FOOD ETC

Food is one of my and my husbands passions.
Some of you may know that our family has dabbled in all kinds of food adventures. What I mean is, during our 20+ year stint together, we have spent several years on a "junk-food" diet, several years as meat-eaterians, another couple of years as Lacto-ovo-Vegetarians, some more years as Vegans and, add to that another year of our family eating gluten-free and you can see that we have covered a lot of different foods and diets.
Most recently I've been eating mostly vegetarian and the rest of the family more of an omnivores diet, where 90% of the meat comes from Elk, Deer and Cows, all grass fed, and hunted or taken down by my husband and son.

Both my husband and I love to cook and experiment with new recipes and cooking delicuous food. We also brew our own beer and have succesfully created some of our own beer recipes, we've also dabbled in mead making and wine making. So anything that we put in our mouths we are quite passionate about. One of our favorite family activities is to cook or bake together and if we have no plans for the weekend, you can without fail, find all of us in the kitchen together.

One of the new directions my food-adventures is taking me is into a lacto-free world. I just discovered that I'm allergic to milk and pretty much all milk-products, so once again our family food adventures is taking another turn! After some deliberation and looking inside my heart and brain, I realize that I will once again embark on a Vegan diet - which fits both my spiritual convictions(eat no meat) and my physical body(drink no milk) - seems like a no-brainer to me. I must admit that my husband is a little bit worried, he has become quite dependent on his ham and eggs in the morning, and is currently under the conviction that unless you eat meat occasionaly you have a very hard time being a stable person... so hopefully after a few months with me on my new food adventure he will change his mind... :) Only time will tell.
It also looks like the girls will join me... but we will know for sure after Troy cooks his favorite cookies wether or not they truly have the desire to, or not. Of course if I bake some more Vegan cookies, that may level the playing field.
If any of you have any great Vegan recipes or ideas feel free to share...
Hejdå till nästa gång,
