Rodale News - Greenhouse Gases Lowering Nutrients In Food

Yeah, I really can.

Just finished making a chocolate vegan cake with almost vegan chocolate mocha frosting.   I thought to myself, "I can just hear die-hard vegan's yelling at me. 'You can't be lacto-ovo vegetarian and vegan at the same time!'.   

Uh, yeah, really I can.  

yumm, yumm,  this cake is good.  

The frosting is almost vegan because I used 1/3 C. non-vegan margarine.  

You do what you can with what you've got.

My 17-yo son (not veg) loved the cake.  Until I told him it was vegan.  When husband got home, not veg either, son told him it was vegan.  What unfair treatment they have at my hands.

Made this for Easter.   We ate at my parents and since I am vegetarian and the main food at Mom's table would be meat (ham for this one), dinner rolls, very buttery cheddar and sour cream potatoes and corn, I needed well, something to eat.  At Thanksgiving, same situation, however, the ham was replaced with turkey.  I brought a spinach/strawberry/pecan salad and green beans with garlic (no butter), and sesame seeds.  Both times Mom was so glad I brought the green stuff.
