about me

As my name says, I am new to Vegan. It's a health thing for me - if I win: no Rx, if my doc wins: Rx. I have always enjoyed cooking and this just opens up a whole new arena for me. I am diluting my husband's eating habits with my new found education and am just waiting for him to admit he feels better. I love color on a plate and spice (not necessarily heat). Some things that I have only considered seasoning for exotic dishes (i.e., turmeric, cardamom) can be considered medicinal! What do you know! I just got three new vegan cookbooks (one for idiots) and have been scouring the internet for information and am truly thrilled with the amount available. Thank you fellow cooks!

Favorite Foods:

A couple of months ago I would have listed a variety of meats, but no more. If I get the urge for a hot dog (because I LUV mustard) I have a tofu hot dog on pita loaded with mustard. My favorite sandwich is a boca burger with a topped portabello, both flipped in a hot pan, topped with veggie cheese on sprouted sourdough dressed with avocado, tomato and romaine. I don't have a favorite cookbook - I have too many! And they're all loaded with little yellow post-its marking favorites and potentials. My "famous" dishes are taco salad - which I can recreate as a vegan dish no sweat - and macaroni and cheese - which will be a little tough, but if I do it, I'll post it! Vive la vegan!
