VEGETARIAN COOKING THREAD VOL. LET THAT BOY COOK

Been a vegan for 3 years now, but I had a recent revelation about my diet. Most of us during the transition from meat in fact substitute and over abuse STARCH as a medium. Hence most of the pics in this thread. While there is nothing wrong with progression, I admitted to my self that it seemed very contradictory to consider myself a vegan when I consumed more bread than I did vegetables. Deeming me not a vegetarian but infact a STARCHATARIAN, a lifestyle which carries a heavy deficit on your health as well.
 
Yo I been thinking the same thing lately.


Whats the solution? I have to admit, soley eating vegetables feels like an incomplete meal to me. Is it a matter of chancing your perception?

I'm now progressing from starchs to subsitution of starch vegetables in their place. Ex. Squash, Zucchini, Red Potato. As well I'm slowly considering fruitarianism, increasing my volume of fruits has def been beneficial in exciting what can sometimes become bland. Don't want to jack the thread but after a long study into nutrition it seems as though fruit seems to be the intended food for human consumption. More power to the thread tho. When making the decision to become a vegetarian I was ideally thinking of RAW food, having to remind myself not to get stuck on meat substitutions and starches.

[h1]Skip the pie and enjoy a healthy dessert this Thanksgiving[/h1]by Christy Pooschke

(NaturalNews) Thanksgiving is a wonderful time for gathering with friends and family and reflecting upon all of the good things in life. Unfortunately, the holiday meal usually involves indulging in unhealthy fat-filled and carbohydrate-loaded foods that leave dinner guests feeling bloated, run-down and guilty. Avoid the misery this year by preparing a healthy dessert that tastes great and is simple to prepare. Skip the pumpkin pie, and impress your guests with this recipe for Pumpkin Pie Spice "Ice Cream" containing just frozen bananas, pumpkin pie spices and walnuts! This dessert is guilt-free and vegan; and every ingredient contributes to your health, so you can actually feel good about indulging in it!

HEALTH BENEFITS OF THIS RECIPE

Bananas
Bananas are loaded with potassium, which increases energy and protects against high blood pressure, atherosclerosis and stroke. Bananas also contain soluble fiber that helps maintain regular digestion.

Pumpkin Pie Spice
A typical commercial blend of pumpkin pie spice contains: cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cloves. All of these spices promote good health. Cinnamon helps regulate blood sugar, even in folks with type 2 diabetes. It also contains antioxidants, which contribute to cardiovascular health. Ginger has been shown to reduce inflammation and nausea, and it may also lower cholesterol. Nutmeg promotes sleep, and it actually kills cavity-causing bacteria in the mouth. Cloves can reduce heartburn, aid in digestion and ease toothache pain. Cloves also contain high levels of antioxidants to neutralize free radicals!

Walnuts
These wonderful nuts contain high concentrations of omega-3 fatty acids, which help improve blood flow and promote overall heart and bone health. Like many nuts, they also lower the risk of gallstones and help prevent weight gain.

PUMPKIN PIE SPICE "ICE CREAM" RECIPE
2 frozen bananas, chopped into 1-inch slices (peel and freeze at least one day in advance)
1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice*
1/4-1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Place the chopped bananas into a food processor, and process on high speed until a crumbly consistency is achieved. (Click here for my video demonstration: http://www.naturalnews.tv/v.asp?v=3....) Remove lid, scrape down the sides and sprinkle in the pumpkin pie spice. Process on high (scraping the sides, as needed) until the banana crumbles come together to form one large mass and the texture resembles ice cream. Transfer the mixture to bowls, sprinkle with nuts (optional) and enjoy! This recipe serves 1 to 2 guests.

*Pumpkin pie spice is a blend of spices that is available in most baking aisles. Be sure to read the ingredients list to verify that it contains no additives. Choose a brand that contains just "cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and cloves."
