Dietary Needs

Vegan Curried Rice is happily vegan, of course, but is also gluten-free, dairy free, egg free and nut free. As we are starting to approach the spring season, it is hard to let go of the long sweat pants, oversized sweaters and snow boots.  

I know it is hard to picture the ground without snow but before you know it will be time for shorts, t-shirts, flip-flops (Thongs for all of my Auzzie readers) and the dreaded swim attire... Seriously this is a scary thought!  We have started to take small delicious steps to meeting my goals of reducing sugar from diet, eating loads of colorful vegetables, eating lean proteins and eating more healthy carbs.

Vegetables For the Win!

Vegan Curried Rice is a simple way to meet our health goals. We enjoy eating loads of colorful vegetables and eating just a tiny bit of carbohydrates in the form of brown rice. I know that usually rice is the main ingredient in fried rice dishes. Today, the star of the show are the fresh veggies and spices. Seriously, this whole dish only has about 1 cup cooked brown rice and this is for 4 people. This is a great way to keep any diabetics in your family happy. They get to eat fried rice, well mostly veggies...but with a few grains of rice.
