So I'll just say that your book has been a God send! My son, who is now on a restricted no dairy diet (for natural treatment of ADHD, ruling out food allergies, etc.), can actually still eat half way "normal" foods. I had purchased your cookbook "Cooking the Wholefoods Way" (newer edition) a few months ago after becoming addicted to your show on Create. When will it be back!? Anyway, anyway... Having all of this come up was a challenge, but your book has made the transition so much easier. I don't think we'll ever be vegans, lol... I LOVE meat, and the rest of my family does, too. But the little things, like your blueberry muffin recipe, which I just made tonight (only I made mini muffins because we love them tiny), and sprinkling them with cinnamon after baking rather than sugar before baking (MY idea, which I thought was pretty clever, and makes them taste that much better!)... I lost my train of thought with that horribly fragmented sentence. Sorry about that, but I'm sure you get the point. My son keeps grabbing them and saying, "They're too good! They're too good!" I tell him to stop eating them because we need to have supper and he says, "I can't stop eating them! They're too good!" LoL. And I'm thinking that they're probably healthy enough to be supper, so I think I'll just let him enjoy his thrill.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I'm sorry this comment was so long. I just can't tell you how grateful I am to you for your work and for your book. It has meant so much to our family.<BR/><BR/>Take care,<BR/>KathyKathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06117986141190716043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9218676778359797868.post-30336123446978111522008-10-24T13:07:00.000-07:002008-10-24T13:07:00.000-07:00I also love to cook, although usually I am just do...I also love to cook, although usually I am just doing what I can to get a meal on the table. When I do get a chance to truly COOK, I definitely go all the way. What's better than something you like the way you like it prepared? <BR/>Thank you for this take on things, it's so true. So often you can find yourself going on and on over something you love and the other person has that "blank stare", not just in cooking, but in anything.<BR/>ShellieCarolina Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17863819639629563534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9218676778359797868.post-27421408696158695972008-10-23T11:53:00.000-07:002008-10-23T11:53:00.000-07:00Hi Christina -- You are an inspiration to us to co...Hi Christina -- <BR/><BR/>You are an inspiration to us to come up higher in our kitchens, and wisely spending our hard-earned dollars on quality ingredients to enhance our health. There must be millions of Americans raised on processed food, convenience foods and fast food most of their lives. To be introduced to a freshly prepared vegan diet must be daunting to them! Even though I am in the process of changing over my diet, it is difficult in social situations and with family and friends. I can't wait for Thanksgiving to see the family reaction to my homemade tofurky!<BR/><BR/>You are a culinary jewel and a delight! Keep up the good work!!!<BR/>- Christeachristeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08048662283823312672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9218676778359797868.post-60457607514275909522008-10-22T13:32:00.000-07:002008-10-22T13:32:00.000-07:00Hi Christina!I think there are many many people wh...Hi Christina!<BR/>I think there are many many people who love to cook and feel the passion that you do. What is tough for us is maintaining that 7 days a week. Everyone leads such busy, busy lives that after a 10 hour day (work & commuting, or whatever) the last thing we are thinking about is the slicing and dicing and then the clean-up. I can maintain that passon maybe a few days out of the week but it is downright exhausting every day. The bad part of this is on the days that my energy is low, I really need good home cooking -- fresh, nutritious and of course, vegetarian. Reading your cookbooks and watching your show and now your blog definitely keeps me inspired. Please keep up the tremendous work you do!<BR/>-PaulaUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02983184250052793724noreply@blogger.com
