Well, there is just one more day until the 21 day Vegan Kickstart I'm participating in from PCRM(Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine). This brand new blogging all alone begs the question: if a tree falls in the forest is there anyone there to hear it?
Today I am searching for Vegan prepared food sources. My love of restaurants and good food combined with my lack of time due to family and business means I need to set myself up for success by finding outside sources to supplement my own cooking. Pragmatically I can not cook full time and I am trying to find ways to head off my restaurant food cravings. Enter the search for prepared foods. I found this little announcement for the new store brand Whole Foods will be carrying a new line based on the Engine 2 diet http://vegetarianstar.com/2010/09/03/whole-foods-new-private-label-based-on-the-engine-2-diet/ and decided to post it as I recognize the author's name from my dear online vegan friend Bill's emails. So Dr. Esselstyn's son is doing quite well for himself ;) Dr. Esselstyn must be very proud of his son and his success with the diet values his father and mother no doubt instilled in him. I believe I've seen an interview of mom and son at some point in my past years so I will definitely be trying the line as this could offer some great support in a Vegan Hurried Life. Is that an oxymoron? I hope not.
The restaurant guide link at PCRM's kickstart site is not working for me but I did find when I searched google and Cincinnati Vegan restaurants that in fact we DO have a few. But, I'm not hopeful as the menus don't sound nearly as good as the restaurants on both coasts. Note to self(since Im the only one listening..ha): Get camera ready to take pictures of yummy stuff I make. Has to be rewarding to see your creations online and hope they inspire others. As soon as I figure my way around the blogosphere I will definitely be handing out some attaboy and attagirl posts.
I am COMPLETELY impressed with the foodie blogs that have delicious and beautiful vegan offerings. I am positive I could fall easily in love with Vegan eating if I had time to play in the kitchen. I can see my niche may be forming. The Midwest Guiltless Gourmet Easy Vegan Quest....is that too much to ask?
