Happy Meatless Monday! Eating Well Magazine has created a cookbook with over 150 recipes, including 50 recipes ready in 30 minutes or less, 45 vegan recipes and options, 75-plus gluten-free recipes. The book is called, “Fast & Flavorful Meatless Meals.” The book answers questions such as:
1) How much protein do you really need and how do you get enough when you don’t eat meat?
2)What nutrients you may be missing in your diet, depending on where you are in the specturm of vegetarianism
3) When does taking supplements make sense?
4) What’s the story with soy? Is it healthy or not?
If you are a vegetarian or vegan, mark your calendar for Sunday, May 27th - the Veggie Pride Parade! There will be scheduled speakers, exhibitors, and a costume contest. The parade starts at Little West 12th Street and lineup begins at 11AM.
