I know it's been a while since I've blogged! My Southern Veg life has been in transition lately and I have found myself been pushed to give and do more for others. I've been volunteering and gave away huge bags of clothes and things I don't like and wear anymore. Why was I keeping that stuff anyway? At one point I was into this flower phase where I had flower glasses, bowls, and plates. As I was organizing my kitchen I looked at those things and thought, "What was I thinking"?
Needless to say, I promply gave them away :-).
Another thing that has been going on is that I've had to work within a tighter food budget. Lately my local Whole Foods has been carrying Nature's Burger in the bulk section (just add hot water and you got a meat free burger). Well, I found that if I put a vegetable boullion cube in the water and add frozen chopped spinach that has been sauteed in onion and garlic to the mix, it makes for a hearty burger. With the spinach I got a little more out of my burger mix and also beefed up the taste. I also do this with the Lightlife vegan sausage mix by adding things like mushrooms, carrots, and other veggies to add just a little something more to make things stretch. Just becuase you have to spend less doesn't mean food has to be taste-less:-). Take care of yourselves folks and if you have a great veg cooking budget idea, let me know!
