And what might these be? Veggie dogs! There are also veggie burgers, veggie deli meat, veggie turkey, veggie ground beef, veggie chicken pieces and the list goes on and on. From the looks of it, it seems that vegetarians have no problem replacing meat since there are so many options readily available for them. They can have some faux bacon for breakfast, followed by a mock salami sandwich for lunch, rounding things off with a chicken-less “chicken” stir fry for dinner. Oh, and don’t forget about soy pudding for dessert! How easy was that? By consuming these fake meat items, vegans and vegetarians can pick up right where they left off with the real stuff. Can you tell yet that I’m joking?]]> http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2011/09/10/smokin-veggie-pups-2/feed/ 0 http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2011/08/03/recipe-wild-rice-salad-summer-2/ http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2011/08/03/recipe-wild-rice-salad-summer-2/#comments Wed, 03 Aug 2011 10:00:33 +0000 admin http://meghantelpnerblog.com/?p=10691 Back in the day, before working and playing in this fine Kitchen, I used to work at an organic grocery store. I had loads of fun but apparently I was the only one who enjoyed that place because it went out of business shortly after I started working there (was it something I did?!)]]> http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2011/08/03/recipe-wild-rice-salad-summer-2/feed/ 7 http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2011/06/07/carob-its-not-cocoas-weird-cousin-2/ http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2011/06/07/carob-its-not-cocoas-weird-cousin-2/#comments Tue, 07 Jun 2011 10:00:11 +0000 admin http://meghantelpnerblog.com/?p=10250 Carob is a funny thing. I find that people either love it or hate it. I personally love it and find myself defending the poor thing a lot. Meghan is not such a fan of it and whenever I mention the stuff she gives me an "ew" look. I was introduced to carob really early on since my grandmother used to bake with it. Since chocolate kept her up at night, she used carob in its place in a lot of cakes and cookies. I don't think carob tastes like chocolate, but it is sweet and brown so I suppose it can stand in as chocolate when necessary. I prefer to think of carob as its own unique flavour. I can't really describe it -malty, molasses, sweet with a little bitterness at the same time. Something along those lines. I do appreciate that it is naturally sweet on its own and is so versatile. It can be added to smoothies, baked goods, and even savoury dishes to balance out the flavour and add a certain complexity.]]> http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2011/06/07/carob-its-not-cocoas-weird-cousin-2/feed/ 14 http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2010/06/11/podcast-crystal-healing-energy-medicine/ http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2010/06/11/podcast-crystal-healing-energy-medicine/#comments Fri, 11 Jun 2010 10:00:58 +0000 admin http://meghantelpnerblog.com/?p=5121 Episode: 7Title: Crystals Really Do More Than SparkleGuest: Elana Millman, Wellness Practitioner and Aromatherapy EducatorSummary: Elana Millman has made me float before. Okay- not really off the ground but I sure felt it. In this conversation, I ask Elana to explain how crystals can actually used for healing. Elana explains scientifically how they work, and even more, how they heal energetically. She is the real deal and these rocks truly are magic. ]]> http://meghantelpnerblog.com/2010/06/11/podcast-crystal-healing-energy-medicine/feed/ 4
