I have been majorly neglectful of the blog. Mainly because I don't have time to manage one and I really should be writing my Religion midterm right now. But I'll let that wait.
Now that I'm back into mainstream technology for the fall (my home doesn't provide the most conducive setting for connecting to the internet but college does!) I might try to update more often. Or I might fail at that as always.
Living in a dorm has its charms. A few of them, at least. Convenient laundry, internet...ok that's all I can come up with for now. I actually am not a fan of dorm life. At all. One substantial reason is that I love to cook. I'm a vegetarian and dining hall food just doesn't supply enough choices to satiate my cravings for a balanced diet. In fact, I've been fantasizing about having a kitchen to such an extent that I've gathered several blogs and websites to share with you. These are my particularly favorite vegetarian websites.
Check them out:
V e g a n D a d is a blog updated frequently by a father who is raising his children vegan. His recipes are quick and not too involved, although a general know-how of cooking will definitely go a long way. The right-hand side of the page offers an index of ingredients so that you can click on an ingredient and go right to a recipe which utilizes or frames that food. On top of all of that, his photos will lure the most ardent meat eaters!
The Hummus Blog: Who doesn't love hummus? Ok, it can definitely get old, but this blog is a interesting look into the world of hummus. It is created by Israeli brothers who know the best hummus first-hand.
The Toby Show: Organic on a Budget is a specific page from a blog called "The Toby Show." The author is a mom living in the midwest. This page is specifically interesting because, even though you've already thought of some of these ways to save money, she gives some other interesting options as well. Explore the rest of the blog-it's a lot of fun!
The Post Punk Kitchen: Vegetarian cooking & vegan baking with no attitude is a vegan website which gives a bit of edge to traditional cooking shows. It's a lot of fun to check up on occasionally even if I don't follow it regularly.
Have you gotten the hint? Go vegetarian!
Ok, I'll back off a bit. It's a personal choice that everyone has to evaualate, but there are a lot of persuasive reasons. Most importantly to me is the detrimental environmental impact I avoid by eating vegetables and legumes. But another excellent reason to become a vegetarian is to save on groceries! Vegetables, fruits and dairy are significantly cheaper than meat and will give you long-lasting energy. I can't praise the diet enough. But if you're not quite willing to retreat from the meat yet, take it one step at a time. If you refrain from eating meat every night, you'll definitely notice that your budget is not so stretched the next time you go to the grocery store.
Buon appetito!
