"I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear."

Mixed seed, mixed rice, blueberry breakfast pudding - vegan, gluten-free and low sugar!
Ingredients:
1 cup mixed brown & wild rice (I buy big canisters of mixed rice from Costco)
1/4 cup each flax seeds, dried blueberries (or raisins), sunflower
seeds, pumpkin seeds
4 cups water
1 can coconut milk
Cinnamon to taste (I use about 1/4 cup but that might be too much for some)
Directions
Put all ingredients in rice cooker, turn on.
Makes approximately 4-6 large servings.
Time Saving Tip - You can mix 4 cups of mixed rice with 1 cup each of the pumpkin,
sunflower, flax seeds and dried blueberries, and then just use 2 cups
of mixture when preparing.

Pizza!
Delicious Pizza (vegan but not gluten free)
6 sheets of Mountain Bread (http://www.mountainbread.com.au/cgi-bin/index.pl - from Costco)
1/3 cup of tomato sauce
1 onion, chopped
2 tsp of coconut oil
1 pepper, sliced
1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
handful of black olives, sliced
Fry onion in coconut oil until caramelized. Meanwhile, put 2 sheets of mountain bread next to each other on a cookie sheet. Brush with water. Add 2 more sheets, brush with water, and top with 2 more sheets, so you have 2 stacks of 3 sheets. Spread with tomato sauce. Arrange veggies and caramelized onions over and bake in 400 degree oven for 20 mins.
Of course, you can substitute any sort of pizza toppings. Here's a hint though, when making a normally cheesy dish like pizza cheeseless, it helps to add savoury ingredients, such a olives, capers, onions, mushrooms and artichokes. Vegan cheese can always be added too! I tried the best smoky vegan cheese at a party last week that would be a delicious addition to any pizza!
