Hi Lauren! I’m Meg… (maybe?) your first fan from Japan! I love Love LOVE your blog! I I began reading “A Bicycle Built for Two” and clicked on the link to your blog! I started reading it (at work!!
) a few days ago and worked my way backwards, all the way to your first blog! Was super fun and I enjoyed all the stories, pictures and recipies.
In fact, as I’m mailing you, the last batch of Double Trouble Chocolate Chip Cookies are baking in the oven! I hope to try many of your other recipies when I can.
I’m 31, married (husband is American) and have 14 year old son (who is 175 and growing!!) who I let taste one cookie and is now begging for more!–He’s got a test at school tomorrow so am stringing him along by promising him more cookies as soon as he’s finished with his homework!!
Anyway, don’t want to take up too much of your time! Will follow you on Twitter (please don’t think me a stalker!!) as soon as I get my new iphone!! Look forward to reading many more posts!!!

Hey Lauren!
Can I first just say you are a GENIOUS!? I just came across your site through Pinterest, and I’ve woken up every morning so excited to try a new smoothie that tastes freakishly close to whatever it’s supposed to taste like (LOVE the Banada Bread Green Monster)
I’m just wondering how healthy these really are for you? Are they really high cal? Pros, Cons?
Thanks for all the help and your delicious recipes!
All the best!

Depends on what you put in them! If you want the exact breakdown I’d find a nutrition calculator online and just enter in each ingredient. In terms of calories, I’ve been having a berry green monster lately for breakfast (spinach, frozen berries, banana, almond milk + regular milk) and I have to eat a hard boiled egg or something on the side cause it’s not enough keep me full until lunch! Make them based on what you need in your diet–need fat? Add walnuts. Need fiber? Add oats. Need protein? Add Greek yogurt!

Hi! I’ve been visiting your blog for sometime now and have been really enjoying it, so much so that I’ve tried to subscribe about a million times. For some reason everytime I hit subscribe it seems to take me to this page and I still get no awesome updates
. I figured after finally stumbling on your page for the umpteenth time and being reminded of your awesomeness all over again I’d ask you about the problem. On a lighter note I Really love your photographs and you seem to have my exact taste in food, must be the hungarian taste.Thanks so much for sharing all those yummy recipes! P.s My mister and I seem to be just as obsessed with our kitty as you guys are with yours and they are twinsies too! Our little bunt cake is named Lint. Also this was my first comment on any blog ever! that’s how awesome you are!

Funny enough just after submitting the above comment I seem to have finally gotten a subscription confirmation. I guess all I needed to do this entire time was leave a comment, haha well thank you!!! Looking forward to your future posts.

Okay Diana, I think I officially fixed it (about time!) Thanks so much for the reminder and I’m happy to have you! If the original subscription didn’t work, feel free to try again

haha I’m glad to hear it’s finally working! I’m sure many people must have wanted to subscribe! I know my first try was at least a couple of months ago, so I’m glad I finally brought it to your attention
Also we just thouroughly enjoyed the sausage cabbage recipe of yours as we cuddled by the fire watching The Grinch. SO GOOD. Thank you!

Hi, just stumbled upon your blog searching for whole wheat pasta recipes. Great recipes! Oddly enough I am baking meatballs as we speak, and thought I would share my variation with you. Being Italian, I’ve taken my moms recipe and made it healthier.
I Use both beef and pork, renders more flavor! Also, I have started using rolled oats ( not the quick kind) as a substitute for the breadcrumbs…… Of course it’s offset by the Parmesan that’s added, lol. The rest of the recipe is the same, can’t remember if you put fresh parsley ? But both parsley and some basil work well.
So happy to have found your blog!

Thanks for the recipe–I love the idea of using rolled oats and will definitely have to try that next! I used dried parsley last time because I never plan ahead far enough to have fresh herbs

Hi Lauren,
Just got onto web to look up numerous vegan crock pot
recipes & somehow came across your Moroccan
lentil stew recipe…you had included an ingredient,
‘garam masala’, and mentioned you had made
your own & would add in upcoming blogs how to
make-may I ask if you can share that now? Need to
find numerous ways to be creative for my husband’s
almost-vegan diet, that has some fish occasionally added.
He’s very ill with several problems, latest being partiality
amputated left great toe that hasn’t healed completely, and
we’re looking at another partial amputation next week, of
area that’s still ‘darker red’ color. We don’t have reason for
‘why’ blood flow isn’t reaching that little area, after angiogram
shows no blockage in left lower extremity. However,
we’ve resorted to complete juicing of an assortment of
veggies that are particular for skin healing since Feb 4, ’13, &
this has brought his insulin needs to 12 units/day, from 32. He
LOVES lentils & I make a lentil dish in variety of ways, and your
recipe looks yummy! Please share with me how masala is
made.
May your future move to upstate NY be rewarding!
Gail Oveissy, R.N.

Hi Gail! I’m so sorry I took forever to reply to this post–I saw the question while at work (very slow internet connection on my iPhone) and then totally forget to post the link later! Here’s the link to the spice mix: http://www.fullmeasureofhappiness.com/2011/03/09/garam-masala-spice-mix/
I hope you make the recipe and that your husband loves it! It must be tough to find a lot of variety in a vegan lifestyle for him, so I hope this is something new you can add! I make a small jar of it and use it in recipes for the next few months, once I get on an Indian/Moroccan kick. Best of health to your husband! I’ll be thinking of him and will offer up a prayer for his healing. And you can help me out–what kind of juicer do you use, and do you like it?
