It's been a long while...

It's been a pretty long while since I last wrote anything about food and at long last I have some news to share with you all. First, I have made some lifestyle changes since I had gall bladder surgery in February and though to some they may seem drastic to me they are the best changes I've ever made. My food journey has taken me from eating a diet full of animal products to embarking on a new vegan lifestyle. It is a journey I do not expect everyone to understand but it has helped me lead a healthier life and I'd like to share what I am learning and the recipes I discover along the way.

Last month I bought a copy of Vegetarian Times magazine and found this amazing recipe for Soba Noodles with Eggplant and Mango which has become a hit here at the house. I had found a pack of noodles at Big Lots and decided to make it and give it a whirl. It is such a great dish!

I made it last night for dinner and took some to work as well! Yum! Here are a few photos of the preparation and the dish:

Eggplant in preparation: after frying in sunflower oil for 6-8 minutes.

Eggplant and soba noodles mixed together.

Chopped cilantro...yum!

Thinly sliced red onion.

Mango.

Chopped basil.

All stirred up with the garlic, rice vinegar and sesame oil vinaigrette.

My lovely little dinner plate ready for me to dig in.

What delicious trails are you blazing these days?
