Seitan, Lettuce and Tomato Sandwich…..
Remember my lovely garden I started about a month ago? It was all kinds of different lettuce…I am now being rewarded with fresh lettuce every day. The thing about lettuce, the more you pick, the more it grows! Its great! And its all organic! I always use to love bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwiches….then I thought, how could I replicate bacon? Yes, you can buy vegan bacon, but as I’ve been researching more and more about macrobiotics, I realized that vegan bacon isn’t the way to...
Read MoreSeiten – what is it?
When I decided to become a vegan and later look into macrobiotics I kept reading recipes for “SEITEN”, what is it? I saw it in the health food store and bought it…made a recipe using it and it was horrible…so naturally any recipes I found with seiten in it I stayed away from it. Then I started seeing recipes to make your own..Seitan,so I decided to try it. Seiten is actually wheat meat. Seitan is made from wheat gluten, made by kneading the bran and starch out of the flour. Eaten raw,...

I try to exercise at least 6 hours a week. Now…believe me, I’m not a fan of exercising….But….its so important for you and your heart! I’ve found a new love…YOGA! I’ve been reading all my new macrobiotic books and they all say do Yoga. Fortunately I’m a member at the YMCA and they have yoga, so I thought I’d give it a try. Love it! Yoga isn’t for wimps, let me tell you! You can work at your own pace, believe me, I’m no human pretzel, in fact...
Read MoreGrilled Vegan Pizza
I love pizza. It’s probably one of the hardest things I’ve given up as a vegan; cheese that is. I still try pizza at my local pizza shop without cheese of course. But what’s a pizza without cheese? Fortunately there’s several different “vegan” cheeses out there that are really tasty, usually made from soy or rice. So the other day I decided to make my own pizza. I’m always watching Food Network, I was watching “What Would Brian Boitano Make?” (yes the figure...
Read MoreMacrobiotic
I’ve been reading and rediscovering my vegetarianism/veganism ways. Along the way I’ve discovered macrobiotics. I touched upon it awhile back. Macrobiotics isn’t only what you eat, its a way of life. I’ve discovered many wonderful books. I’m reading two different books on macrobiotics at the moment (don’t ever start 2 books at the same time…its difficult!) One of the books is from a wonderful author, “Cristina Pirello”, she has a series of books, the one...
