute the color and deepen it so it wasn't as dark. Then I used Laptop OVER THAT to soften it even more. I finished with EcoBella mascara in Black and filled my brows with the brow color from E.L.F.'s Mini Makeup Collection. I used my regular foundation (EDM Beige Sun-kissed Fair in Semi Matte) and EDM Natural Reflections fininshing powder in Fair. I used EDM Timeshare blush (a matte berry tone - definitely cool if you are wondering) <br />
<br />
EDM = Everyday Minerals <br />
E.L.F. = Eyes Lips Face<br />

I was inspired to create Avatar themed nails with Konad. I would have added glitter to the dots if I had glitter nail art pens. (Like the glowing freckles the Na'vi have.) I used Zoya's Jo for the background color and blue Konad stamping polish and plate number M73. I hope you like it. It is a more subtle look but that is what I was going for. I still have them done this way today :) <br />

<br />
I started at the nape of the neck and sectioned my hair with my fingers not a comb and braided. I worked in layers ending with the top of my head. Like so:<br />

<br />
Then I left them in overnight and took them out and added Jonathan Leave in Conditioner to reduce frizzies and smooth it. <br />

If you guys want I can do another post with a list of all my past and current celeb crushes. This is 5 of my favorites from when I was growing up.<br />

I am thinking of doing a list of celebs 40+ that I like. I think it is funny that I have mostly dated younger guys. (My boyfriend, Brandon is younger, yet I have many celeb crushes in this age group)awesomeveganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05565612248513965726noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8998437949489704069.post-25543636125273196032009-12-17T23:29:00.000-05:002009-12-17T23:29:02.496-05:00Jen and the Case of the Missing PackageAn update: <br />
<br />
My missing package arrived today! It was postmarked 11/28/2009. Someone wrote "Wrong address return to sender" on it but the address isn't wrong... weird... I have no clue what that was about. I will do a video or pictures of it probably tomorrow if I feel up to it. I am still hurting from Tuesday's fall. If you don't know what I am talking about ready my Bare Bumm Bath blog. <br />
<br />
Everything smells great and she included free samples. Poor Robin (thepinksink on etsy) even sent a replacement package already. I am going to have doubles but she said no worries and to enjoy them. What a sweetie! You should all check her out!awesomeveganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05565612248513965726noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8998437949489704069.post-27485824461856980812009-12-16T22:42:00.000-05:002009-12-16T22:42:05.926-05:00BareBummBath Haul VideoI got a handmade soap haul on etsy. Please watch the video. <br />
<br />
I fell on the stairs yesterday and hurt myself. I don't plan on doing my nails until I get better. I went to the emergency room last night. Nothing is broken. I have a contusion. Bruising under the skin. It hurts bad and you may notice me not moving my left arm too much in parts of the video. I hope you will enjoy the haul. This is not the replacement for the one that got stolen. This is from a different seller. I will update you when my other packages come. I have a few small packages coming soon. :) <br />
<br />
Here is the video!<br />
