Happy Monday everyone!I love all this talk about food. I've been to two grocery stores this past week in search of bulgur, but no luck. I'm planning a trip to the international grocery store on Thursday and will pick some up there and hopefully get some tabouleh going.
Erin - I just noticed your post, sorry for not responding sooner! Your mention of falafels got me looking for recipes, and I found this pdf from
McDougall Made Irresistible that recommended using a mix, but all the mixes I've come across include oil, drat. The Vegan 8 has a good looking
Easy Vegan Baked Falafel recipe that uses potato for texture in place of oil (is there anything a potato can't do?!). That book you posted is one I came across in a health food store that really caught my attention, I should see if the library has a copy.
I bring up all this cooking because, well, this lifestyle really revolves around food choices, and also because of the saying "Flat stomachs are made in the kitchen." I just recently read that in the
amazing article about our very own Amy (aka amandamechele). If you haven't wandered over to the MWL support thread lately, Amy posted
her very own success story, and it is truly inspiring!
Aside from the falafel and tabouleh,
what else do you have on the menu this week? I have a batch of white bean soup in the fridge, and am planning on making sushi on Thursday for dinner, and getting together with my sisters on Saturday for a dumpling party. Since the weather is getting warmer, we're back to lots of veggies and hummus for snacks, and finally getting out and about for neighborhood walks.
Have a super week!
