Bryanna's is more blended and soft and then sets up in the oven as it bakes. It can be cut into all kinds of shapes and doesn't crumble (I'm not saying it's better than the VwaV recipe, just different).Jennifershmoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08663322884550580226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-1142369189325921312006-03-14T12:46:00.000-08:002006-03-14T12:46:00.000-08:00I have to say, I love her cookbook but the fritatt...I have to say, I love her cookbook but the fritatta was not a hit here with my little 17 month or or my omni dh :( I liked it but now have an *entire* frittata to eat.

Just like in a non-vegan diet, it depends on how much you like to cook and what you like to make. If you need quick and convenient, vegan food can be as easy as opening a can of beans, throwing some frozen veggies in the microwave or steamer basket, and pulling out some wholewheat bread or crackers. Or slapping together a pb&j, heating up a can of soup, washing off a piece of fresh fruit, etc. <BR/><BR/>Some of my food is more labor-intensive, but that's because I'm passionate about cooking and like to spend time in the kitchen.Jennifershmoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08663322884550580226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-1141663794637259492006-03-06T08:49:00.000-08:002006-03-06T08:49:00.000-08:00Jennifer, Love your blog, your ideas, and your pas...Jennifer, <BR/>Love your blog, your ideas, and your passion for healthy food! I've been following for a few weeks now. I was vegetarian for 9 years, until I started eating fish 3 years ago, but still eat mostly veg. <BR/><BR/>I see that shmoo likes Oreos, and I was wondering if you have a Whole Foods market nearby, because they have a store brand Oreo type cookie that tastes 100 times better (in my opinion), and probably has less bad stuff too. Don't think they come in chocolate cream though... :) <BR/><BR/>Going to try the sloppy lennies this week.

I think the processed meat analogues have their place, just as traditional vegan cooking does, too!<BR/><BR/>I think it's awesome that you're looking into going vegan.

My kids are 3 and 16 mos old so I'm not packing lunches for them for school yet, but I will be - school lunches around here are not very healthy at all. We are omnivores but I am trying to eat vegan (cut out the dairy and cheese) more and more. I've been meal planning 1 meat, 1 rice, 1 pasta, 1 soup for each week (with leftovers on the off days), so usually meat is a once a week thing. Anyway the fritatta looks really good. I am learning day by day to cook and I only work from recipes. Would it be possible for you to post some of the recipes so those of us inspired by your web site can make some of the meals? that would be so awesome. Thanks for such an inspiring food blog.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-1141591308332411842006-03-05T12:41:00.000-08:002006-03-05T12:41:00.000-08:00Those look really good!

It tastes a little like smoked turkey or some other meat yet is entirely made from soybeans and related products. It tastes great cold, and is the best meat substitute that I've ever found. <BR/><BR/>You find this brand of baked bean curd at some Asian grocery stores. As the meat supply in Asia grows more dangerous from bird flu and mad cow scares, baked bean curd is growing in popularity. <BR/><BR/>I like to cook Asian style dishes most days using this product.Paul Hoosonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03029231853435326869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-1141555391968864132006-03-05T02:43:00.000-08:002006-03-05T02:43:00.000-08:00oh, man, jennifer, i had one of those almond butte...oh, man, jennifer, i had one of those almond butter smackers today! so tasty. not at all like a reese's peanut butter cup, so much better...i loved the texture. it was kinda like a way tastier rice krispie treat....something like that. verdict: expensive, but delicious.<BR/><BR/>k*Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-1141510471613202802006-03-04T14:14:00.000-08:002006-03-04T14:14:00.000-08:00what does young schmoo eat on the weekends might I...what does young schmoo eat on the weekends might I ask?<BR/><BR/>:)High Power Rocketryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11537203640644706903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-1141508425333976392006-03-04T13:40:00.000-08:002006-03-04T13:40:00.000-08:00I like your page very much.
