I have lived most of my life as a vegan. Growing up with my parents and siblings, I was exposed to fresh meat products more than fresh fruit and vegetables. I decided then young as I was that vegetarian (for Me) is the way to go. As I became of age, married with three children, I decided to try and become a full on vegan, much to the disgust of many people around me. I became ill due to lack of nutrition in the foods I was consuming and the very little and limited knowledge of vegan foods and wh... more...

Here are three quick dinner ideas using frozen or refrigerated dough (thaw frozen dough in the re... more...

In the golden days of TV moms stayed home all day vacuuming the house while wearing pearls, cooking special meals, and doling out wise advice to the kids when dad wasn't around. Meals could take all day and could involve many intricate steps and that wasn't just on TV, it was a reflection of real life as well. In comparison, the 21st century world is one of amazing technology and lives that are much more fast paced. Mothers, and fathers who now take on a large part of the coo... more...

Many people simply don't have a lot of time to cook. That's right, they live very full lives and have loads of other things to do. Between school and after school activities, work schedules, church, family outings, and all the other things we find ourselves in from day to day, sometimes fast food is their only alternative in the midst of a busy day. Oftentimes it's not a matter of cooking itself, even if you really like to cook (which many people do not), but rather of com... more...

Families gather not only to celebrate the historic event, but just to catch up with everyone's lives. Thanksgiving dinner recipes can be quite different, as there are many ways to cook a turkey.

Many people don't have a lot of time to cook. And here's one reason: a lot of people simply don't cook well (or at all). Not really surprising when you take into account that they have a lot of other things to do. Sometimes fast food is their only alternative in the midst of a busy day. Quick, healthy, inexpensive meals aren't easy to plan, that's the problem. People who have trouble with this, however, must not be paying much attention because between cooking sh... more...

Dinner recipes can be hard to come up with day after day, meal after meal. Lots of people get into a menu rut, rotating between the same recipes over and over. Families often find, when examining their food selection, that they constantly eat the same meals while ignoring some old favorites. It's all haphazard and kind of random and there is no real system in place. Now that more people are more focused on other things like work, it's not easy to plan and execute a healthy menu.more...

This is a recipe for a creamy seafood pate, or dip, which you can put on crackers, vegetables, or wedges of bread. You will need to get a brain mold, or some other kind of mold, to use to shape your pate. Makes a nice shrimp or crab flavored dip, which can be spooky as long as you use a spooky mold. There are a couple brain molds for sale on Amazon pretty much at all times. The Recipe * 1 can (about 10 oz) reduced sodium, low fat cream of mushroom soup * 8 ounces... more...

Baking has been many cultures' favorite technique for creating snacks, desserts, and accompaniments to meals for many years. Now, it is very well-known as the method for creating sweets and all sorts of wondrous mouthwatering pastries. In ancient history, the first evidence of baking occurred when humans took wild grass grains, soaked it in water, and mixed everything together, mashing it into a kind of broth-like paste.

If you've thought about eating a healthier diet a good way to do it is by substituting some raw food recipes for some of the daily cooked food recipes you use now.

Although most people think a raw food diet consists of eating fruits and salads and maybe a handful of nuts and seeds, the raw food diet is much more than that. You can prepare dozens of copy cat recipes, those that mimic the standard American diet fare you are probab... more...

My grandmother passed away when I was twelve. She was born and raised in rural Amish country in Indiana. Though it was over twenty five years ago when she died, I clearly remember her and her funny ways. She had a 'davenport,' used 'rouge,' and was allergic to perfume and only used ivory soap. She was forever pulling out her annoying vinyl measuring tape from a golden, round, wicker sewing basket with a matching lid she kept next to her sofa, or davenport. She would ... more...

Red-Red is a popular dish from Ghana made from cowpeas (black-eyed peas). It is thought to have been named for the combination of red pepper and red palm oil that is used in the cooking process. The Red-Red cowpeas stew is usually served with fried plantains, and is a lunch favorite in Ghana, particularly among office workers. If you are "unbeanz," (i.e. unemployed) you can survive on this meal easily because the ingredients are inexpensive. This is most commonly served with fried ripe p... more...
