Guest guest Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 Thanks for sharing that recipe. I love arugula.Virtually any green would work in this recipe, I imagine. But arugula is definitely tops!Martha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 Day 7 today on fat-free vegan. Hubby and I both had our first "cheat" last night unbeknownst to each other: we both took some almond butter (gasp) and put it on a whole grain cracker. Funny how we both "cheated" on the same day with the same food.Richard is not feeling well as of last night - got cold & hot but no fever. We are wondering if he might be de-toxing a little bit from going from an Atkins diet to totally fat-free vegan. That's my guess, anyway. I have gout but since starting this new lifestyle, a beginning attack "disappeared" after my third day on the vegan foods. I'm keeping my eyes on the prize - my blood sugar is down from 168 to this morning at 129 (both are fasting bloods sugars) and my blood pressure is down to 121/82, very nice. And all this after one week (really six days) on vegan. Yesterday I ate two sandwiches with sprouted rye bread, hummus, cabbage leaves, red onion, artichoke heart (packed in water) a couple of kalamata olives (fatty) and some capers. They were OUTSTANDING. I must say, the sandwiches are my favorite as well as the Amy's Minestrone soup in the can which tastes better than any canned soup I've ever had, bar none, even clam chowder. It's good to find at least two things I love so far.I'll keep looking for things to love to eat on this lifestyle. My biggest buggaboo is salt - I want salt on everything because I have not transitioned to loving the actual flavor of the bean or rice or quinoa plain. Maybe this will come in time. I use Bragg's but I still think it's salt.Peace outJenniferOn Feb 5, 2009, at 6:54 PM, jenpollard wrote:6 cups vegetable stock (or no chicken broth by Imagine)2 lbs 12 oz desiree potatos chopped into small pieces2 large garlic cloves; peeled9 oz arugula + extra for garnishvegan parmesan (optional)1.

Guest guest Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 I found mine next to the vegan cheeses and sour cream at my local health food store, Earthfare. Where are you located?

Guest guest Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 Some health foods stores probably sell it. Wild Oats used to carry it, but I hadn't seen it in a long time, even before they transitioned to Whole Foods. Some WF may carry it, depending on the market size-and if they don't, ask them why! Usually they are good about ordering stuff in for you. You can order it online from Vegan EssentialsSoymage: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtpV08sg3kc & sdig=1Parma: http://www.veganessentials.com/catalog/parma-raw-parmesan-cheese-alternative.htmNeither are exactly fat free though :(Or you can make your own:Parmezano 1 c nutritional yeast flakes or powder1/2 c raw almonds1/2 tsp saltPlace all ingredients in a food processor and process until reduced to a fine powder (which can take a bit of time if your food processor isn't very powerful or you put too much in at one time.) Store in the refrigerator and use like you would parmesan cheese. The almonds will add some fat, but it's not added fat (such as oil or margarine).--- On Fri, 2/6/09, jennifer trump <jennifur wrote: where do you find vegan parmesan?
