wine and tarragon make it French.
Sour cream makes it Russian;
lemon and cinnamon make it Greek.
Soy sauce makes it Chinese;
garlic makes it good.”

Bob's Red Mill White Popcorn
This is definitely my favorite popcorn! The taste is sweet and the popped kernels are delicately crunchy. Try it for yourself and taste the difference!

The Vegan Basics
Vegan Grains

Grains represent the greatest nutrition for most populations all over the world. And a vegan will find that these "grass seeds" provide nutrition for strong minds and bodies... not to mention great creativity in meal planning.

Grain preparation is fast and easy when using a rice cooker. I simply measure out the grain, add water and turn the cooker on. I always add a pinch of sea salt to the water with the grains before starting the rice cooker.

Bob's Red Mill
Bob's Red MillBob's Red Mill has the finest tasting grains that I've tried in my recipes. You can order on-line if your grocery store does not carry the line. I have also gotten stores to special order any items that they do not currently have in stock. So always ask if they can special order different Bob's Red Mill Grains, Flours, Beans,and Baking Aids.
