Even though there’s years of research and information published about how unhealthy the typical American diet is, I feel as if the increased publicity of Food, Inc.<\/a> and Michael Pollan’s books<\/a> are reaching mainstream America and more families are taking action: eating more fruits and vegetables, less meat, closer to the source, etc.<\/p>\n I’ve been experimenting with cooking more meatless, vegetarian and vegan dishes and I have to say that, since my family are cheese lovers, cooking vegan is a challenge. But I’m determined to find recipes that even the most hardcore meat eater, *ahem* \u00a0like my husband, The Don, will actually enjoy without sending any quizzical looks my way!\u00a0\u00a0(I don’t lie to my family, but I’ve found that full disclosure isn’t necessary either.) \u00a0The crumbled tofu mixture was flavorful and savory with the same texture as traditional ricotta – these shells passed with flying colors!<\/p>\n Edit: 3\/13\/13 – It’s \u00a0now 3 years that I’ve been blogging and when I know how far I’ve come when I revisit my “old” recipes. Thank you so much for visiting and I’m going to remake this soon to honor this \u00a0 delicious vegan recipe with a better photo!<\/p>\n
