I'm partial to Polish/German cabbage dishes but I really like Indian too. Bengan Bharta with chipati bread is my favorite.

You'd need to scour Whole Foods and local health foods stores to find it. I haven't seen it around here. If you google around there are a lot of vegan queso recipes that resemble that brand. Never tasted it but the recipes are really good.

That's true but she could have frozen fresh spinach for the purpose of putting it in a smoothie. I like to freeze all my ingredients too because you don't need to add ice that way. But the OP did say it was tablespoons of spinach, right? Seems like that would be cooked spinach.. Edit: It wasn't tablespoons but who knows.…

Yes. You'd have to actually know the product, though. And raw diets incorporate a lot of foods, there's just a lot of soaking, sprouting, and dehydrating involved. As far as I can tell at least. I've never looked into it and I'm not sold on the benefits so I really don't intend to at the moment.

"vegan pumpkin loaf"

Medjool dates aren't fancy, they're just regular old grocery store dates! And they're super sweet so you only need maybe one in a smoothie. Also, I'm vegan (not raw) and I rarely drink my calories. It's not a necessity. I can tell you if you buy a smart variety of canned, fresh, and frozen fruits and veggies you won't have…

I bought a 40ish dollar scale and it fluctuates like a MF'er. My parents' scale is 100+ and it fluctuates a lot less but our bodies fluctuate a LOT too. Once I got on the scale just as I was passing because it had been moved to the middle of my bathroom for some reason. I had gained a TON but then I realized I was holding…

Your skin has tightened up so amazingly! Great work!

Elementary school was terrible. No nicknames to my face though, at least. We played this weird game in PE once where you jump on someone's back and they guess who it is. The coach kept pairing me and this other bigger girl. I didn't even play. I just stood there. We both knew we had each other every time.. When I was in…

This wouldn't be true if people ate the same amount of meat that they did 50 years ago

They're talking about human LIFE, not what basically boils down to social security. Not enough new people to support the old? That video didn't mention the death rates on the planet at all. What about the millions of people dying of starvation and hunger related diseases whilst poor, "endangered" first worlders are chowing…

I think it's sad that more people don't know so much of the food in the US is genetically modified. It's like food is a big secret here. Basically, if it doesn't say no GMO, you can assume it's genetically modified.

My mom would roast them dry. Make sure you wash them really well after you get them out of the pumpkins. And sprinkle with salt after they're out of the oven. Not sure about the temp but it shouldn't matter. Just keep stirring and testing them. You don't want them to burn but you don't want them chewy either.

You can buy maple sugar or date sugar-- it's granulated and it tastes good too.

This is how I think of it: Say you work out for a minute and rest a minute. You did 20 "reps" of whatever you did for that minute and if you continue at that machine, people generally try to keep the same pace to keep track. So maybe you did 5 "sets" of 20 "reps." (right?)

This is great. I'm glad I've never been to one that takes your picture, at least I THINK so

Chips and fries are usually vegan.. :)

Yeah I want more of the scary doctor man like in the first episode...

ME! I think the blonde old lady is dead. Right?! We really don't know what's going on. It's so cool.

Watching it on Wednesday nights has become a 'thing' for us! Tonight I'm making vegan spinach dip with halloween tortilla chips, TVP sloppy joes, and roasted cauliflower

Home baked cookies or brownies I LIKED junk at exam time. Is your brother wanting to lose weight or no?

I wanted it every day of the 6 months I stopped drinking it..

I'm 5'6, 170-172 pounds and wear L or XL tops, 10 to 14 sized pants and size 10 dresses. So weird right? I'm apple shaped (at least right now) though-- the most unfortunate fruit shape!

I've quit three of four times and they way it creeps back up on me is someone buys me a soda and I end up drinking it. It just takes one. And at my parents' house, they have two refrigerators. One is almost solely used for sodas. Talk about temptation. Right now, I don't buy cans or bottles of soda in bulk. Every once in a…

pinup zombie this year I've also been Bellatrix LeStrange (Harry Potter), Pebbles from The Flintstones, Daria, a pirate, a pumpkin, and a bunch of different witches I've WANTED to do these but never found the right things to wear: Repo! The Genetic Opera Gentern, Columbia from Rocky Horror, and Wednesday Adams

Smarties are maybe 25 calories per roll

Try tea with hot apple juice instead of water if you haven't yet. Hot carrot/ginger juice, blackberry/strawberry or any kind of berry juice is good warm

I'd rather take aspirin for cramps so I don't really use Midol that much. My friend gets super shaky and jittery though. I think it's the caffeine. She doesn't do well with caffeine.
