Hi, I’d be glad to try these foods. Thank you! For months now, been trying to eat less of meat and to my surprise, I’ve been losing some pounds, too. Which is good as I’m also trying to lose weight. Eating balanced and healthy food is the same as taking good care of the body. See this: http://products.mercola.com/toilet-bidet/;

I <3 the term semi-vegan! I hate when I get looked down upon because I consume a little humane cheese from a local farm or local raw honey!

Hi Brenna. I actually started making a list a long time ago and gave up because there are so many different wines and vintages and every year the packaging can change. But I’m actually about to write about a winery tonight… to be published tomorrow. Where do you live and what wine options are available to you?

Yum, that risotto looks delicious! I just realized how long it has been since I have had it and that recipe makes me want it even more. For the wine, I do wonder if there is a list somewhere that lets you know which are cork? That would be an interesting project. :)

I made the spinach and chickpeas too! I made it a few nights ago and ate the last of it tonight. I substituted lemon juice for vinegar, and it was delish. I’ll post my results maybe next week.

Hi Beth,

Thanks for the link to Mark Bittman’s recipes. I saw him making the bean burgers on a morning news show and was thinking I would like to try them. I’ve been checking in on your blog off and on since your first year, and you’ve inspired me to give up a lot of plastic. Good luck on returning to being vegetarian, and doing vegan days. I’ve been vegan for 4 years and struggle more with clothing choices than food (wool versus polyester or many layers of cotton?) I back slide on plastic the way you struggle with meat.

We tried the Spinach and Chickpeas tonight and it was a success. Not only did the 5 year old and 9 year old both like it, they did most of the cooking. I made the bread crumbs and just supervised the rest. We used canned beans from a BPA-free can, farmer’s market spinach and garlic. The oil and the vinegar had small amounts of plastic in the lids. When my back is healed enough to carry pots full of water, we can try it again with dried beans from the bulk bin.

That looks really yummy!

I’ve never made risotto, but I think I may just have to try this.
