I would love to help you make this transition. :)<br /><br />And I certainly agree with your thoughts on whole foods - I wanted to start with some familiar foods, thinking it would help to make the transition if you know you don't have to give up the things (and personal connections) that you love. But I will absolutely be covering all the other wonderful vegan things out there, that are just wonderful on their own.<br /><br />As for eggs, I will definitely cover that in more detail in the future as well. For now I'll mention that in the chocolate chip cookie recipe you could easily use ground flax seed instead of Ener-G (my plan is to try that next time). The bag even says exactly how to use it to replace eggs! And it's natural and way good for you. :) And in the pecan pie recipe, the eggs are subbed with tofu, which again is totally natural, even if it's processed. Hope that gives you somewhere to start until I get to go into more details!<br /><br />Thanks for being here! :)Estherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14888776329656330766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-553840463200217583.post-53615525017853064332011-10-04T16:41:10.290-04:002011-10-04T16:41:10.290-04:00Interesting, I'd never heard of seitan (in my ...Interesting, I'd never heard of seitan (in my head I'm pronouncing it 'satan'). I'd love to try the recipe.<br /><br />Obviously it's your blog and all, but I'd like to suggest some topics that I would find interesting reading. <br /><br />First, I want to know about vegan substitutes for eggs and dairy in baking. What the heck are they? I'm frightened of them because they seem so fake. I'd rather forgo the treat if it means not eating chemicals for any food, vegan or not. <br /><br />Second, I've been vegetarian for... oh, a long time. Thirteen years at least, probably more. I don't miss meat at all. (I do eat fish from time to time, but cut me a break. I'm from Seattle. Going to an aquarium makes me hungry. It's just in my blood.) I don't eat meat substitutes except in those rare instances (and I have had them) where not eating it would have been rude. I swore I'd never go vegan, but, to my surprise, I've been flirting with the idea for several months and have cut back at least 85% on my dairy intake. I'm interested in vegan dishes that are delicious and tasty without any substitutes for non-vegan items. That covers a lot of Indian dishes, certainly, but there must be others out there being creative with whole, natural foods. For myself, I'm less interested in recreating favorites than finding new and delicious dishes to eat. Not that I won't read your blog regardless. :)<br /><br />Happy eating!Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01338191914513562020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-553840463200217583.post-53670078197376282712011-10-04T13:39:43.432-04:002011-10-04T13:39:43.432-04:00Just another reason being vegan is awesome - all t...Just another reason being vegan is awesome - all those happy moments when you recreate things, and they turn out! It kind of forces kitchen genius, I think.
