I love beans/legumes! They aren't a vegetable, but they are very versatile in creating a meat like consistency. We just made lentil burgers for dinner tonight, and we do black bean burgers as well. Both of these things are fairly easy to make from scratch and freeze for quick meals later. I find...

I purchased organic agave nectar before because the store I was at was out of honey and I needed some for a recipe I was making that day. It was fine as far as taste goes, but I agree with the above posters as far as nutritional benefits go. If I had the choice between the two I would probably...

I just watched 'The Affair' on Showtime. It was on around the holidays, but I caught it online. Oh my gosh, was it good! It's obviously about two married people involved in an affair with one another, but it also has a murder mystery involved as well. It starts off a little slow, but there's so...

I, too, am a fan of grilled pineapple. I don't really care for pineapple that much raw, but on the grill is a different story! I've never thought of grilling peaches before. That's a great idea! Has anyone here ever tried a grilled pizza before? They are surprisingly delicious!

I understand what you're saying with the special requests. I'm sure that got crazy! I like that when I travel and call in my special food request, the airline will ask me if I'm a vegan or lacto-ovo vegetarian. I'm sure they had a lot of confusions before doing it that way! I was a bartender in...

I LOVE BEANS! Specifically, black beans. Though, I really don't discriminate. Black beans were a huge reason for me giving up meat in the first place. I just loved them so much, I didn't miss meat at all. I'm a big lover of Mexican and Southwest style foods. I prepare mine with garlic, bell...

This question always makes me laugh because, in my opinion, protein is the easiest thing to get elsewhere. Black beans were one of my favorite foods even before the veg life, but there are so many other things I eat on a regular basis. The thing I've always struggled more with are getting enough...

Anything that is packed with protein is always a great energy booster for me. Peanut butter toast and hard boiled eggs are a couple of my favorites. I know it's a beverage, but green tea is in my daily routine. It may be a placebo effect for me considering the caffeine is pretty low, but I...

I have a 13 month old, and we are bringing her up in a pescatarian household...for now. In my opinion, as a parent it's my job to provide nutritious food for my daughter, but not to patrol how much or when she eats. Any time you enforce any type of special diet or limitation you have to be...

My favorite place to travel is anywhere with a beach! My husband is from Cyprus, a small, Greek-speaking, island country in the Mediterranean. We are currently here now on holiday. It's so beautiful, especially in the Summer, but boy do they love their meat here! When you tell people you don't...

I am a pescatarian (or vegetarian that eats fish ;) for health reasons. I tell people I'm a vegetarian all the time, and I do occasionally eat fish. I don't buy much fish to eat at home, but since I do it for health reasons if my only options are cheese, fries and fish at a restaurant I choose...
