And, here's some of what I've been making and eating recently...
Cocoa-Goji Granola (yep, new recipe). Crunchy, sweet but not sickly-sweet (as are most commercial granola varieties). And, kidlets enjoy eating it and watching their milk turn "chocolate". Personally, I like eating it
straight up! (that brings back memories!)
Marinated tempeh that's been grilled on the bbq along with
zukes and peppers. Man, we love grilled veggies! And, the tempeh was delicious too. When tempeh is seasoned and cooked just right, it is far better than tofu in taste
and texture (in my opinion). Served it with short-grain brown rice (so comforting and chewy yummy), and my "
Peanut Passion Sauce" from
eat, drink & be vegan
. Oh, and the tempeh is also a new recipe, I just have absolutely no name for it right now!
Perhaps in the back of our minds we already understand, without all the science I've discussed, that something terribly wrong is happening. Our sustenance now comes from misery. ... We perhaps know more than we care to admit, keeping it down in the dark places of our memory - disavowed. When we eat factory-farmed meat we live, literally, on tortured flesh. Increasingly, that tortured flesh is becoming our own. (Source: Eating Animals

These sound delicious, as your other recipes I've tried. I recently received Vive le Vegan! and soooo love it! Thanks for sharing your ideas and recipes.
enjoying the quotes from the books you're reading! Looks like I'll be reading Eating Animals soon.
Hi Pammy pam (that's fun to write & say in my head)! Well, congrats on your 2-week vegan journey, and I think it's a great way to go, easing into the changes. It's also helpful to think of the dietary changes as including MORE foods (new vegan foods and products, new veggies, nuts, beans, etc) rather than what you are discontinuing in your diet. Soon enough, you become more interested in all the new foods and how great they make you feel and the 'old' foods lose their appeal. Keep it up, and thanks for 'tuning in' and dropping in with a note.
Thanks Christine, it's really lovely to hear you are digging vlv! :)
Thanks Tyrah, and EA is really an excellent book, I highly recommend it!
