    Here is the tasty dish Margaret brought to our Spring Potluck.
  • Portabello Benedict, added 1 week ago
    If you love Portabellas and crave something unique and wonderful for breakfast, brunch, or dinner, this is a recipe that you will definitely want to try! This is definitely elegant enough for company, or to impress your friends at a potluck. There are several steps to it, but none of them are complicated. Please note that we substituted the Hollandaise sauce from the Tofu Benedict recipe, as we preferred it over the Hollandaise sauce that was with this original recipe. Should you have any leftover (rare at our house!) try it on green veggies.
  • Tofu Benedict, added 1 week ago
    If you’re looking for a classy dish to serve at your next brunch, try this Tofu Benedict! Complete with its yummy vegan Hollandaise sauce, it easily rivals the “original” in both taste and visual appeal. The sauce is so tasty! Should you have any leftover, dress up your green veggies such as asparagus or broccoli by drizzling some Hollandaise sauce over them.

    Theresa brought these crispy, chocolately, nutty cookies to our Spring potluck -- lucky for us!

The Five Contemplations

  • Our Summer 2010 Potluck — Portland, Oregon, USA

    The Contemplations are spoken before meals in the Order of Interbeing:

  • This food is a gift of the earth, the sky, numerous living beings, and much hard work.
  • May we eat with mindfulness and gratitude so as to be worthy to receive it.
  • May we transform our unwholesome mental formations, especially our greed, and learn to eat with moderation.
  • May we keep our compassion alive by eating in such a way that we reduce the suffering of living beings, preserve our planet, and reverse the process of global warming.
  • We accept this food so that we may nurture our sisterhood and brotherhood, strengthen our sangha [community] and nourish our ideal of serving all beings.
  •  

These principles guide our mission on this website: to facilitate cooking and eating with mindfulness in such a way that we help to reduce the suffering of living beings, preserve our planet, and reverse the process of global warming.
