My food philosophy is pretty simple. I eat healthful, vegan meals, trying to incorporate as many <a href="http://www.medicinenet.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=62664">whole foods</a> as possible. I think when you cook your own food, and minimize take-out, you can get away with eating pretty much anything in moderation - just steer clear from ingredients you can't pronounce. Although I avoid dairy and eggs, my family does not - which is why you will find numerous non-vegan recipes (still vegetarian) on my site. I do love sweets, and when I do make them, I don't skimp on flavor or fat. I believe if you are going to indulge in the occasional sweet, use the real (organic) stuff - real butter, sugar, eggs, oil (unless you're <a href="http://www.vegan.org/about_veganism/health.html">vegan</a>). Happy Cooking! ...Hayley...<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8DXS7uHyilg/STGk9Gycf7I/AAAAAAAAAT4/CoODWTtZQjw/s1600-h/IMG_0170.JPG"><img style="text-align: center; margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 475px; display: block; height: 350px;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5274178008328732594" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8DXS7uHyilg/STGk9Gycf7I/AAAAAAAAAT4/CoODWTtZQjw/s400/IMG_0170.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><center>Sullie</center><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4997784905604370005-1167291526743198251?l=buffchickpeaabout.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Hayleynoreply@blogger.com6
