Recipes
You do not have to eat a lot of meat, cheese and dairy products to have delicious flavorful meals. Included here are some favorite recipes. I hope to continue to add more with the seasons. Most are meat and dairy free. The "Creamy" recipes are dairy-free, I use soy products instead of dairy. Soy milk, almond milk, cashew milk and coconut milk are all great alternatives to dairy milk, and there are soy alternatives to sour cream and cream cheese.
Perhaps my favorite and most often used cookbook is
Vegan Fire & Spice: 200 Sultry and Savory Global Recipes Plus, a really great Vegan Blog today with lots of great recipes:

I use a lot of fresh herbs to add lots of delicious low calorie, low
fat flavor. Luckily, for much of the year I can get herbs from the garden. But fresh herbs
have been making their way to our supermarkets more and more, so add them all year long
and don't skimp! Also, try making things spicy for more flavor. These are recipes for people who like to cook and to eat. They
usually involve a fair amount of chopping, but the actual cooking goes fairly fast. I hope
you enjoy them. Green Bean Salad (Vegan) Pasta Salad (Vegan) Butternut Squash and Kale Soup (Vegan) Easy Bean Soup (Vegan) Sesame Noodles (Vegan) Sesame Green Beans (Vegan) Greens with Tomatoes and Lime (Vegan)

Go to www.getmoneyout.com to sign a petition for a constitutional amendment to make all federal elections publicly funded,
thus eliminating big money interests from election campaigns and reducing corporate influence on elected officials.
"What does this have to do with what I eat?", you might ask. Big agribusiness
makes sure that you are eating plenty of chemicals, limits your access to organic foods and wants to limit your access to dietary supplements.
When corporations fund election campaigns they influence policy. It is not in the
interest of large corporations to have high standards for organic foods or to label GMO foods so that we know what we are eating. It is in their interest to promote chemicals,
factory farms and highly processed foods, to curtail the growth of small farms and local agriculture, and to make sure that almost everything you eat contains dairy products.
