A Healthy Vegan Christmas [W:49 & 76]

Re: A Healthy Vegan Christmas

Pass.
 
Re: A Healthy Vegan Christmas

Okay so I actually like lentils. Prepared properly they're pretty tasty.

Not for Christmas though.

Tomorrow will be a Sardinian inspired calamari salad, salmon wrapped in filo, scallops wrapped in bacon and jumbo shrimp served with a remoulade.

Sunday will be a ham and lasagna.

Copious amounts of wine and cheese both days.

Have you had yeast potatoes?

I would be willing to try that, out of curiosity if nothing else.

I know I can google it, but what is a "yeast" potato? Sounds like a yeast infection that calcified and had to be surgically removed.




[Edit: Ok ok. I googled it and feel stupid. Of course that would work. DUH. I'll chalk it up to preliminary holiday cheer.]

What does 1/4 cup of dead yeast in 2 lbs of potatoes taste like is what I am wondering. I like the smell of yeast, I love wheat beer with yeast at the bottom, this could work.

It looks very good. But it makes me think that many vegans are after body mastery rather than healthful eating. Oil and salt are necessary nutrients. Why would one chose to omit either one from a recipe? Sugar in small doses is no harm at all assuming one is healthy. What am I missing?

Himalayan salt is healthier ,maggie

I think I've actually had potato rolls at some point. A bit "meatier" if you will, then wheat rolls. But really it's just adding yeast to a different type of carb and letting it do its thing.

Christmas Day-ham, baked potatoes (more sour cream and butter) and peas

Cheers!

No.

There is NO evidence published in peer-reviewed journals that replacing white salt with pink salt makes a shred of difference or leads to any improvement in health.
If you read down the list of minerals, you will notice that it includes a number of radioactive substances like radium, uranium, and polonium. It also includes substances that act as poisons, like thallium. I wouldn’t be worried, since the amounts are so small; but if anyone believes the trace amounts of “good” minerals in Himalayan sea salt are good for you, why would they not believe the trace amounts of poisons and radioactive substances are bad for you?
The claim that pink Himalayan salt contains 84 trace minerals may be true, but the claim that it “promotes health and wellness” is false until proven otherwise by legitimate clinical studies. While waiting for evidence, I’d just as soon my salt didn’t contain uranium.

Himalayan salt

Expensive Himalayan salt[wp] has a pale pink color.[7] It does not actually come from the Himalayas, but from Khewra, Pakistan, some 200 miles from the actual mountain range. Chemically it's about 98 percent table salt, the remainder being mostly gypsum and iron oxide (accounting for the rusty color). Not only is it not rare, but it's from the world's second-largest salt mine system.

The claims about Himalayan salt range from overstated to extravagant, including the claim that it contains "ions of stored sunlight" and that its geometric crystalline structure is more perfect than plain salt, which will make a big difference when it dissolves on contact with any sort of water.[8] As mentioned above, it also has claims of many weird elements claimed to "make it healthier."

Potato hot dog buns are way tastier than regular. Potato pasta is really good too, like gnocchi, which is about 70% potato, and 30% regular flour.

I was just wondering if those really exist. You see them mentioned on old TV shows, and I've never seen one in person. I bet Walgreens sells em by the baby powder and laxative displays.

Food isn't high on my list of priorities on Christmas, God is. But I'll try the recipes, some other time when I feel like trying something new.
That salad looks really yummy.

Merry Christmas to all
