The recipes are all vegetarian. What that means is nothing that swims or walks. So no fish recipes, no chicken recipes, etc. No animal that died for us to eat it (remember "Thou Shall Not Kill"....) But we do use milk and eggs because the animal gives the products 'willingly'. This is where local comes in. Our eggs are from our happy chickens living in our backyard that happily provide us with eggs (not factory chickens living in abusive environments...) Our eggs are NOT fertilized, so we are not destroying life. Milk comes from a local dairy by Pt. Reyes, and also our friend down the road, and at times, our own goats. Happy Cows! ALWAYS WHOLE MILK so that you can digest it properly. Otherwise, the enzymes are removed. Do not buy any milk that is Ultra-pasturized.
We cook what is in season - that is why there are a lot of Apple recipes now in October, and not Asparagus recipes!! I go out to my garden/orchard, and gather ingredients. Then I decide what to make for dinner, not the other way around. We try not to import any veggies that have an oil footprint, so you won't get any recipes with banana or mangos on this blog, unless I can figure out how to grow them in Northern Sierra Foothills. Farmers market is okay!
How to get protein without meat??? Dairy is huge, eggs are great, and then the combination of rice and beans at meals. Truth is that most Americans are eating WAY TOO MUCH protein, hence the high instances of obesity, diabetes, and cancer.
No Microwave Cooking. No exceptions. Microwaves scatter the particles of the food, and take away all the prana (life force) from the food.
We feel light and full of energy on this diet, and guess what - the food is FANTASTICALLY YUMMY!!!!
