For some reason I still remember when I was learning to cook how daunting it was. I wanted to quit a few times after failures. If I can help others avoid cooking disasters that is a good thing. :-)<br /><br />Each day I am never quite certain what to write. When I start typing I think I have nothing to say and then the words pop into my head. Odd isn't it? *rolls eyes*<br /><br />enjoy your evening,<br />AliVegan Epicureanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08203676819322299569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-36147386945317762782010-12-17T19:34:27.791-05:002010-12-17T19:34:27.791-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Vegan Epicureanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08203676819322299569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-83794710342982036332010-12-17T19:34:27.366-05:002010-12-17T19:34:27.366-05:00Sarah,

Anyone can follow your recipes, and you are very open and honest and I admire that in a person!crunchyveganwifelifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06486855455879424793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-42898463244158940042010-12-17T16:05:15.381-05:002010-12-17T16:05:15.381-05:00I really enjoyed Ricki's post, too.

At the moment I am settled on moderation with the more unhealthy vegan foods, though that is a slippery slope.<br /><br />I read your blog for the recipes and for you! Even if we didn't interact in the comments or by email, your writing would still make me feel like I know you personally. Top notch vegan blog!! :)Sarah S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04757033974893707436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-85066852288944777642010-12-17T15:52:00.561-05:002010-12-17T15:52:00.561-05:00Hi Ali,

LOL<br /><br />You are a recipe collector like I am. I love to read recipes to get ideas. It is a blessing and curse. The curse are the cookbooks, binders and electronic files. I am sure you know what I mean. The blessing is a wide variety of dishes and tastes.<br /><br />I consider you a friend too. I love your blog for the exercise inspiration. When I don't feel like working out I think "What would Heather do/say". Even Dan now uses that phrase. You come up in our conversations often at the gym. Do your ears burn early in the morning? Just kidding. LOL<br /><br />big hugs,<br />AliVegan Epicureanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08203676819322299569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-2909109785385312032010-12-17T14:06:44.612-05:002010-12-17T14:06:44.612-05:00Jill,

That is something I try to do right away before I forget what I read. I seem to be a visual person so doing things makes them stick in my head if that makes any sense.<br /><br />One of the reasons my recipes are diverse is that I get bored quickly. Dan could eat the same thing every day. Example strawberry banana soft serve. I need to shake things up a little. I am making something with black beans tonight. Not sure what yet but the beans are cooking now. Maybe a black bean soup. Don't actually know yet. Nothing like planning right?<br /><br />stay warm in Buffalo,<br />AliVegan Epicureanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08203676819322299569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-23120742507195675342010-12-17T14:01:46.045-05:002010-12-17T14:01:46.045-05:00Ricki,

Your posts always make me smile and frequently they make me LOL.<br /><br />A good friend of mine told me to write the blog like I would talk to her. That is where "my writing style" came from. I try not to edit it but just let it flow. Sometimes that can be good or bad. ;-)<br /><br />I loved your post and wanted others to read it. I need to do something similar but don't have time at the moment. Maybe after Christmas I will. I think everyone needs to decide what is right for them given their situation. Like you and I have discussed it is odd how illness or disease in the end causes more healthy habits.<br /><br />Love the tide analogy, ;-)<br />AliVegan Epicureanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08203676819322299569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-57102841695758605792010-12-17T13:57:15.368-05:002010-12-17T13:57:15.368-05:00Lindsey,

I only need a little encouragement to go down that path. LOL<br /><br />I think you will love a Vitamix. I use mine every day frequently multiple times per day. Seriously I would be lost without it. Dan loves the strawberry banana soft serve. I know he will be curious to hear what you think. It may be his favorite food. <br /><br />Stay warm,<br />AliVegan Epicureanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08203676819322299569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-63404489555703744592010-12-17T13:36:42.008-05:002010-12-17T13:36:42.008-05:00Brrrrr....

Your personality shines through your posts, and I enjoy your writing. Thanks for mentioning the "Way I Eat" post, too. :D I loved your point that "it is very difficult to be healthy in an unhealthy world." How true! We are swimming against the tide on this one most of the time. . . though I think the tide is turning (to wear out the analogy!). ;)Rickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10152813989228518262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-40723639185995876552010-12-17T11:18:57.434-05:002010-12-17T11:18:57.434-05:00Hi!
