Oooh! I'm glad I found your site. I have a vegan friend that comes over frequently and you're giving me great ideas on what to serve.

Oh, thank you so much! The aspect about my vegan choices you might not be aware of... I am trying to follow the diet laid out by Dr. Caldwell Esselston, Jr., author of How to Prevent and Reduce Heart Disease. I am trying to reduce my cholesterol and my blood pressure.
ReplyDeleteDr. E's diet is not only vegan but also does not allow any soy milk, oil, nuts, seeds, nor oily foods it the diet (avacado, black olives, and others). So I often link to a recipe, but when I cook it I adjust out any oil. When I link to a recipe I adjust out any milk (substituting almond or rice milk), and I adjust out cooking oil ("sauteing" in water, or straight on my cookware surface). I also often cook recipes from the E2 diet, written by Dr. E's son, Rip. So those recipes sometimes include things his dad doesn't allow, but I go back and forth, knowing that Rip's recipes are also designed to lower BP and cholesterol.
Thanks for commenting.
