Vegan Author Colleen Patrick-Goudreau Says No More Excuse-itarian
Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, May 6th, 2010 in Authors, Food & Drink.
Colleen Patrick-Goudreau, author of several vegetarian cookbooks, including “The Joy Of Vegan Baking,” is giving a series of speeches around the United States titled, “From Excuse-itarian to Vegetarian: Addressing the Blocks that Keep People from Making Changes.”
Patrick-Goudreau says making the transition to vegetarian or veganism is easier than you think and you may not even realize your diet is almost there.
Even meat eaters area already eating fruits, vegetables and nuts, for example.
Sometimes it’s just a matter of taking the same spices you’d use in a meat dish and applying those to a plant based one.
“When you’re going to get salad from the salad bar, just don’t put cheese on it,” Patrick-Goudreau said. “Try a bean burrito instead of a chicken burrito.”
Patrick-Goudreau advised vegans worried about calcium to consume lots of dark, leafy greens that contain the mineral, such as kale, collard greens, chard and broccoli.
Of course, buying her cookbooks doesn’t hurt either.
Besides The Joy of Vegan Baking, Patrick-Goudreau has also authored The Vegan Table : 200 Unforgettable Recipes for Entertaining Every Guest at Every Occasion.
