Hi, and welcome to my blog. On Christmas Day - i was watching a movie w/family, "Julie and Julia". Then a couple of days days ago, my wife and I were watching "Bridezilla" where this bride was referring to her dress by name, "Antoinette" (i'm ummm *cough* pretty sure, she probably had a 3'some w/her hubby (her, her hubby and the dress) but alas, that's a blog for another day).
I was making fun of the show by joking referring to my new Vitamix as Antoinette when it occurred to me - why not create my own "Jule and Julia" type blog - by making every recipe mentioned in the cookbook included with the Vitamix. Now admittedly, this is probably not nearly as daunting as attempting to make every recipe from a french cooking book - but at the same time, i'm probably not nearly as smart of industrious as Julie Powell (for whose blog and story the movie was based upon).
Well, in order to start the venture - of course I need to have a catchy "catch phrase" and along the veil of "Julie and Julia", i thought "Andy and Antoinette" would fit nicely - and so ... my sojourn has begun.
One interesting aspect of this venture is that i follow a completely vegetarian (no meat of any kind, no fish, etc) and mostly vegan (no eggs or dairy) diet. Due to this, I'll be looking to "veganize" all of the recipes. This should be interesting because i'm sure i'll learn a lot about various ingredients and also how to veganize certain options.
My intent for this blog is to share photos, videos, information, challenges, and overall to be educational, fun and entertaining for all who decide to read.
So, later today I intend to make my first recipe - wish me luck ...
