Cooking healthy!

What are you doing?

Ouch! I didn't know that. Take care of yourself eating healthy and getting the proper supplements. I have never thought Patric Swayze will die so young but aged and thin. He was strong and agile... so sad :(

I totally agree... won't get the vaccine myself. See the video I posted here. If this is true, it is a macabre plan!

That was both a great article and read. Personally, I have chosen to NOT get the vaccine. Let me back up though--it's totally a personal decision. Susana, you've provided a lot of useful, scientific and evidenced based information on which to mak...

PRAISE FOR EATING ANIMALS:

"For a hot young writer to train his sights on a subject as unpalatable as meat production and consumption takes raw nerve. What makes Eating Animals so unusual is vegetarian Foer's empathy for human mea… Continue

Didn't mean you cooked fish....The Missus eats vegetarian with fish, hence the fishetarian. That basically means she cooks a lot of tofu dishes and seitan and tempeh...and since she does dinner duty, that's what I eat. So I'm sure she'll love getting new ideas from your site (in the vegetarian route). Sometimes my Irish english doesn't come out right!

Hi Susana; I came to your blog to request you as a friend. Your pictures have made me so hungry. I am going to eat.

I like the pictures you took on your walk as well. :)

Glad I checked out your site! The Missus is a fishetarian, as she likes to call herself, so I know she'll love checking out your recipes. I especially liked the pyramid for vegans...great info!

I made this recipe using whole wheat flour and brown sugar instead... everything is dark at home! :) I was in a hurry so didn't have too much patient for the "roses" to raise but ended up being delicious! See photo :) Thanks!
