Menu Plan June 13-19: Trying Some Vegan Recipes

My husband has decided that he would like to go back to his vegan diet for awhile to help him drop a couple of pounds. I am ok with it because his parents have been supplying us with so much fresh produce lately. This weekend they gave us a big bag of peaches from one of their trees. If you are interested in a great vegan website check out Green and Crunchy. This is one of my favorite places to get vegan recipe inspiration.

  3. I found you @ Menu Plan Monday. Great blog -- LOVE the concept. I'm on a similar journey, too.

    I'd like to learn more about almond milk yogurt as well. I have a yogurt maker. Do you use teh same recipe, just sub almond milk? And what sort of yogurt do you use?

  4. Honestly I am not sure how I am going to make almond milk yogurt. I have a yogurt maker and have made lots of cow's milk yogurt. I am not sure what I am going to use as a starter. I have an email sent to the blog I got the idea from to find out. I will let you know as soon as I know something.
    If you do not have a yogurt maker there are ways you can still make it using your oven. I may have to do a post on the subject.
