However, my goal is to make it as quickly and easily as possible. We will see how easy that is. ;-) But that is the plan now.<br /><br />AliciaVegan Epicureanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08203676819322299569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-34522031889855752742010-04-26T19:15:05.217-04:002010-04-26T19:15:05.217-04:00Oh, yes, I hate gritty food, too!

The benefits are wonderful, as you well know, but you really have to plan to prepare the food. As usual, your dish looks delicious.blessedmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09281648597707759434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-23206462111718653472010-04-26T15:57:22.970-04:002010-04-26T15:57:22.970-04:00Sarah,

In the past I would make what I called "frizzled leeks" (which were fried and crispy) and would use those to garnish dishes and add textural variation. This is my healthy verion of that unhealthy garnish.<br /><br />AliciaVegan Epicureanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08203676819322299569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-75948110703619709152010-04-26T14:39:21.843-04:002010-04-26T14:39:21.843-04:00This looks scrumptious!!!!

I also like the crispy texture on soft food like soup or salads. This is definitely something that I am going to be doing regularly so we always have them on hand. I think of this as healthy "fried onions", which I used to top many things with in my unhealthy days.<br /><br />AliVegan Epicureanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08203676819322299569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-10667032685191433892010-04-26T12:58:18.333-04:002010-04-26T12:58:18.333-04:00This sounds good; I love leeks.This sounds good; I love leeks.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02114977921830686539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-73721225363297896722010-04-26T12:50:20.098-04:002010-04-26T12:50:20.098-04:00LJ,

Kale and I still have a love/hate relationship. ;-)<br /><br />Yay, you ordered the Vitamix. I can't wait to see what you make when it arrives. The cookbook is very good that comes with it. I spent days reading each recipe, some more than once.<br /><br />I hope you aren't having too much bad weather in Miami today.<br /><br />hugs,<br />AliciaVegan Epicureanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08203676819322299569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-41770546064459944622010-04-26T12:43:13.695-04:002010-04-26T12:43:13.695-04:00Mmmmm, I love that those foods on the list are som...Mmmmm, I love that those foods on the list are some of my favorites!
