I am not sure if you are still blogging, hopefully you are

I have two questions, how do you make your garlic toast and how do you make your roasted broccoli. I am new to cooking! Do you buy raw broccoli, wash it or prewashed broccoli? I don’t even know how to clean a broccoli!

All your food looks so good and your daughter is so so cute!

hk- I have no idea where else you could look? Where do you live? Dreena Burton is Canadian so maybe thats why it was easy to find? Did you check amazon? Dreena has a blog as well- http://vivelevegan.blogspot.com/. You can always ask her where the heck to find her books! =)

GOSH! I’m having an impossible time finding ED&BV! How did you get your hands on it?? I’ve looked everywhere online and at 3 local bookstores, and I’ve had no luck at all!! wowzers, no wonder it’s so popular, all of your beautiful meals from it make me want to buy it so badly any ideas on other places to look?

I too started my day with a perfectly ripe banana (sans nut-butter though - I saved that for my post-workout bowl of hazelnut-butter oatmeal, hehe).

You’ve really intrigued me with those Quinoa flakes - looks marvelous!!

Romina- you must try them- and let me know what you think if you do. Its so fun to try new products!

Jenna- they are defiantly a cream of wheat like texture- they aren’t chewy at all but they keep me just as full as oats. They also are super fast to make- after you add them to the boiled liquid it only takes 2 minutes until they are done!

Whats the texture of these flakes? I always see them at the store and am thinking maybe I should step out of my oatmeal box and get some! Are they chewy or more of a cream of wheat texture? Do they keep you full like oatmeal?

I find it makes a huge difference what ripeness a banana is when you spread PB on it. Underripe means that it gives you a bad aftertaste… and overripe is just mushy!

I’ve really gotta try quinoa flakes, and other grain flakes. I was just thinking about it in the shower actually. It’s great that these all exist, because oat just get boring sometimes.
