Spicy Vegetarian Chili You didn’t think I’d show you how to make those delicious Jalapeno Pepper Jack Scones and not show you how to rock them out with some chili, did you!? Yea… you’ve got some cooking to do. I’ll leave you to it… besides, I’m totally busy shopping for cheek stain online. I manage to throw, darn near, the entire contents of my fridge in my chili.

home page - the vegan online store Creating Sacred Space To Better Communicate With The Sacred In Your Life This is another great podcast from Christina Pratt's on sacred space. One point I found really interesting was at about the 18 minute mark when she starts talking about belief structure and how people can struggle with a "Shamanic Worldview" split. Really interesting stuff. Here's the description of the show: Space is inherently sacred, as are all things, as are you. When we act to “create sacred space” we are acknowledging that fact of the sacred in the space and greeting The Mystery there. Altars can be indoors or outdoors, permanent or impermanent, portable or part of a place in nature. You can listen to it here. Download the MP3 file here. Sign up for the podcast on iTunes here.

Vegaaniruokavalion aloittaminen | Oikeutta eläimille Vegaani on henkilö, joka ei käytä tuotteita tai palveluita, jotka perustuvat muiden eläinten riistoon. Vegaaninen ruokavalio ei sisällä mitään eläinkunnasta peräisin olevaa kuten lihaa, kalaa, kananmunia, maitotuotteita tai niiden johdannaisia. Myös monet vaateteollisuuden käyttämät materiaalit perustuvat muiden eläinten riistoon, kuten nahka tai villa. Kattavasti tietoa kasviperäisestä ruokavaliosta löytyy Vegaaniliiton sivuilta. Kasvisruokavalioon kuuluu paljon kaikille tuttuja raaka-aineita, ja monet tutut ruoat on helppo valmistaa ilman eläinkunnan tuotteita. Lihaproteiinin sijaan voit käyttää esimerkiksi palkokasveja (erilaiset linssit ja pavut, kuten soija ja herne)pähkinöitäsiemeniätäysjyväviljojaseitania (vehnägluteenista valmistettu lihaa muistuttava valmiste)tofua Lehmänmaitotuotteiden sijaan voit käyttää esimerkiksi soija-, kaura-, riisi-, manteli- tai pähkinämaitoja, ruoka- ja vispikermoja sekä jogurtteja.

PVC Bike Repair Stand I chose 1 1/2 inch PVC pipe for the main frame because it was sturdy & had the broadest selection of fittings. There are a couple pieces of 2" pipe that I use for the bike frame rests, and some optional foam weather stripping to use for padding. There is also some shaping of some of the pipe & fittings, so some carving & shaping tools are required. Tools: - hack saw (or alternately a PVC tubing cutter) - tape measure - wood chisel (or alternately a dremel tool with a carbide bit) - pencil & dry-erase marker - file - sand paper PVC parts: (4) 15" lengths of 1 1/2" diameter pipe for the base supports (2) 34" lengths of 1 1/2" diameter pipe for the legs (1) 16" length of 1 1/2" diameter pipe for the down-tube support (1) 51" length of 1 1/2" diameter pipe for the base outrigger (1) 3" length of 2" diameter pipe for the bike rests (3) 1 1/2" T-fittings (2) 1 1/2" 90 degree elbow fittings (2) 1 1/2" coupling or end-cap fittings (1) 1 1/2" cross fitting (AKA 4-way fitting)

Vähennä lihaa: Saat proteiinia myös näistä! Kasvissyöjän ja erityisesti vegaanin ruokavalion haasteeksi muodostuvat usein keholle välttämättömät proteiinit. Katso, miten saat tarvittavat määrät proteiinia ilman lihatuotteiden nauttimista! Proteiinien saantisuositus on 10–20 % kokonaisenergiantarpeesta. Vegaaniliiton mukaan hyviä proteiininlähteitä kasvisruokavaliossa ovat palkokasvit, täysjyvävilja, pähkinät ja siemenet. Liiton mukaan kasvisravinnon perusproteiini saadaan täysjyväviljasta. Daily Mail listasi kymmenen terveellistä proteiinipitoista ravinnonlähdettä, jotka sopivat erityisesti kasvissyöjille.Monet näistä eivät ole varsinaisia proteiinipommeja, mutta ne sisältävät kuitenkin muita terveellisiä ainesosia, kuten vitamiineja ja antioksidantteja. Kikherneet Kikherneet ovat oiva lisä ruokavalioon, sillä ne sisältävät vähän rasvaa ja paljon proteiinia. Kvinoa Kvinoa on tuhansia vuosia vanha viljelykasvi Etelä- ja Väli-Amerikasta.

Bicycling Quotes, Sayings about Bikes, Bicycles, Cyclists, Biking Related Quotes Exercise Sports Nature Car-Free Walking The bicycle, the bicycle surely, should always be the vehicle of novelists and poets. ~Christopher Morley The bicycle is a curious vehicle. Its passenger is its engine. ~John Howard It would not be at all strange if history came to the conclusion that the perfection of the bicycle was the greatest incident of the nineteenth century. Tens of thousands who could never afford to own, feed and stable a horse, had by this bright invention enjoyed the swiftness of motion which is perhaps the most fascinating feature of material life. Why should anyone steal a watch when he could steal a bicycle? The bicycle is the most civilized conveyance known to man. When man invented the bicycle he reached the peak of his attainments. When I see an adult on a bicycle, I do not despair for the future of the human race. When I go biking, I repeat a mantra of the day's sensations: bright sun, blue sky, warm breeze, blue jay's call, ice melting and so on.

Soija | vegaaniravitsemus Soijaa on syöty Aasiassa vuosituhansien ajan, mutta länsimaissa se on melko uusi tulokas. Soijan terveysvaikutuksia on tutkittu paljon, mutta monia huolestuttaa myös soijan mahdolliset haittavaikutukset. Soija on pieni ja vaatimattoman näköinen papu, mutta yksi ravinteikkaimmista viljelykasveista. Muihin papuihin verrattuna siinä on paljon proteiinia (36 g/100g) ja rasvaa (18 g/100g) mutta vähemmän hiilihydraatteja (16 g/100g). Sen rasva sisältää kumpaakin välttämätöntä rasvahappoa, linolihappoa ja alfalinoleenihappoa. Soijapapu on myös ainutlaatuinen isoflavonien lähde, mikä on erityisesti kiinnostanut tutkijoita. Isoflavonit – terveydeksi vai haitaksi? Yhdessä grammassa soijaproteiinia on noin 3,5 mg isoflavoneja. Soijan isoflavonit ovat genisteiiniä, daitseiinia ja glysiteiiniä. Eräs suolistobakteeri tuottaa daitseiinista ekuolia. Reseptoreihin sitoutumalla isoflavonit voivat vaikuttaa moniin fysiologisiin tapahtumiin esimerkiksi estämällä entsyymien aktiivisuutta.
