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.

Quick Garbanzo Bean Soup

My kids really like this one because all of the beans are liquified in the blender.  Some of them don't really like the texture of beans, so this is easy to eat, quick, and yummy.  We double or triple.

1 small yellow onion, chopped
1 cup minced fresh parsley
1/2 cup minced pepper
2 large cloves garlic, crushed
1 tsp. ground cumin
1/4 cup water
3 15-oz. cans garbanzo beans
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup lemon juice

In a large soup pot, saute the onion, parsley, pepper, garlic, and cumin in 1/4 cup water until tender.  Place the garbanzo beans and their liquid in a blender and puree.  Add to the vegetables along with 1/2 cup water and lemon juice.  Simmer covered for 20 minutes.  Add cayenne to taste before serving.
