Vegan/Vegetarian Thread (discussion, recipes, laughs)

Passionaria · 04-29-2012, 12:13 PM

I am not currently a vegan or vegetarian, although I do love and eat this cuisine often. I used to be really strict and "force" myself into being vegetarian, but it made me feel rebellious. And I thought how silly to rebel against myself????? Now I am trying to listen to my body and delight her in what she calls for. It's been a long process for me making peace with food, as I can be an emotional eater. So I am an omnivore with wicked vegan desert tendencies. Love veggie cuisine, but also the grounding of animal products.

I just wanted to say I am so enjoying the recipe ideas! Yummy, it's so yummy......

Classic Macaroons

2 cups dried, unsweetened coconut
½ cup almond flour
¼ cup coconut butter
½ cup maple syrup
1/8 teaspoon vanilla
Sea salt to taste
Mix all ingredients together. Roll into balls. Refrigerate until solid. If you're not totally raw, try these dipped in nutella..you will thank me

Greco: Try steaming the Asparagus till it is firm but just turns bright green, then freeze. That is how I do green beans, and it may just work for Asparagus as well?

Off to fantasize about coconut macaroons....AYE!
