Inspired by Alicia Silverstone's "The Kind Diet" and Michael Pollan's "In Defense of Food," we want to experience the vegan lifestyle to improve our health, boycott animal suffering, and reduce our carbon footprint.

Finding my center

I am a tad stressed at work.  For much of the afternoon, I couldn't help dreaming about cooking with my fridge remnants.  Then, I tapped into my inner Julia Child and concocted an amazing feast - with some leftover!  Cubed tofu, onion, red pepper sauteed with salsa and sprinkled with fresh tomato and basil placed in a warm whole wheat tortilla.  With my red wine glass in hand and apron tied around my waist, I felt much calmer instantly.

I've received great support from many friends and family so far.  Angela likes to remind me why I've made a smart decision (see right).  This is Why You're Fat.

-oatmeal with dried fruit; mushrooms, onions, broccoli
