Clinical studies have found that casein, a protein in all dairy products, blocks the absorption of antioxidants and renders them useless to our body. Get healthier by going vegan! http://nutritionfacts.org/video/nutrient-blocking-effects-of-dairy/

I make a bread pudding with butternut squash, mushrooms, leeks and gruyere. What's nice is you make most of it the day before, then pour the milk, eggs and cheese over it the next day and bake.

My kids have eaten vegetarian for years, so their Thanksgiving dinners have never meant traditional things like Turkey or Ham. But this is my first veggie Thanksgiving. It's what William James called "a forced option." My choice was made for me by the doctor. I'm so disappointed to be swallowing my pride rather than my turkey and gravy.
Rose Sevilla November 22, 2012 at 01:14 pm
Don, wishing you health and hoping that you're able to find satisfaction in a tasty Thanksgiving meal surrounded by, and able to enjoy, the ones you love. Thank your doctor, and may you rethink tradition! Happy (first veggie) Thanksgiving!

Dear tbs, Deon Coles black box is the worst tv show ever. Though it is hosted by a black man, it'sRead More a show based on pointing fun and rude Racist jokes directed toward black people. If there was a white host it would be considered racist but because a black man was appointed to be host , you might have figured we wouldn't be offended but we are and I can't speak for all but I feel like resist jokes aren't ok regardless of who is telling them and I would like tbs to take down this show or atleast change the points in the show ! -signed, Kalil Stimpson

It was a quality event and a good time was had by all. Parking was NOT a problem. Just bring yourRead More blanket, carpet fragment or your lawn chair and you are good to go.

I found the crowd rather rude and noisy, guess I shouldn't expect quiet in a park, I left early
