Healthy Vegan gifts

This year I received a couple of great gifts for Christmas that I’d like to share with everyone.

I received this book from my good friend Jan. It’s my very first vegan cookbook ever. I have over 50 vegetarian cookbooks but none of them are completely vegan. It looks like a great cookbook. Recipes are easy, quick and simple. I look forward to using it, in fact, I’m making pad Thai tonight. I’ve been looking for a good pad Thai recipe for a while and this one looks good and simple.

I also received this rice cooker and steamer from my good friend Kathy. I can’t believe that I’ve been a vegetarian for about 9 years and never had one of these. They are amazing. I’ve already used it twice since Christmas. You just dump in all the ingredients to your favorite rice recipe, put the lid on and hit the button. It determines the cooking time all on it’s own by sensing how much water is in the pot as it cooks. It chimes and turns off when the rice is done. I love it, love it, love it.
