I am lactose intollerant and gluten intollerant so I use the Galaxy brand Vegan parmesan cheese–you should try it…it’s soo delish and they sell it at health food stores and whole foods…i love it and use it to sprinkle ontop of my pasta and veggies…
let me know if you try it.
have a great night.

I love Japanese food and I love white fish. I wish my husband was more of a fish guy. It all looks so good!

Nice job on the pantry cleaning … mine just keeps getting more full

it sounds that your cleaning pantry challenge is going well… i’m proud to say that I’m doing well too!
your macrobiotic/japanese dinner sounds delicious.. i wish I could be your guest to try that dinner combo!
hope you’re having great time with your mom! I made my parents to try my thing… but I doubt they really like it, because they’re used to stronger flavors and my foods are usually tasteless for them!

yay! great job on eating comfortably before sleep!
My parents always thought me eating oatmeal was crazy. I buy these bulk oats from Costco, and they always thought my obsession for oats is weird.
But when I went to Singapore, they HAD to eat my oats to finish them off, and they fell in love with it! Now they must have it every morning…but of course, them being my Asian parents, they eat it with kimchi. urgh.

I love how diverse your cooking is! Good for you girl! Yes, I have tried to make my parents eat just healthier in general-but they can be stubborn!

I love Japanese food. Your meal sounds great! I’ve never tried burdock.
My parents aren’t very adventurous with food. When we went to Paris they were extremely intimidated by the menu even when I explained that the main dishes were omelettes and ham sandwiches.

Maggie,
You’re making so much progress, and you dinner looked delicious…especially that grilled fish.

When I first started eating more of a vegetarian diet, I attmepted an all Indian meal with tofu for my parents. I have never cooked with tofu before and didn’t press the water out or anything. My dad asked me what all these big boogers were on his plate. Classy, huh?

I shared some raw donut holes with my parents, who loved them. But then, what’s not to love?
