Vegan Cheese

One thing that truly amazes me since going over to the dark side of the whole-food plant-based diet, is the ease with which I have given up cheese. Believe me, I was right up there with the cheeseaholics of the world. Once I started on it, I couldn't stop. Sometimes a selection of cheeses was my appetizer, main, and dessert! But when I adopted the WFPB diet, I just quit, and that was it. Don't ask how; I just did.

I have tried some of the vegan cheeses from Trader Joe's but nothing has struck me as all that tasty. It certainly hasn't compared to the "real thing". I see recipes for vegan cheese crop up a lot, and always think I must give it a shot, but haven't seemed to be able to find the time yet.

In today's hunt for vegan recipes I came across a posting about vegan cheese and the recipe sounds good and the writer sounds confident of it's tastiness. What's more, she sounds like she used to be just as big a cheeseaholic as I once was too, so if she says it's good, then it must be good.

Vegan Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream Recipe

It's fall in the northern hemisphere, and here in the United States it's all about "pumpkin". It's funny how different cultures view this wonderful (in my opinion) vegetable. Growing up in New Zealand, pumpkin was a regular feature in the "Sunday roast of lamb". Now when I was growing up it was still the steam age in the mind of many of the younger generation, and the traditional family roast of lamb can in no way, shape, or form can any longer be considered "traditional". An interesting cultural difference was that British immigrants back then turned their noses up at pumpkin because where they came from it was considered nothing more than cow fodder. Interesting, eh! No doubt that attitude has changed now too. Pumpkin doesn't seem to get much airing here in the U.S. until the fall and Halloween come around. Then it's BIG! Jack-o-Lantern carving parties, pumpkin flavored coffee beverages at Starbucks, and of course, pumpkin pie at th

The Importance of Vitamin B12 in the Prevention of Alzheimer's Disease

There is one vitamin that all vegans and vegetarians MUST take as a supplement, and that is vitamin B12. There are two reasons for this. First, vitamin B12 is an "essential" vitamin, which means it is something we must have otherwise we will develop a deficiency disease, but it is a vitamin that is not made by our bodies so must be consumed from food or supplements. Food is always better than supplements, but because of the nature of vitamin B12 we basically have no option other than to take a vitamin B12 supplement. Which leads to the second reason why we need to supplement vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 is actually created by bacteria in soil and is not found in plants. In the past, we were able to get the small doses of vitamin B12 that we need from the residual soil left on plants that we ate. However today we don't forage for food, and most of us don't grow our own vegetables, but rather we head off to the supermarket or grocery store and buy bags of triple-was
