Welcome

Hello!  I am Sandi and my daughter is Rach.  Rach is attending college in September to take a course on being a vet tech.  She's always had a true love for animals and has always believed in vegetarianism.  About 2 years ago Rach talked me into exploring a vegetarian lifestyle with her.  We read Jonathan Saffron's book Eating Animals, which confirmed we had made the right decision.  It is the worst horror story ever written, but will open your eyes to what we are doing our bodies, our planet and the animals themselves. 

It wasn't that long ago that I said to a vegan friend (love you Suz) that I would never become a vegetarian.  Here I am 2 years later and have never eaten better.  Once you remove the stereotype of working the meal around "the meat", it's amazing what you can come up with.

Rach and I have been experimenting and exploring our more adventurous side in the kitchen.  We've learned how to use the stronger spices such as curry and cumin.  We've learned how amazing the use of jalapenos can be.   Our recipes are on the spicier side, but all recipes can have the heat adjusted to whatever your tolerance is. This is a way of eating Rach never would have considered a few years ago.  Now she totally loves the favour of experimenting with spices that have some fire to them. 

I developed Celiac Disease when I was pregnant with Rach, so all recipes are gluten-free.  I will make notes on where I have bought certain things to make it easier to find them. If you have any questions on Celiac Disease or gluten-free eating, please feel free to post a comment. 

We hope you enjoy our recipes.  Stay tuned for our first post.  We're very excited to share our love of vegetarian gluten-free food with you.
