Finally got around to making my own veggie-burger. I have to say that it was really fun!! I’ll have to experiment some more with recipes and techniques. Oh… and I decided to skip the bun this time. Instead I wrapped it in several layers of lettuce. It really brought out the flavor of the veggieburger. … Continue reading

great and awful at the same time
I’ll turn 43 in a few more weeks. Four years ago I started experimenting with a vegan diet. After two years of off and on vegetarianism I came across “The China Study.” That rocked my world.
