Health knowledge made personal
 Of course, it actually looked like this:* The surprising discovery that I had left some of the Vegan Pumpkin Mousse and Roasted Grapes I'd made for a cooking demo at work on Halloween and NOT taken it all home made for an easy dessert and afternoon snack choice.  The grapes were not long for the world...the mousse, however, (mostly) made it home.  Towards the end of the day, I was in the right place at the right time and was able to eat the leftover Honeybliss Melon they had cut up in the produce department for sampling.  I swear, I was so full all day, I think I only ate the grapes and the melon because I wanted the juiciness of them. I probably should have just had water. However what I'm definitely glad I did NOT skip was dinner. Oh, my little chickadees, this was good!  Zucchini and mushrooms sauteed in Bragg's Liquid Aminos with a dash of Chinese Five Spice, some previously roasted eggplant (also covered in Bragg's)...  ...and the leftover roasted butternut squash and some black beans and forbidden rice from my Halloween meal of Chipotle Butternut Squash and Black Bean "Bisque ."  OK, so all of my food was vegan. And I loved it.  Especially my bedtime snack of grapes followed by more Vegan Pumpkin Mousse, topped with Clifford Crunch, Barbara's Shredded Vanilla Almond Oats, crumbled Maple Pecan Granola Flats, and PB & Co. Cinnamon Raisin Peanut Butter...  But the question remains: [ Source for Original Image]I have waffled back and forth on the answer. I can't commit. An assortment of thoughts have continuously been running through my head
I thought about what I could call myself: "vegan when I can be," "dairy-free vegetarian," "vegan at home," "vegetable eater and meat taster"... And then I realized something Who the heck cares? I'll eat what feels right and I won't call myself anything but Sarah. So what if this pumpkin mousse that I ate it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner (sort of) and want to eat every day for the rest of my life happens to be vegan?  Does it really need a label? |

*Probably because there are a thousand blogs in the world and it's hard to find time to write your own blog, much less read everyone else's every day!
To be...
*I was an English major. Let me be extravagant in my verbiage.
* I told you I put it on EVERYTHING.
*Again with the pie spice...I know.
*Although we thought, later, that I might have put it away in the pantry by accident--I totally would have--it was discovered right in front of my face in the fridge.
