This blog is meant for those of us who are trying to live a little longer and to help our kids live healthy lives too! Several of us have read a book entitled, "The China Study," which has strongly influenced the way we are trying to eat.

This site is specifically designed to help those of us who are trying to live a vegetarian/vegan type of lifestyle, but feel free to contribute any healthy recipes your family enjoys.

Please send me an e-mail at boren8@msn.com if you would like to be included as an author.

French Toast

1/4 cup whole-wheat flour
1 tsp nutritional yeast flakes
Pinch of cinnamon and nutmeg
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup coconut milk (the canned kind - in the Asian food aisle)
6 to 8 slices of favorite whole grain bread

Mix dry ingredients (flour, nutritional yeast flakes, salt, nutmeg, cinnamon) into bowl.  Stir in coconut milk until well blended.  Dip slices of bread into batter on both sides.  Place on pre-heated oiled griddle and cook until golden brown (3 to 5 minutes).  Repeat on other side till golden brown.  Serve with fruit, pure maple syrup, etc.

**We weren't too sure if we would like this recipe, but it turned out delicious!  Definitely a favorite at our house ... our kids can never get enough of it and we have to always double the batch!!

    I'll have to try this, modified to be gluten-free. Where do you buy the nutritional yeast flakes?

    You can also get them at Sunflower Market. If you're trying to boost fruit and vegetable intake, sunflower market is a MUST. They have AMAZING prices, quality, and selection. They are a trek (one by University Mall in Orem and one across from Fashion Place Mall in Murray), but I always save a ton of money there. They also have a lot of gluten free and other health foods there.

    Ramona - we use so little of the yeast you could come borrow some from us. We have a huge canister we might never get through...

    This was really good Sherry - thanks for sharing! I was surprised how fluffy they got.
