Another great vegan recipe blog! I was looking for a vegan wonton recipe, since I discovered that the wonton wrappers I have always purchased had eggs in them. My search brought me to this blog. It has all kinds of great recipes but I especially liked the one for mini-lasagna cup appetizers. I am going to a wedding shower and bringing appetizers, hence the need for wontons.... follow me?

2 great vegan cookbooks
After re-watching Tackling Diabetes with Neal Barnard (see links in the Nutrition videos folder on the right) with my husband, I was inspired to find some new vegan cookbooks.
In the past while my family did not mind if I ate vegan, they did not necessarily want to. I have found that recently everyone is more willing to get on board especially if there is tasty food being made.
So I went to the library and ordered a bunch of cookbooks and I have found that these two are my favorites.
*The Sexy Vegan Cookbook: Extraordinary Food from an Ordinary Dude by Brain Patton
The recipes are very straight forward and ingredients are pretty easy to find. The chef does have a fascination with profanity so be forewarned.

*Chloe's Kitchen: 125 Easy, Delicious Recipes for Making the
Food You Love the Vegan Way by Chloe Coscarelli
Chloe's cookbook has tons of great pictures which is always a plus and her recipes are easy and also has mostly commonly found ingredients.
I have already made several of the recipes in these books and like them alot.

NETFLIX
I am one of the cheapest people when it comes to TV or movie viewing but I have to admit that I am a big fan of NETFLIX! For just $7.99 per month, we can watch great movies and tv series on the computer or through streaming player devices like Roku. At our house, we rarely watch regular network TV anymore.
I have added a list of good nutrition/food related videos available on NETFLIX.
I just watched Vegucated the other night and while I personally did not agree with all the issues covered in the film, I think it is very insightful and needs to be seen.
My list of NETFLIX films is on the right. Enjoy!

Now wheat is the bad guy!!!
Ok, I knew that all of the soy and corn that is hidden in processed foods was causing health problems but whole wheat? Dr. William Davis says that the protein in our genetically-modified wheat called Gliadin that stimulates our opiate-receptors in our gut, causing cravings and fat promotion. This concept is not only promoted by Dr. Davis. I watched a PBS show on eliminating 7 foods that also mentioned this problem.
Interesting and maybe worth trying an elimination diet of wheat products and see if you lose weight and feel better. Careful though since wheat is included in products that may not be obvious such as chewing gum.
Dr. Davis's website is http://www.wheatbellyblog.com/. You can also see him on Dr. Oz or at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWtsHTNhPa4.

Garcinia Cambogia

Look for supplements that have HCE at 50% or higher
500 - 1000 mg up to 3000 mg
Empty stomach 30 - 60 minutes before eating
Should be combined with Potassium or Calcium

Eat To Defeat Cancer
I watched Dr. William Li, founder of the Angiogenesis.org give a TEDtalk on Netflix. His presenation was on the process of angiogenesis (making of blood vessels) and how the ability of cancer cells to instigate huge amount of angiogenesis stimulating chemicals can be inhibited by eating certain foods. While Dr. Li's research focusing on many foods, he is especially intersted in targeting local, sustainable foods that would have the maximum benefit.
