| Roasted vegetables recipe |
- Roasted vegetables are one of my favourite meals, period. We can polish off a whole pan of our favourites veggies (carrots, potatoes, Brussels sprouts, sweet potatoes, onions and garlic), but you can choose your favourites instead.
- Steven and Chris: recipes for vegetarian delights
Try a vegan squash soup that doubles as Pad Thai sauce, or a chocolate tofu pudding that has way more ingredients than my simple recipe (but dried cherries? Probably tastes better too). Recipes are by Celebrity Chef Jonathan Chovancek.
- Martha Stewart and Biz Stone cook up some vegan seitan bouguignon
How freakin’ cute is Biz Stone? As one of Twitter's co-founders, I've read plenty about him, but have never seen him speak. Turns out he's endearing and super-sweet. Possibly because he listens to his wife. In other Martha Stewart news though, she's featuring vegetarian and vegan recipes all over her network of websites and magazines: she's got quick vegetarian dinners on her Food homepage and a video "How to make tofu taste good" on her Whole Living homepage. Martha's keeping up with the times. And I'm glad to have her on board!

| Butter beans with tomatoes |
- Vegan Creole Recipes from the VRG
I’m including these veganized Creole recipes partially because I want to remember to try them. We 've tried out hand at meatless gumbo a few times, with limited success. There’s no gumbo here, but there are butter beans, greens in peanut sauce and pralines. Yum.
News and "not-quite" news
Apparently the spring weather is making news reporter fancies turn to...cows.
- Sensational story! Cloned cows make human milk
Hooray for the CBC who actually did some reporting, unlike other outlets that covered this story. However, the headline should read “Cloned cows produce one breastmilk protein”. I thought humans already did that - and then some. Scientists always think they can replicate what nature evolved to create, but we never quite measure up. Taking fibre is not the same as eating whole grains, and making breastmilk proteins is not the same as making breastmilk. Fail.
- Here’s a shocker: meat is expensive! (Globe and Mail)Prices for nearly all kinds of red meat have risen 40 per cent in the last year. Cut out the middle cow and eat vegetables instead!
- ...and in related news, eating broccoli can ward off cancer (also Globe and Mail)
One of my university professors told my class that, to avoid the carcinogens (cancer-causing substances) in barbequed meat, always eat it with broccoli.

| Yogurt with flaxseed |
- How do I get omega-3 fats without eating fish? Plenty of ways, sans gelatin (Leslie Beck's Globe and Mail column)
Put on your flax hat or try other ways to get your vegan omega-3’s, compiled in my Suite101 article.
