For me, when I made the switch to veganism (a little over a year ago now) I sought out blogs as a means of a support system.<br /><br />I was wondering if you could give me some insight into why you specifically keep a blog? Why you started blogging? and what, if anything, you feel you gain from others blogs?<br /><br />Any insight you could give me into the importance of blogging for you would be greatly appreciated.<br /><br />Thank you for your time,<br />Richelle<br />rbarta@ucsd.edu<br /><br />ps. Anyone who has anything to say on this topic, please feel free to email me!To Whom It May Concern,https://www.blogger.com/profile/02930050779214758024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19150019.post-2918180658388115102011-01-22T21:17:06.727-08:002011-01-22T21:17:06.727-08:00These look amazing....

Even when I'm at home all day, I usually like to wear my regular jeans/pants and shirts, rather than really sloppy clothes, and yes, get put together! Just makes me feel better and more productive. There's so much to do most days that I don't really get in gear until I'm dressed and ready! (blessings to you too, I like that) :)<br /><br />Sarah, I do use chia seeds! Some of my new recipes will include them too - like Chia Banana Muffins, Whole-Grain Chia Pancakes, and then some other recipes using chia (or flax) to help give body/structure to some dishes. Also good to sprinkle on cereal or put in smoothies. Really healthy stuff, right?! Nice idea putting them in a fruit salad, never thought of that!<br /><br />Thanks guys for your notes, fun to read your "pissy day" tips! To answer my own question, I couldn't decide on color yesterday (figures!), so I wore a bit of bright and a bit of black, along with my jeans I like to wear and that felt a wee bit better!!!!Dreenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16551890320761504899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19150019.post-21439412368075834952011-01-21T18:54:42.263-08:002011-01-21T18:54:42.263-08:00interesting info about the vegetarian diet and chi...interesting info about the vegetarian diet and children! thanks for sharing!<br /><br />when i feel grumpy, i put my favorite shirt that makes me feel pretty/happy. :) <br /><br />i love caulflower everything!!!Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07514065308961422906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19150019.post-12693271576550732562011-01-21T16:51:12.397-08:002011-01-21T16:51:12.397-08:00That hummus looks great.

There's nothing like dancing around the living room with the kids to some upbeat tunes to lift my mood. Sometimes I have to ease into it with some wallowing-in-self-pity, slow songs, though! Like, "Bad Day" by Daniel Powter. For some reason that one always makes me feel better. :)Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12920128391063471731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19150019.post-41192877844363573032011-01-21T16:00:12.514-08:002011-01-21T16:00:12.514-08:00Hey Dreena, I hope you're feeling a bit better...Hey Dreena, I hope you're feeling a bit better! Just wanted to give a shout out to that cauliflower - it is hands down the BEST way to prepare and eat cauli, I can easily eat the whole dish of it! I think I might go make it right now - thanks for reminding me about it.<br /><br />p.s. if chocolate didn't work, then yes, a stiff drink may be what you need ;)twealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01597480713478727588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19150019.post-22182189284662264292011-01-21T15:19:55.546-08:002011-01-21T15:19:55.546-08:00Dreena, these look delicious.

By the way, do you use chia seeds? I've become a little addicted! My kids love them in fruit salad. They are so good for you and the texture is fantastic with fruit. Hope you're feeling better!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05111813778274049810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19150019.post-69499032014223104312011-01-21T15:08:54.574-08:002011-01-21T15:08:54.574-08:00That baba dip looks AMAZING!!!

Blessings to you!<br /><br />Second - I love cauliflower and can't wait to see your recipe for that. <br /><br />Third - when I'm cranky I find it helps to get dressed like I'm not a stay-home mom. I actually fix my hair, wear my cute jeans and cute (but washable) top and then, whenever I catch a glimpse of myself throughout the day, at least my outsides look put together. Do you ever do that? Hope your day improves or that at least you get a early night to put the day to bed.Michelle @ Housewife in the Rawhttp://rawhousewife.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19150019.post-1497359772100268742011-01-21T13:25:24.857-08:002011-01-21T13:25:24.857-08:00mmm, those look good!
