Welcome to the wonderful world of healthy vegetarian crackers
We like Nabisco crackers. I like Ritz crackers; I like Wheat Thins. And my husband loves to put Saltines in his soup (of which he is inordinately fond).

And, in each case, nestled ever so lovingly among other scary ingredients, was the one that makes me blanch: High [...]
Dinner for one; vegetarian or not
I remember the meals I used to eat when I lived alone. A bowl of cereal. A bag of chips and onion dip (hey, who cared about breath when you lived alone?). Rice with whatever was in the house dumped on top (and when I say whatever, I mean whatever because toppings ranged from stir [...]
The fastest, easiest way to get him (the husband) or them (the kids) to eat their fruit
In my circle, anyway, it always seems like it is always the mom’s who are trying to inch their families toward the healthier vegetarian lifestyle. Less meat is a real challenge (and I’d love to hear your suggestions on this). More vegetables is almost as big a challenge (but there are plenty of resources to [...]

When Nicole Kidman goes vegetarian, what does she cook?
It almost seems unfair, doesn’t it? To be so talented, so elegant, and have the ability to cook. But it’s true! Because when Moulin Rouge star Nicole Kidman goes vegetarian, she does so with style.
As in slivered garlic and pine nuts and balsamic vinegar.
Want to see what she makes? Then hang on, because this food [...]
Drink up: Water bottles for the Almost Vegetarian from SIGG and Klean Kanteen
The problem with being an almost vegetarian is that the mindset spreads into other parts of your life.
First, you get interested in health. Then, you get interested in nutrition. Then there are the concerns about your cleansers, your clothing, your transportation , and so on.
It’s like ripples in the water: The almost vegetarian influence spreading, [...]
The Almost Vegetarian cleans up: How to clean everything from your Cuisinart food processor and KitchenAid stand mixer to your shiny stove and fridge
Even us almost vegetarian’s have to clean the kitchen. However, for us, cleaning is a little different than it is for meat-eaters. On one hand, we probably don’t have to clean the roaster (in fact, I bought a baster a year ago to replace our worn-out baster, and I have yet to even use it). [...]

So, to help you unearth it, I figured it was about time I did some round-ups of some of the best posts.

The Last Chinese Chef: Excerpt and vegetarian Chinese food recipe
I write for a living, so it should come as little surprise that my idea of a good time is a good book.
And I blog about food, so the best books for me are often food-oriented.
So what am I reading now? The Last Chinese Chef by Nicole Mones ($24). This is a fiction book, mind [...]
Trader Joe’s Fearless Flyer comes through with vegetables and antioxidants (woo hoo!)
So I’m browsing through the new Trader Joe’s Fearless Flyer catalogue (yeah, the Trader Joe’s Fearless Flyer … go’wan and laugh … but my husband was listening to NPR [National Public Radio] and I needed something to occupy my mind) when I tripped across not one, but two interesting new products.
The first will help you [...]
