One last post and I’m all caught up for the day.  I borrowed a DVD from the library from Vegan-gal.com called “Change Your Food/Change Your Life” and I took advantage of my free morning to watch it.  It was superb and I highly recommend it!  You can buy it through the link above, or check to see if your library has it.

The first part is a lecture on healthy foods that power your body, followed by a segment of how to shop at the grocery store for healthy food, and it finishes with a few sample recipes.  If you think that going vegan is too hard, this DVD will help you get motivated and organized to make the transition easier.

Emma and I made a special trip to Burlingame today to visit a health food store up there.  I am searching high and low for Tofutti Better Than Sour Cream, but have not been able to find it anywhere.  The Tofutti website said that this particular store carried Tofutti products, but the BTSC is a product that has to be special ordered.  The search continues…

My trip wasn’t a total waste, though, because I found a cool little shop right next door to the health food store, Que SeRaw SeRaw.  I have to say that my past experience with raw food was not very pleasant, but I thought I would at least pop in to see what they had since I still had quite a bit of time left on my meter.  First of all, it smelled so good in there.  I don’t know what it was that smelled so good, but some yummy smell piqued my interest and I knew that I wasn’t leaving empty handed.  Emma and I decided on the Green Olive Pizza, which is a “crust” of walnuts, zucchini and flax seeds topped with cashew “cheese,” a green olive tapenade and organic tomato, cucumber and fennel.  Wowwee!  This was SO tasty!  The crust was almost cracker-like and the olives gave it such great flavor.  It is definitely worth the short drive to get this again and I will totally be trying to figure out how to make this at home.
