Making vegan Halloween candy for my teenage daughter

Guest post written by Simon Vincent

My teenage daughter told us four months ago that she was going vegan. I didn't believe that she would stick to it for more than a few weeks, but she's still sticking to that regimen. I remember it distinctly because I was going to make her a birthday cake the next week and had to come up with an alternative recipe. Since then I've been experimenting with all kinds of vegan recipes to figure out which ones are good and which one's aren't.

I looked online to find some vegan Halloween recipes to make for her that would still taste good. While I was online looking up those recipes, I ran across some info on clear TV bundle packages. I showed them to my wife and after that we decided to change over our home service to one of those bundles.

I did find some pretty good sounding vegan candy recipes, but I never trust one online that says it's good. Sometimes those just taste weird, but I did find a few candy recipes for peanut butter cups and chocolate bars that were pretty satisfactory.

Food Allergy Test Results

I was in for a surprise when I got my food allergy test results this past Wednesday. For the few days prior, my thoughts were wrought with fear that I may be allergic to garlic or nuts. I even started designing my garlic and nut super-villain tattoos. Thankfully those weren't on my list. The shock came with the 29 other items on my list! Moderate allergies Baker’s and brewer's yeast Pineapple Vanilla White mushroom Sensitivities Broccoli Buttermilk Carrots Casein Celery Cilantro Cinnamon Cod Dates Iceberg lettuce Kiwi Lamb Millet Onion Oregano Parsley Plum Potato Raspberry Rosemary Sage Strawberry Swiss cheese Turkey I was upset to see so many yummy foods on the list, including my go-to meat, turkey, and some of my usual spices. I was glad to see celery and onions, though. I’ve detested them for years and I always get laughed at for hating onions. Now I have a legitimate reason for hating them! I can live with this list. Well, I...

Diet and School updates

Dietary Change update: It's been about a month and a half now since I went vegetarian. It has been so easy for me. I really thought it was going to be hard, but I don't even miss meat that much. I'd be losing weight if I stopped eating peanut butter m&ms. I ran out of those last night and don't plan on asking Hubs to buy me any more. I hope to start seeing some weight disappear then. Thanksgiving has been the first holiday since I made this change, and I figured I might cheat and eat a little turkey. But Dad said that he's making a ham instead, and I hate ham, so it's a win-win situation! I'm making my usual from scratch green bean casserole - yum! School update: I finished my Anatomy and Physiology course with a final grade of 96. Woohoo! I've started my next class, Natural Heath and Nutrition. It focuses on the foods we eat that are beneficial for us and I'm really excited to learn more. This is exactly why I wanted to study nutrition! I ...
