Bio (Omaha, NE): Hi, I’m Emily, and I’m a vegetarian. I made the switch in 2002. I barely even think about it until some poor soul finds out and asks, “What the hell do you eat, then?” My mind inevitably draws a blank, because the answer is everything. I eat everything. All the things on all the days!!! My enthusiasm usually bewilders them, because vegetarian food to most means raw tofu (HORK) or some terrible whole wheat wrap smothered in hummus and stuffed with sprouts (DOUBLE HORK). Why is vegetarian food so sad? I care about my health and regularly make meals that reflect that. But as a vegetarian of the rounder variety, I also care about asiago cheese. Deeply. This blog is meant to save vegetarian food from the health food genre and present it in all of its drippy, buttery, full-flavor glory, and to answer the question: What the hell do you eat?
