I made the Sweet Potatoes with Cranberries recipe that was posted by one kind soul. It got rave reviews from guests at the dinner I attended. I was even asked to make it again for a Christmas Eve buffet to which I've been invited. Thanks so much to whomever! You made MY top ten.

Then there's cranberry relish-I'm sure everyone has their version of this, dunno the exact proportions but fresh (not canned) cranberries, cut up 2 oranges and an apple (cored) some orange juice and sugar to taste, blend it all in a food mill or food processor and serve. The leftover juice is good as is the relish. I brought a lot back home as leftovers among other food items.

I've decided to use my Upside Dwon Pumpkin Pie recipe as part of the basis for an article on food and the Internet. I'll let you know what I have in mind next Thanksgiving.

If you like this or didn't like it or have something you'd like to add -ingredients or innovations to this or if you'd just like comment on it, would you contact me at

Twenty-One Reasons to Eat Like a Vegetarian
1. Less fat and calories. One noteworthy feature of a vegetarian diet is the potential for less artery-clogging saturated fat. For example, beans, which are a focal point of healthy vegetarian meals, contain very little fat. Soybeans and products made with them are somewhat higher in fat than other beans, but the fat they contain does not promote heart disease. In fact, the protein in soy is believed to have just the opposite effect by reducing cholesterol levels.

Nuts and seeds are indeed high in fat, but again, not the kind that is bad for your heart. In small quantities, these foods help satisfy your appetite and can thereby actually curtail overeating.

Low-fat and nonfat dairy products are another example of protein in a lean package. As you will soon see, in Enemy of the Steak, we sometimes make use of a little-known food called yogurt cheese, which is easily made from yogurt. We also use eggs in moderation because, contrary to what many people now believe, eggs are low in fat and calories relative to their nutritional return.

Finally, because many vegetarian staples are high in fiber, and because the vegetarian meals we promote emphasize more vegetables and whole grains than meat-based meals, a sound vegetarian menu is likely to fill you up with fewer calories.

2. Better nutrition. It’s often easier to get adequate amounts of most vitamins and minerals from a vegetarian diet than it is from a meat-based diet. By its very nature, vegetarian eating includes abundant amounts of vegetables on a daily basis. While there is no reason meat eaters can’t eat similar amounts of vegetables, in general, they give these foods a lower priority. The same is true of whole grains. Due to these choices, as well as the fact that beans and nuts are high in fiber while animal foods contain little, vegetarians also get far more health-promoting fiber in their diets.

This is not to say that all vegetarians enjoy better nutrition. Poorly chosen diets are unhealthy irrespective ...
