The photography is wonderful, and will leave you with your mouth watering. Even my picky eaters were excited when they thumbed through this book.<br />
<br />
<br />
It is<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>The Happy Herbivore </b><br />
<b>by Lindsay S. Nixon</b><br />
<br />
I was lucky enough to receive this as a gift, but the back of the book says the list price is $19.95.cord474http://www.blogger.com/profile/14910244967394238997noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8029189614671341984.post-89715630520926681772011-09-30T17:36:00.000-07:002011-09-30T17:36:47.497-07:00Exceptional Vegan Cookie RecipeWe just tried these cookies, both with and without chocolate chips. They are excellent!!<br />
<br />
The only change to the recipe that we made was to use 1 cup Soft Winter Wheat (Pastry Flour), and 1 cup of the Rice Flour. <br />
<br />
We have not tried to add the ice cream to create the ice cream sandwiches.... but that looks tasty too.<br />

It takes intentional effort to build friendships that are outside<br />
of the typical pot luck or hot dog barbecue setting.<br />

It is a well organized, clearly presented discussion of the health benefits of a plant based diet. <br />
This is a DVD that we plan to share with family and friends who are confused about veganism. <br />
The movie was even appealing to my elementary aged children.<br />
Yay! We will need to order a second copy to pass around!!<br />

</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">My nasty sin nature is sorely tempted to dive into an interest--</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I found this quote by Tim Keller this week,</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Veganism is a </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">good thing</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> in my life.</span><br />

The book is not new, but the information is still solid. <br />
In the book they recommend a supplement called "Vegedog" to use in making homemade dog food. <br />
Today I found the supplement sold online (Yay!) at vegepet.com. <br />
Has anyone else ever tried this supplement or the recipes that are online at vegepet?cord474http://www.blogger.com/profile/14910244967394238997noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8029189614671341984.post-25596248657816001622011-06-27T11:01:00.000-07:002011-06-27T11:01:49.160-07:00Vegan Dog Food??In August, we are going to be getting a new puppy! A friend has a litter of pups & we have selected a little female puppy. My kids have already agreed to the name... Gracie.<br />
<br />
BUT<br />
<br />
I need ideas of how to feed this dog! Does anyone know of any vegetarian or vegan dog foods or dog food recipes?cord474http://www.blogger.com/profile/14910244967394238997noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8029189614671341984.post-86139483202896763172011-06-15T10:35:00.000-07:002011-06-15T10:35:32.198-07:00Dinner GuestsEver notice... that once people discover that you're vegan,<br />
you are not invited over for dinner anymore? <br />
<br />
I still love to have people over to my house,<br />
and I usually make something vegetarian and familiar. Spaghetti, hearty veggie soup, etc.<br />
<br />
But I have noticed that we do not have many people invite us over lately.<br />
<br />

Pastor states his church's position on veganism and vegetarianism. (The sermon is on a section of First Corinthians 8.)<br />

That is my spiritual choice. <br />
The most important choice.<br />
A choice I love to share with my community, my friends, my family.<br />
I am vegan.<br />
That is a healthy choice, a kind choice.<br />
Not my most important choice.<br />
A choice I discuss if you ask.<br />
I love Jesus.<br />
But I don't want to share your pepperoni.<br />
I brought my own lunch, thanks.cord474http://www.blogger.com/profile/14910244967394238997noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8029189614671341984.post-66471386838042587462011-05-31T11:47:00.000-07:002012-05-31T15:42:48.998-07:00KALE shirtWe just watched the Get Healthy Now Red DVD, cooking demos video. The recipes were excellent. One of the ladies doing the demos had a fun! shirt on that said KALE on the front. At first glance you might think it is a YALE shirt. We have found several navy blue KALE shirts at our local Whole Foods store. They also have a fantastic navy blue KALE hooded sweatshirt. <br />
<br />
FYI the EAT MORE KALE t-shirts are from a small business in Vermont at EatMoreKale.com. They have several colors, we love the dark green seen in the men's sizes the best.<br />
<br />
I own one of each of these shirts, and love them both.cord474http://www.blogger.com/profile/14910244967394238997noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8029189614671341984.post-90132692538010822402011-05-29T12:07:00.000-07:002011-05-29T12:07:19.286-07:00Bumper stickers. I LOVE my 2 new bumper stickers:<br />
<br />
Eden Was Vegan <br />
Which was from Christian Vegetarian Association<br />
http://www.all-creatures.org/cva/default.htm<br />
<br />
and<br />
<br />
LoveUsNotEatUs<br />
from the Love Us Not Eat Us web site.<br />
http://www.loveusnoteatus.com/<br />
<br />
<br />
I love watching folks look at the cuddly animals on the LoveUsNotEatUs sticker, then they read the words, then they walk away. cord474http://www.blogger.com/profile/14910244967394238997noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8029189614671341984.post-17635393971655929652011-05-27T12:10:00.000-07:002011-05-27T12:10:14.627-07:00Vegan RecipesI have searched my local library....

Lately I have also put aside dairy, and thus have become vegan. Today I stumbled across a sermon titled "Vegans are Satanic." It amazes me that so many people are convinced that a person cannot be a conservative Christian and a vegan.cord474http://www.blogger.com/profile/14910244967394238997noreply@blogger.com0
