I hadn't heard of them, but I bet the homemade ones are a lot better than ready made.

This recipe looked good if you want to give it a try.

Yes! So good!

The trick is to cook them juuuust to the point of not-mushy.

Any & everyone knows....it’s all about the fixings, right?

Put enough relish, onion, kraut, ketchup/mustard on liquid-smoked

anything...it will be good.  Add a mountain of oven baked fries...

ooooo-wee, good eatin’!

Switch 4 Good!

A new commercial showing the health, performance,

sustainability & ethics of removing dairy from an athlete’s life.

Testimonials, facts...ties into the new film ‘Game Changers.’

For those watching the Olympics closing Ceremonies,

did you see this commercial in your selected market?

Just checkin in!  No dairy except for the 2 pieces of 88% chocolate I usually have at night.....am I wrong? Ha!

I just got a carob bar and nutritional yeast from Amazon, and am waiting for some little soy curls.

I need to find a health food store in my little beach town.....I think there's one a few miles away, and need to check it out.

I'm doing well and getting my son to eat as much veg meals as possible....he's working a lot after school this week, so he wants me to make him hot and sour tofu soup on Friday.

YES!!!

Loved the Olympians talking about ditching the dairy (in addition to all other animal products) improving performance, especially the guy who said he breathes so much better now!  That has happened with me, and I hear it all the time from others who do the same.  

I'm still waiting for us to be able to see "The Game Changers"!

I did see a promo video of another film about WFPB vegan athletes that you can rent on Amazon, called "From the Ground Up".  Haven't seen it yet, but plan to.  The video I saw was an interview with the creator  (and director, I believe).

okay the chocolate bar has the certified vegan on the front.  Then on the back says produced on equipment that also processes products containing milk, peanuts, and other tree nuts.... Interesting.

I posted this in its own thread; but, I wanted to mention it here, too.  Perhaps some of you have already heard about it.  It's regarding the 9-part docu-series (called iThrive) that had episode 1 on Feb. 27th.

It was really good. It's a 9-part docu-series (online and free).

Some names featured in it: Ornish, Greger, Esselstyn, Barnard, Klaper, Chef AJ, Ocean Robbins, Fuhrman, etc.

The series is narrated by a person that is wanting/needing to lose 120 lbs. He, himself, has diabetes.

Honestly, part 1 was incredibly well done. Very informative.

It's worth checking out --- anyone suffering with diabetes or if you know someone who is. Even if you only check it out for 10 minutes!  (Again, it's free and online. If you google "iThrive"and diabetes/obesity, the info should come up.)

Hope this is helpful to someone!

Has anyone been able to access the second video in the IThrive diabetes and obesity series for free?

@phoenixbrd

I posted in the separate thread.  HTH

Had lunch with a friend at a salad place (the dearth of WFPB vegan options eating out here is another topic!!) and brought my own dressing - the Cindy's Kitchen Mango Coconut & Pepper one that you recommended.  

Just wanted to thank you for the rec because I just love it!

And my friend loves it now, too!
