Ahem --- we now have a Snack Bars and Granolas collection!

Here are two more recipes from our January potluck in Portland, Chelsea's delicious Aloo Gobhi ...http://mindfulcooking.org/recipes/aloo-gobhi ... and for dessert, Erin's Peanut Butter Oat Quinoa Cookies ---- yummm! Peanut Butter Oat Quinoa Cookies... and yet another new recipe, from Marge in California --- for handy all-purpose Tofu Nuggets or Cutlets: Tofu Nuggets or Cutlets

After I described our January potluck in my last letter, I heard from Betsy in California:
Sounds wonderful and wish I could be there eating and discussing, etc. Another very important author is Carol J Adams: The sexual politics of meat. She has also written many other titles but this is a very good overview of how we view sexuality and animals, etc. Take a look at her website where other titles are reviewed .

I also heard from Christel in Germany who found a way to cut down on plastics:
..this blog I would like to recommend to you and our group. I've discovered it today via instagram and went from there to the website:

And now an announcement: we have a new category in our recipe collection! Marge in California assembled a list of healthy snack ideas for the Earth Holder Sangha. This made me realize that we needed a place for homemade snack bars on our website. I collected snack recipes that were elsewhere in our collection and started a Snack Bars and Granolas category, adding a recipe for Raw Apple Buckwheat Granola. Here is the new category:

...and here is the granola:
Raw Apple Buckwheat Granola

We could use more recipes in this new category. If you have granola or snack bar recipes to share with us, please send them in!

Happy cooking (and snacking)---
