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.

I also made a version of "Alicia's Magical Healing Soup" with water, daikon, carrots, red onion, celery, bok choy, leek, button mushrooms, trumpet mushrooms, broccoli, cubed tofu, and a splash of tamari. Simple and satisfying.  Even Angela liked it!  After making the chili and soup, I divided them into little Tupperware containers for freezing.
