A quick little blog break

So, as usual, I've been cooking all day preparing for Shabbat. And, as usual, it's a macrobiotic Shabbat. I'm using recipes from The Kind Diet by Alicia Silverstone and from Modern Day Macrobiotics by Simon Brown. I love those books. Here's my Shabbat menu: (I wish others would've shared this with me, so I hope you appreciate it!)

Friday night:
Vegan whole wheat Challah...been making this for a while now, we love it.
Fried Tofu
Vegetable Miso soup
Brown rice pudding

Saturday lunch:
More Challah
Udon noodles with corn, bok choy, carrots and broccoli with a tahini/ume vinegar sauce
Watermelon and cucumber salad

Saturday evening:
Even more Challah
Plum soup
any leftovers, and I always make my kids banana splits with coconut milk ice cream, a banana, and agave.

Back to the braiding the challah and getting the miso soup going.

With love,
Debbie

Getting ready to ready to turn off this computer and read a book

But I couldn't resist writing my first blog, first! What am I going to read? Power Trip by Amanda Little. I know I am going to learn so much from it. And I'm excited. Because I've never thought of the dependence I have on fossil fuels for my daily survival.

I've spending lots of time on http://www.thekindlife.com and http://www.gliving.com, learning and communicating with others that think like I do. It reminds me that I'm not alone or crazy with all my thoughts and ideas.

Oh, and why do I use the title Cinnamon for my blog? I love cinnamon. I put the spice in everything from smoothies to soups to desserts. It warm and spicy. And I learned it settles down my tempermental blood sugar (it really does!)

I hope to bring together a group of friends with the same interests. I can teach how to make a delicious vegan challah and a macrobiotic Shabbat. I can trade smoothie recipes for my 14 month old and six year old twins. So much to share.

With love and sleep well,
Debbie
