Making Soy Milk at Home

For whatever reason, I have always preferred most things plain rather than flavored, and the same goes for the non-dairy milks: make it plain for me! Hold the vanilla! Actually I like it unadulterated, GMO-free, and organic. And it can be hard to find and expensive. Yes, I'm hard to please! You should see what I want for Christmas! Read the label on the box of your plain soy or almond milk and you will discover that it's not as plain as you thought and has other stuff with long fancy chemically-sounding names added to it. So what's a country boy lost in the big city to do but take things in hand and start making his own organic, non-GMO, unadulterated soy milk at home. Duh! I had heard of a friend who had a soy milk maker thing-a-ma-jig and that sounded like a gadget to me, and as much as I like "plain", I LOVE gadgets. So a quick search of Amazon turned up this thing called a Soyajoy G4 Soy Milk Maker. I H-A-D to get one! So I did! Of course!. It's s

How to Get Started on a Whole-Food Plant-Based Diet

Welcome! Presumably you've landed on this page because you are thinking about trying a "whole-food plant-based" diet. A whole-food plant-based diet is a diet that is focused on healthy nutrition, and that consists of whole foods rather than processed foods, and excludes animal protein.

It was the beginning of my journey to self-education, motivation, and action. Fortunately there are some amazing resources out there online that helped me be successful in changing my nutrition for the better, and I'll share them with you in this post. But first, I need you to make a pledge before y

Summer Lunch Menu

Menu Roasted tomato and pepper gazpacho Kale salad with chickpeas and spicy tempeh Broiled figs with cashew cream We had a friend over for lunch last Sunday and I thought it would be a great idea to record here what I served. Often my only recollection of what I prepared for someone is that it was easy or too hard, a flop or a success, but I can't recall what was actually on the menu. So in the interests of being able to go back and dig up old menus, I thought I'd try and make a practice of recording them here for your benefit and mine when trying to put a menu together for lunch. None of our friends are vegans. The closest we get are a couple who eat dairy and fish but no meat. Would that be a lacto-pescatarian, or a pesco-lactarian, or a lacto fishatarian, or... Oh, whatever! Well it's mid-summer here and was going to be a hot day, and we almost always eat outside on the deck. So I wanted something cool and light. What better than to start with some gazpac
