  • JillSimpson Tasty Vegan Food

    My youngest (10 yr old) son has decided, for moral reasons, to become a vegetarian. We thought it would just be a fad (he loves meat!) but he has been sticking with it for almost 6 months now. My concern has been that he eats more carbs (pasta) and cheese now, and has put on some weight. I read about Chef Chloe, whose vegan cupcakes actually WON out over the other traditional, butter-and-egg-based cupcakes on the Food Network program, "The Cupcake Wars." I checked out her website, which aside from the desserts, has some great-looking healthy vegan recipes that I plan to try out, such as Black Bean Sliders and Mushroom Tacos:

    • Deborah Congrats to your son (believing in something and changing our behaviors is hard on adults, but doing that at 10? How awesome)!!!! I'm going to go check that site as we play with the vegan/vegetarian diet. (we're eating lower on the food chain mostly)

    • Brandie Great find there! We aren't there yet - but we have cut a lot of meat out of our diet in the last few years. And we don't miss it at all!
