Episodes » Episode 16: Falafel!
I remember the first time I ever made falafel. I was at
Jewish summer camp, 8 or 9 years old, I remember forming
the ball and then, like magic, some cute male counselor
fried it up right in front of me. I rememer writing a
letter to my mom about it; I think it went something
like, "AND I MADE MY VERY OWN FALAFEL," except all I
really did was form and eat it. If someone told me then
that I'd one day take millions (200) viewers on a
virtual journey through the entire Falafel making
process...I expect 9 year old me would have been very
proud, and also really confused.
Anyway, I
love making falafel, it involves two things I cherish:
my food processor and deep frying. Deep frying anything
is sort of a marvelous feet. You start with something
mushy and sticky, and you end up with something crunchy
and tasty. One could say that a piece of food dipped in
the frier for the first time is like a Caterpillar
spinning it's first cocoon. Once completed there's
something poetic about both things.
HAHAHA

Episodes » Episode 15: Corn Bean Salad!Hello, E. Biters! I'm happy to present today's episode, Corn Bean Salad, in VEGAN-VISION! That's right, this is the first *second Vegan recipe to appear on Economybites.tv, and we are feeling very proud! We've crossed over into...something.
So the recipe: it's so ridiculously easy, you may not
need me to blog. Oh, and for full for disclosure, this
is not my recipe. I stole it from my friend, Lauren,
who is a culinary MASTER! Hi, Lauren!! Thanks for the
inspiration!
Since I learned to make this salad, I've seen variations of it everywhere. Picnics, potlucks, you name it, all of over the place. It's like when you buy a Jeep and then you see Jeeps all over the road. Hasn't that happened to everybody?

Episodes » Episode 13: Allie's Tortilla SoupHellloooo, Economy Bites fans! Here we are, dead of January. It's cold, it's horrible and I mostly want to hide under my kitchen table with Omelette the cat. Only two things bring me solace during this time of year: the many dedicated fans of Economy Bites, and Tortilla soup. No offense intended to the CatPet or the BoyPet.
