Sounds real tasty, so does the Almond milk. never really discussed Halal food, but sounds real good anymore recioes?
Thanks
I've have THOUSANDS of recipes I've been collecting over the years, I'm hoping to add as many as possible to this page, as time goes by. (at least that way, someone's getting some use out of them, and my efforts havent been all in vain, as I'll probably never actually use more than a quarter of them!) Of course, that could take YEARS!
If you want to know more about halal food, (permissable according to Islamic guidelines), I posted some articles that give a basic explanation, yesterday. ..
I'm leaning towards vegetarianism and a raw foods diet, these days, but these recipes reflect years of collecting, while I went through various 'food phases', so there should be something for everyone...
