The variety of a vegan diet [19]Comments on: http://www.ilaxstudio.com/blog/2009/10/28/the-variety-of-a-vegan-diet/ Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

It takes some practice to get over the intimidation factor with new recipes but after a while they all start to seem easier.

I am not going to lie - I thought it was strange, at first! I think I didn't understand the concept fully, and I was young and stupid. :-) What's interesting to me now, though, is how many things I eat (and love!) that ARE vegan. I think people just don't realize that good food is good food. I'm with you on the cooking - I could never, ever "throw" a recipe together! Sigh. Maybe one day...but until then, at least we can both follow recipes well! .-= Author's last blog post... <a href="http://thebalancebroad.wordpress.com/2009/10/29/my-old-stompin-grounds/" rel="nofollow">My Old Stompin’ Grounds</a> =-.

No fear of Dracula paying y'all a visit for days! :D Congrats on the whole cooking experience! When I highlight my Foody Friday posts, it partly serves as a pat on the back for me, to encourage me to continue experimenting in the kitchen. A lot of what is produced I'm not sure if I'd ever serve to guests tho, but hey, Kosh is more than happy to consume all that's been produced so far, yay! His only complaint was my eggplant experiments, because it turns out he's not a fan of eggplant. Keep on keeping on in the kitchen, it's not that bad in there :) .-= Author's last blog post... <a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/LifeAfterWork/~3/pPzw8rQTYz0/its-kapgars-fault.html" rel="nofollow">it's kapgar's fault...</a> =-.

I was just reading about Alicia Silverstone's new book, The Kind Diet, in the latest issue of Women's Health. There's a recipe in there for vegan Reese's Peanut Butter cups - Yummy!!!

I'm the designated cook in my family and I find it a huge relief when my husband takes the initiative if I'm busy or coming home late. I'm sure your guy was happy to have the break. I cook with and without recipes, but going it alone definitely requires courage and experience -- sometimes things come out great and sometimes they're awful. Usually even when I'm improvising, I start from a recipe and just tweak it a little so that things have a better chance of coming out OK. .-= Author's last blog post... <a href="http://yawwblog.blogspot.com/2009/10/my-good-health-guidelines-update.html" rel="nofollow">My Good Health Guidelines update</a> =-.

As for cooking, I too have some trepidation. I've gotten over it the past couple years (living alone will do that to a girl!) but when I see a recipe with a ton of ingredients, I tend to head for the hills.
