Karma-Free Cooking

Sharing my Vegetarian Lifestyle and Delicious Vegetarian Recipes with You

About Me November 8, 2007

I am Madelyn and I live in San Juan, Puerto Rico.  I am a lacto-vegetarian who became a vegetarian after I started to practice Yoga seriously.  I never considered becoming a vegetarian before then.  However, I have seen  and felt how being a vegetarian has helped my health and my overall spirituality, believe it or not. 

It’s funny, but when I decided to become vegetarian, I developed an increased appreciation for cooking and developing recipes suitable for the kind of diet I wanted to follow.  Vegetarian cooking had such a bad rep  - bland, unappetizing, monotonous, you name it…  So I started taking successful non-vegetarian recipes, and adapted them to fit my new diet lifestyle. 

And to me, being vegetarian goes a bit beyond just not eating meat or animal products.  It has to do with having the most natural and organic lifestyle possible - no soft drinks, avoiding chemical or animal additives, avoiding canned foods, avoiding chemical medications, avoiding foods that have been cooked a long time ago, among others.  It has definitely been a process that has taken me over 10 years.

I would like to share with you a bit of what I have learned, why I’ve done the changes I’ve integrated into my life and maybe help you start following a more natural, karma-free lifestyle too. 

Hari Om.

Madelyn.

    Very nice, Madelyn! Inadvertently, I have become a vegetarian but not quite to the extent that you are. I need to pay more attention to it I guess and now can do so via your blog. When I say inadvertently, I just happened to cut meat out of my diet. A couple of months later, I noticed that I had dropped twenty pounds! I wasn’t aware of many of the true vegetarian practices, but again, will pay more attention to your site.

    Dear,

    Sounds pretty interesting! :) I love veggies….I either buy them at farmers market or go for only organic. Though I am not 100% veggie like you. But I just take white meat…..once in a while. If you like Indian cooking, do visit my blog.

    cheers,
    Malar Gandhi
