I agree with you my own food is so healt...Possum, <br /><br />I agree with you my own food is so healthy the two-bite test really isn't an issue. However with other people's food I pretty much know it probably isn't as healthy as I would like even when it is vegan. Since I won't eat TVP, soy protein isolates or fake dairy a lot of vegan is out right away for me. Unless it is fantastic I try to pass on most things. <br /><br />Wow, a one hour bike ride that is impressive. As soon as I perfect the breakfast bar I will share the recipe. I think it will take me a few more attempts. But hopefully it won't be too far off.<br /><br />enjoy the rest of your evening,<br />AliVegan Epicureanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08203676819322299569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-910854801599731692012-01-29T22:39:43.221-05:002012-01-29T22:39:43.221-05:00Mmm...I can't wait for the recipe for the brea...Mmm...I can't wait for the recipe for the breakfast bar. I bike to work some days and need grab and go type of food before the hour long bike ride! <br /><br />I like the 2-bite test idea, especially when it is other people's food. As I have been an ethical veg person for many years and only in the last 3 years have I gotten into healthier fare, I have always found it easy to avoid my old favourites like candy because my ethics override my craving. I always think "ew I do not want to eat bone char sugar". Instead, I have found my own tasty items or indulgences that are actually pretty darn healthy - ie. homemade fruit smoothie or sprouted buckwheat, oil-free granola. I never like to waste my time or appetite of sub par food either.Nadinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03587228270481644529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-3382151166671035702012-01-29T13:09:56.055-05:002012-01-29T13:09:56.055-05:00Laura,

As you can tell I have not had time to measure or write things down lately. ;-)<br /><br />Excellent leftover use for the walnut sriracha sauce. It does sound like you are starting to wing things together like me. :-) I hope your hubby thinks that is a good thing. <br /><br />Finalizing the healthier chocolate mousse is something Dan won't let me forget LOL. At the moment I don't have time to work on it. You probably don't see a difference when you read but the entire month of January has been taking much more time to write than normal. I used to spend maybe 2 hours on a post and now it is more like 5 hours. That doesn't leave much time for writing recipes since I also have other things that I must get done. Once January is over I will have more time in the kitchen. ;-)<br /><br />talk with you later,<br />AliVegan Epicureanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08203676819322299569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-33311920760151233562012-01-29T12:50:26.024-05:002012-01-29T12:50:26.024-05:00The 2-bite test is a great idea. Your Vitamix soup...The 2-bite test is a great idea. Your Vitamix soup sounds pretty good...how long did you blend it? After using your walnut-sriracha sauce over veggies last week, I blended the leftover sauce into a red lentil soup and it added great flavor and texture. I'm much more confident these days in cooking "like you do" and I love that!<br /><br />Your breakfast bars reminded me of something--that you promised a healthier chocolate mousse recipe awhile back!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12379691796502650236noreply@blogger.com
