We had a bunch of fresh spinach we needed to use, so I thought a big salad would be good. I made a very slightly tweaked version of the tempeh bacon (added a little maple syrup to the marinade) from Vegan with a Vengeance and put that together with the spinach and some shredded carrot. For the dressing I combined 1/2 tsp. dried mustard, 1/4 tsp. salt, a little fresh ground pepper, 1 clove garlic, crushed and finely minced, 1/4 c. olive oil, 1 Tbs. balsamic vinegar, and 1 Tbs. orange champagne vinegar. You could whisk this all together in a bowl, or do what I did and put it in a container with a tight-fitting lid and shake it like crazy.The salad was pretty filling, but we also made some lentil soup kind of like the basic recipe we already posted.

Hi Chris and Darlene! I really enjoy your blog. You're so creative!! You've definitely proven your point-vegans don't eat air, they eat yummy stuff.
I have a one year old son. He had a check up yesterday and my husband told the nurse he (our son) is a vegetarian. The nurse smiled and said (no joke) "that's fine, just make sure he eats chicken and fish for protein". How can someone in the medical profession be so ignorant? At least our doctor is supportive!
That's classic. It's a shame medical professionals aren't required to know more about nutrition.
I think your blog is great and I love reading it. Thanks for your work on it and Happy New Year!
Thanks! We're glad people are enjoying it!
