If vegetarians eat vegetables, what do humanitarians eat?  ~Author Unknown

One farmer says to me, "You cannot live on vegetable food solely, for it furnishes nothing to make the bones with;" and so he religiously devotes a part of his day to supplying himself with the raw material of bones; walking all the while he talks behind his oxen, which, with vegetable-made bones, jerk him and his lumbering plow along in spite of every obstacle.  ~Henry David Thoreau

Cabbage

So I got endless amounts of cabbage last week in my Bountiful Baskets.  Today I decided why not juice it and put it in with my apples, oranges, and lemons.  It is wonderful! It makes a very mild, sweet juice, which helps tame the citrus.  Give it a try!

YUCK~

I am not a fan of raw garlic in my food ~ if anyone has suggestions how to make it better besides cooking it please, please, please let me know! 

Thanks!  Michele

Protein Bars

One recipe for protein bars are posted.  I have two more if anyone is interested.  I really, really enjoy these.  I freeze them into small servings and take them with me to work to give me a boost throughout the day!  They totally hit my sweet spot that I have daily!  :)

VEGAN FRENCH TOAST!!!

YUM!  Just tried what has to be my all time favorite vegan french toast.  Maple-Pecan French Toast found in the cookbook Vegan Bites.

Give it a try!!  ME

Fried Rice

Zoe is one of the pickiest eaters I know.  So, I have added a kid friendly section to my blog, to help those that want their kiddos to eat, but also want to enjoy their meals as adults too.  To start, I have added my favorite Pineapple Fried Rice.  Zoe absolutely loves it every time!  Enjoy!

First Recipe Posted!

I'm getting the hang of this!  Check out the crepe recipe on the RAW page! 

To all my friends and family and anyone that finds this interesting

I have officially been vegan for about three years. Yes, I have to admit, I have occasionally tasted dairy and (cough, cough) meat...and have decided that it does not go with my values nor does it agree with my body chemistry. So...for all those that know me....and for those yet to know me...I am bringing to you a wonderful new blog (which my geeky husband will fix up for me as I am not tech savvy) to introduce to you my way of eating. Please, if you have suggestions on what to add to this blog I am all ears (that is, unless you suggest meat or dairy which I know my family will be tempted to do). Eventually as this blog site gets up and running I hope to have my favorite websites, recipes, and recommendations for cookbooks. But as we all know great things take time....so for now be patient and later enjoy!
