I know there are all kinds of reasons not to consume cow's milk. I've embraced a vegan diet. I drink soy milk, rice milk and almond milk these days. Even though we were drinking fat-free milk in our house prior to this vegan thing, I understand that cow's milk may not be healthful. Not to mention the horrors of the dairy industry.
But nothing beats a tall glass of real milk to go with warm chocolate chip cookies straight out of the oven.
I simply cannot drink a glass of soy milk. I can put it over my cereal and it's an ingredient in many of the meals Jane prepares. But I cannot drink a plain glass of soy milk, or even almond milk. The rice milk is sort of like Horchada (a mexican rice milk concoction that's sweetened and there's a bit of cinnamon too), but unless it's doctored...
I miss cow's milk.

Ack! The Flu!!!So I had the flu, or something like it. It's ironic, because they're offering the flu shot at my office this week. Alas, it's a little too late for me. So, here is my tale of woe. I dropped Jane off at the airport on Friday night. She was...
Daring Bakers January Challenge -- Lemon Meringue Pie (Vegan Style)Hi everyone, it's Jane posting today. I'm a Daring Baker, and today is our day to post on the January challenge. This month's Daring Bakers challenge was Lemon Meringue Pie. I have to admit, I was rather downhearted when I found out what we would...
Woo Hoo - I've Lost 14 PoundsThat's 14 pounds, gone without really trying.Sometime in June Jane, my wife, decided we were going vegan. Since we're not billionaires, we decided that we'd finish off all the animal product in the house first. We also had a trip planned for the...
Vegan Chicken Sonoma Salad - Whole FoodsJane and I were at our local Whole Foods today. We thought it might be a little less crowded this week because people are still away for the holidays. It certainly wasn't as insane as the last time we went, but it's still busy. I must say, their...
Another Reason Not to Eat MeatLet me preface this article by saying that Jane and I became vegans for health reasons. Over the course of learning about the benefits of a vegan diet, we've read literature on factory farming. And, as with most people, the more we read, the more...
Hello, I really enjoyed reading your blog. I made this blog below for my daughter and was hoping it would be successful in helping start a kind of vegan chat.

Hi Blase,
thanks for the comments. I like your daughter’s blog too. A vegan chat sounds like a great idea.

I am the opposite. I have been drinking soy chocolate milk plain but have to have regular milk on my cereal. I haven’t missed much meat but I was sick over the weekend and really wanted my chicken noodle soup

Hi ChrissyJo,
You know, I love the soy chocolate milk too. And the Silk Coffee flavored soymilk is pretty tasty, but those are snacks for me and I try to limit them.
As for the chicken soup, we haven’t tried this yet, but Jane bought Vegetarian Chicken Broth (Health Best) at Whole Foods, it’s a vegan product. She was talking about making that with some chicken seitan and veggies as a vegan alternative to chicken soup. I’ll let you know
That sounds good! The hardest part of this diet I’m finding is getting the time to go to two grocery stores – I can barely get to one! Guess I should start stocking up and buying in bulk.
