Day 39 Thinking Outside the Bowl

That is all Vegan cooking requires, "thinking outside the bowl". When you tell people about the diet and that you do not eat any animal products most people think that there is nothing left to eat. That is why getting a good Vegan Cookbook is so essential, it helps you think outside the box or "bowl".

I began the vegan diet 4 years ago. I was just planning to do it for a thirty day trial. At the end of thirty days, I felt so great that I decided that there was no reason to return to my former "All American" diet. Over the next six months, I found that my cholesterol had dropped radically, I no longer had headaches (I used to carry aspirin with me constantly), I was never sick, not even a cold, my digestive system worked perfectly and I was relieved of occasional pain in my hip joints after a long day of gardening or physical work. Now four years later, I can still give the same report: not a single headache, never sick etc. So, I encourage you to give it a thirty day trial and see how great you feel.

Tonight, I made the Basil Salad Dressing (pg188) and the Raw Salsa (pg197). Both are great recipes but the Raw Salsa is a "must try". It is that good. I'll send you the recipe tomorrow to convince you to buy the book and cook along with Ruth. How about it???????
