Makeing My First Vegan Creation: "Why does it have to be Vegan?"

 Yesterday was a day where I had a very tough challenge. One of the projects I have to do is to make a diabetic, healthy, vegan meal (trying say that three times fast) for my Nutrition class. Now, here is the challenge. Since this is a vegan meal, I absolutely cant use any animal products. That means no meat, no milk, no eggs and any other animal products. (That also includes honey.) So what I had to do is to think like the french and I made something I like to call "The Animal Hugger's Bistro sandwich." I will post the recipe when I get the chance. So what I do is to grill the eggplant "patties" on the griddle with olive oil and I grill some bella mushrooms and place it between some whole wheat flat bread in between the eggplant and mushrooms. I also made some "house-made" ketchup from grounded up tomato, some jalapeno, and some other natural goodies. With that in mind, it is time for the postal tip.

     Tip: If you want to make a sauce, any type of produce can be turned into a sauce. All you have to do is put it into a processor and pulse the produce into a paste. That is called a "Puree." In order to make it a sauce, you have to either cook the sauce with some other ingredients or puree the some of the other ingredients into the mixture and put it into the refrigerator until chilled.

   Now its time for our next clue of our "Mystery Restaurant Challenge." This postal clue might clear it up or make it more confusing. "This place serves street food with elegance but you never see it in a bistro or on the street."

  So keeping up with the topic with vegans, I want to ask you readers the postal question. "If you can make a vegan meal, what would it be?" or "If you were to become a vegan, how would get your protein?" So with that in mind, i bid you a-do and send me some ideas or other cool stuff through the comment box or through e-mail.
