veg on...


Since I have been back from the Canyon I have mostly been out and about and not spending too much time cooking or baking. However I am working on learning how to cook tofu to make it really tasty (it is definitely a work in progress :)) ...after viewing a video on factory farming and also reading 2 wonderful books by Sy Montgomery, The Good Pig and Birdology I have found it increasingly difficult to buy, cook and eat meat. So I am making more vegetarian dishes,like a delicious Morrocan salad, a variety of tofu dishes such as tofu eggless sandwich filling and the dish of tonight, a red curry cauliflower dish. It has coconut milk which I love and it is very tasty on brown rice. yum! I have also started to eat hemp hearts which are very high in complete protein. I overdid the exercise about 4 weeks ago and have had to forgo cycling (I did do 30 km in the ride for Heart) as well as rowing for a bit....hope the physiotherapist is able to help me get back into these things soon. In the meantime, I am not gaining weight, due mostly to eating veggie most of the time (my thought anyway!)....happy cooking....more soon
