The one on the left is 15yo, the one on the right is 16. <br />This is a pic of them at the hospital we volunteer at every Tuesday. <br />They sometimes balk at the few hours per week I require them to donate their time, but after 2+ years, they are still going in, doing their job, helping others. Sometimes one of them slips and says, "I kinda look forward to Tuesdays." Then catch themselves and rush back into teen-mode. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitZLMgEhOL2n_pkun59hedbOksU5Pf6GHg9T2TYB_r5i1YVcZxyBnTNfhmD9KosMiyv1moln7GWg2OL7Hm1VEaalgY_3WOvHtDqsmejslcwHZl1ULT-AXs33EdQ2FZfd_HzM0k1Xeo2ujL/s1600-h/mms_picture-763439.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitZLMgEhOL2n_pkun59hedbOksU5Pf6GHg9T2TYB_r5i1YVcZxyBnTNfhmD9KosMiyv1moln7GWg2OL7Hm1VEaalgY_3WOvHtDqsmejslcwHZl1ULT-AXs33EdQ2FZfd_HzM0k1Xeo2ujL/s320/mms_picture-763439.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5445211681244967010" /></a><br />I know they do a good job, because everyone has nice, positive things to say about them.

I make mine with spinach, mushrooms, green onions, roasted garlic, sauted in some sesame oil, rice wine vinegar, soy sauce or teryaki sauce. When the spinach is wilted, I add about 4 cups of water mixed with about 3 tablespoons of miso paste (I prefer light yellow, or mellow white). I let that simmer for a few minutes, then add some cubed tofu. Yum!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP0chd2aOe4n84bHBMRRIZFC-9lEoIzz7J3DITtB0qpDvwCfPHCHwHfSVL0jgWKeaynrK4wPkeAiSyDDAB_2Exp0xIoKjbXXn1RkwQVvxuGMjc4wRANRoF9mTo66zUQDT6OlRMioMjRreW/s1600-h/Christmas09+023.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP0chd2aOe4n84bHBMRRIZFC-9lEoIzz7J3DITtB0qpDvwCfPHCHwHfSVL0jgWKeaynrK4wPkeAiSyDDAB_2Exp0xIoKjbXXn1RkwQVvxuGMjc4wRANRoF9mTo66zUQDT6OlRMioMjRreW/s320/Christmas09+023.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5430008267868840306" /></a>Vita-VEGAN-Vegaminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12430029759440579004noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6056856599467309383.post-19189949511793475792010-01-23T10:31:00.000-08:002010-01-23T10:41:51.621-08:00Wow, it's been a while!I am such a blog slacker.

He's soooooo excited that he liked these and he now can have GCC a little more often.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGA3TIXc2nd1Fwz1GWdo-av50oJ534_-vgx5zpGWjn70YoVDu1Jj7xrshIA8PM3awF0YyzVcVtxBeLtfNOkdShlB72B4KKn_klEbFtB0wWj5HPnBY_XVs9U25H5zjWhKmS612VI9c2TIDF/s1600-h/Mar09+047.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGA3TIXc2nd1Fwz1GWdo-av50oJ534_-vgx5zpGWjn70YoVDu1Jj7xrshIA8PM3awF0YyzVcVtxBeLtfNOkdShlB72B4KKn_klEbFtB0wWj5HPnBY_XVs9U25H5zjWhKmS612VI9c2TIDF/s320/Mar09+047.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5313163795354006098" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhhEKqpUD_fCmQcyblu_bEBv9Ntk4UG7TvFK3KHBpt2-pQUdrwJle03I7plpxAIylc0nyYYuiW7axM9XRxcqy9pLQUbg8Prk6yBe2t4LUzqXbsKnqUFOkAswuLBjhozoDs5tai2nDVKT3M/s1600-h/Mar09+044.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhhEKqpUD_fCmQcyblu_bEBv9Ntk4UG7TvFK3KHBpt2-pQUdrwJle03I7plpxAIylc0nyYYuiW7axM9XRxcqy9pLQUbg8Prk6yBe2t4LUzqXbsKnqUFOkAswuLBjhozoDs5tai2nDVKT3M/s320/Mar09+044.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5313163786667406594" /></a>Vita-VEGAN-Vegaminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12430029759440579004noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6056856599467309383.post-35561830739713410762009-03-13T11:16:00.000-07:002009-03-13T11:38:15.999-07:00CCK's Better-n-Rice Pudding/Snickerdoodle Oatmeal<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiG6srDomY8djr1DoUwbGT-jXyA8TB_EW8JMVIew_tbEHHSEOQ1ev-CudF2MxRH2N5WzCJt34Qid4XiL7xop5T_rg_mSvhQQGLQAzpUwqRy2tgiOQcjbXqnxUbgDOULV119d7csDoUW3-yn/s1600-h/jocalat.bmp"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 118px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiG6srDomY8djr1DoUwbGT-jXyA8TB_EW8JMVIew_tbEHHSEOQ1ev-CudF2MxRH2N5WzCJt34Qid4XiL7xop5T_rg_mSvhQQGLQAzpUwqRy2tgiOQcjbXqnxUbgDOULV119d7csDoUW3-yn/s320/jocalat.bmp" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5312738966274636306" /></a><br /><br />For my next entry in CCK's Jocalat give-away, I have made this tasty Pudding/Oatmeal.<br />I'm going to try it as-is, but will probably have to add the customary dollop of almond butter as well.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaI4eOnfWISFc4_8iFuk97QsyHByNBLL144U8plwQpMDkWSIv44yroL7UmA8MU38vZxKjxyeoUO6k8ehyphenhypheny3gtBWyiPt9tofnpyTxbWd8Frbn9rluH9q7F98kh1uRgkVMWEo4u2RPLd2BCJ/s1600-h/Mar09+041.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaI4eOnfWISFc4_8iFuk97QsyHByNBLL144U8plwQpMDkWSIv44yroL7UmA8MU38vZxKjxyeoUO6k8ehyphenhypheny3gtBWyiPt9tofnpyTxbWd8Frbn9rluH9q7F98kh1uRgkVMWEo4u2RPLd2BCJ/s320/Mar09+041.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5312742726147487874" /></a>Vita-VEGAN-Vegaminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12430029759440579004noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6056856599467309383.post-78698088443320810902009-03-13T10:27:00.000-07:002009-03-19T12:58:44.067-07:00Chocolate Covered Katie (formerly CCV)................<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4AsVZz1dvaKtYDA4O0oz3dMW-MSHVdltVeubGKAqj25JkxW41KC2OSIXasFUr6wdPi0n99RgakV9JVEGujvYUSF0QEQA1pZIbvl0B4auTnSSJ9E2rIx_QX6PnM7pxu9D6ISGisrm8xGFd/s1600-h/jocalat.bmp"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 118px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4AsVZz1dvaKtYDA4O0oz3dMW-MSHVdltVeubGKAqj25JkxW41KC2OSIXasFUr6wdPi0n99RgakV9JVEGujvYUSF0QEQA1pZIbvl0B4auTnSSJ9E2rIx_QX6PnM7pxu9D6ISGisrm8xGFd/s320/jocalat.bmp" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5312726572325403746" /></a><br />is having a give-away....... a case of LaraBars!<br /><br />Here are her contest rules (copied from her blog):<br /><br /><em>There are two ways to enter your name into the drawing:<br /><br />1. Mention the giveaway on your own blog, with a link back to this post. Then leave me a comment on this post to let me know you’ve done so, and I’ll enter your name into the drawing. If you don’t have a blog, just leave me a comment on this post saying you don’t have a blog but would still like to be entered into the drawing.<br /><br />2. I wanted to do something to celebrate the fact that—finally—my recipes are all in order (a big feat for a scatterbrain like me). So… if you make a CCV recipe and blog about it, then leave me a comment telling me you did so, your name will go into the drawing THREE more times! <br /><br />Entries must be in by March 19th. I’ll pick a random winner and announce it April 2nd. The contest is open to ALL readers, all over the world (as long as you have an address to which I can ship the box). I’d never want to leave out my foreign friends!! <br /><br />Good luck, and happy chocolate-ing!<br /><br /></em><br /><br />So hurry and enter <a href="http://chocolatecoveredkatie.wordpress.com/2009/02/26/so-what-about-this-chocolate-giveaway/">HERE</a>Vita-VEGAN-Vegaminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12430029759440579004noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6056856599467309383.post-34103271029841562632009-03-12T20:34:00.000-07:002009-03-13T10:26:56.001-07:00Happy Anniversary to Me!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2iYmIBOov3RT5Cv3fO1zescB08nmLbQmPq8S48MMLLyiYbd1LsI57RLltigB7DKFF67DFgi0lpSjvtskIqIe23TRlVN0Hyj7YJKAGULYzkOhyphenhyphenaChSpYVqt3Yl22_BZUzyL46h0qpdQ3Sw/s1600-h/Mar09.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2iYmIBOov3RT5Cv3fO1zescB08nmLbQmPq8S48MMLLyiYbd1LsI57RLltigB7DKFF67DFgi0lpSjvtskIqIe23TRlVN0Hyj7YJKAGULYzkOhyphenhyphenaChSpYVqt3Yl22_BZUzyL46h0qpdQ3Sw/s320/Mar09.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5312724565983641410" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOnHDfnAsR3ePItP8-rmFGCR1-NoR_kzSRg4LjwL6vBGCtHgIiDz3HKZZKO7WobPwpLFD80Ehx0I1UoZ9yGN4Gc7mAARzar38LLtTvjnsjlP2WyuzRLamWKwM8IJ0BfDIf4fFKXAZzuO1R/s1600-h/Mar09+040.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOnHDfnAsR3ePItP8-rmFGCR1-NoR_kzSRg4LjwL6vBGCtHgIiDz3HKZZKO7WobPwpLFD80Ehx0I1UoZ9yGN4Gc7mAARzar38LLtTvjnsjlP2WyuzRLamWKwM8IJ0BfDIf4fFKXAZzuO1R/s320/Mar09+040.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5312516865348315906" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmRytTx8FDRqeDgFMUuimhKMpGX9zV-1jWXAmzQOcbqbAInCQ5ZndCM4lR5A86fnlfTj8BPN57hPKaGK8nikBuAS0yy8aszkzJLZf6Id3ye8VaKWFW5WMWdYdrd2M-6mRrYma-sKsUozwQ/s1600-h/Mar09+036.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmRytTx8FDRqeDgFMUuimhKMpGX9zV-1jWXAmzQOcbqbAInCQ5ZndCM4lR5A86fnlfTj8BPN57hPKaGK8nikBuAS0yy8aszkzJLZf6Id3ye8VaKWFW5WMWdYdrd2M-6mRrYma-sKsUozwQ/s320/Mar09+036.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5312511892292973522" /></a><br /><br />I'm so excited about my anniversary gift! So far I've made fruit smoothies, that everyone drank (this is HUGE as my 14yo son isn't big on fruits and veggies and my hubby is even worse), and mango ice cream and strawberry ice cream. No pics though, we wolfed it down to quickly.<br /><br />I can't wait to try the tortilla soup tomorrow. Oh, and a nut butter or two. <br /><br /><br /><br />This is going to be such a great gadget to have come next month. I asked my kids what they wanted to do in honor of Earth Day next month, and after much deliberation they decided to go vegetarian for the whole month. Currently they are meat-free for the first 2 meals of the day, but then the boys will eat meat with hubby for dinner (dd isn't a big meat anyway). Yay!!<br /><br />*************************************************************************************<br />I had to edit to add a pic of the lovely plant hubby gave me as well.

They were filled with leftover stir-fry (broccoli, carrots, water chestnuts, spinach, garlic, onions, ginger), and dipped in Garlic Teriyaki/Soy Sauce. I'll probably be making these daily for the rest of this week.Vita-VEGAN-Vegaminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12430029759440579004noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6056856599467309383.post-58788249013210248902009-01-16T15:19:00.001-08:002009-01-16T15:19:26.256-08:00My Review of 'Bob' 5-in-1 Wobble Clock<div class="hreview"><div class="item"><p><a href="http://www.brookstone.com//shop/product.asp?product_code=575878">Originally submitted at Brookstone</a></p><div><img style="margin: 0 0.5em 0 0" align="left" class="photo" src="http://images.powerreviews.com/images_products/02/28/1287798_100.jpg"><p style="margin-top:0"><b>Give it a push.

This is so tasty. I found the recipe at <a href="http://happyherbivore.com/2009/01/spicy-chickpea-spread/">Happy Herbivore</a> I didn't have any spicy dijon mustard, so I used yellow. Also I'm not a big fan of cumin so I just added a dash instead of 1/4 teaspoon. I loved it! Not only is it a good sandwich in and of itself, I think it would make a great spread for a veggie sandwich, too.Vita-VEGAN-Vegaminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12430029759440579004noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6056856599467309383.post-89770714902116547522009-01-12T12:40:00.000-08:002009-01-12T12:46:58.198-08:00Broccoli Potato Soup<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjimqgVXsuquWt-ctRKdF3HEErGRlGns0nytHFUNAm9E-MfeO31e6rLGy-5_JqvoB9w3T3AjcUrlhwkbkEM3FXBM-rE4Rj3B2DfKRiXqDLn6A9P5xkpTHAO81I0lxQQ-86vY4rvuROs9Z-W/s1600-h/Jan09+004.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjimqgVXsuquWt-ctRKdF3HEErGRlGns0nytHFUNAm9E-MfeO31e6rLGy-5_JqvoB9w3T3AjcUrlhwkbkEM3FXBM-rE4Rj3B2DfKRiXqDLn6A9P5xkpTHAO81I0lxQQ-86vY4rvuROs9Z-W/s320/Jan09+004.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290511303423171602" /></a><br />Found this recipe at <a href="http://vegandad.blogspot.com/2009/01/cream-of-potato-and-broccoli-soup.html">VeganDad</a> .

I'm posting a pic of a few of my "tinys". (the cd and big spoon are just for size reference).<br /><br />My other weird food thing, is that get a craving for something and eat it for days and days (as long as 2 weeks sometimes).Vita-VEGAN-Vegaminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12430029759440579004noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6056856599467309383.post-2841289820366143422008-11-18T20:35:00.000-08:002008-11-18T20:38:16.524-08:00Again with the Sprouts!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGu-xhsyHYzw51JZ06KmZ7JKLP3hrRzlzDi6pFaXYL90LX3Ki8yz4WagoVRtxogCyYIdeY-Xx2mWPz-kc2ErKeDXDIRd7gri6MTalLanK8NMNvmnn_CjDygiksQ4_1hzYbUed2bwOzXr_X/s1600-h/Food+001.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGu-xhsyHYzw51JZ06KmZ7JKLP3hrRzlzDi6pFaXYL90LX3Ki8yz4WagoVRtxogCyYIdeY-Xx2mWPz-kc2ErKeDXDIRd7gri6MTalLanK8NMNvmnn_CjDygiksQ4_1hzYbUed2bwOzXr_X/s320/Food+001.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5270223238619499922" /></a><br />I can't get enough of brussel sprouts.
