here's my intro. I'm from

Virginia, live in Arkansas, married, the mother of three grown

children. I'm the news editor of a local newspaper, used to be a teacher.

 

I'm a vegan. Started out for health reasons and then, after doing lots

of research, found out all the other good reasons to stay away from

animal-based producted.

 

When I have time, I love to knit and muddle around in my (organic)

garden, where I grow herbs and vegetables.

 

Here's my favorite, very easy soup, from the McDougall Quick and Easy

Cookbook I eat it straight, and use it to top pasta or baked potatoes.

I love this stuff.

Place onion and water in saucepan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until

the onion is soft, about four minutes. Add the beans and broth. Stir

until well-combined and souplike. Add corn, salsa, cumin and pepper.

Cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through.
