Chowd-ish

The Chef: Elizabeth

The Menu: Yep, it's soup and that's it. OK, it was sort of supposed to turn out like a green chile-corn chowder, which, well, it didn't quite. But that idea sounds good, right? Since the actual meal was like a chowder, but not really thick enough, we're going with "chowd-ish," which we're pretty sure Rachael Ray is kicking herself for not thinking up yet. Elizabeth topped her creation with some lightly marinated Swiss chard. The end.

The Goods: You know, good intentions are really important in the kitchen, but something even more important is actually having groceries with which to cook! VN has recently discovered a whole new cleanse, for those of you at home who need to change up your regular eating habits. Here's our patented, fail-proof cleanse that's sure to break you out of your delicious-food-eating routine. Step one: don't buy groceries for a couple of weeks. Step two: make chow-dish with whatever's left. Presto! You're already eating less and feeling great! Tell us all about how fabulously this plan has worked for you, right after you finish filling out the Veggie Awards Survey.

Good one. I know that sometimes people might think you're a food magazine, in which case they will put way too much stock in the "food" part of your mag/website. I ,however, realize that you are a lifestyle magazine and as part of any great vegan lifestyle, communication should be of the utmost importance. Having said this I would just like to say, that regardless of whether you can cook or not, you have nailed the ability to articulate your idea effectively with an intelligent and uncanny knack for being fun, funny and amusing. I can cook, I, however, can not write. Kudos!

Fun! I love left over soups. I made my favorite lentil soup with carrots getting a little soft in the middle. Even better on day 2.
