"Let's go from craving Junk Food to craving Healthy Food"
Diana Walker, Cravings Coach
I am delighted that my friend LaTara of Vegan Family Living is providing Vegan Family Recipes.
I was vegan for about 6 months. That was a few years ago, and I found it so difficult because there were no resources available to be able to easily provide myself, my 2 sons and my Mom (who lived with me) with easy vegan recipes

Well, since Carrie has “tagged” me, I’ve been thinking about what I’ll put here.
1. Our family lived on 70 acres when I was between the ages of 5 and 11– we had no running water (well, as my Mom always said —- “I did the running”) – because we had a well, an outhouse, no electricity, etc. etc. We did have a wonderful organic garden. No pesticides then.
2. I did grades 2 and 3 in one year. Then I did grades 6 and 7 in one year, so I was 16 when I graduated from grade 12 (well, almost 17).
3. I took Computer Programming in 1969 at McKay Technical Institute in Vancouver. I was near the top of the class. There were only 3 girls in the class, the rest were guys. (the girls took keypunching…) Can you believe it, the computers took up rooms and whole floors of the office towers…?! I did not make it my career – I became an Executive Assistant instead.
4. I probably spent about $20,000 on “Self Development”, “Self Help”, “Personal Development”, courses, seminars and retreats, in the 1970s and 1980s. I was always way ahead of my time – learning about health, nutrition, inner growth, yoga, long, long before it was popular!
5. Having my 2 sons was the biggest “personal growth” course in the world!!! They have given me so much joy, and I love them to pieces – they know that too! They are 19 and 29.
6. I’ve been a single parent for the most part. I met my ex-husband (the father of both my sons) — on the beach in Hawaii. It was very romantic…. We were together, and then split up after my first son was born, then got back together several years later, and I had my second son, and then we split up again. I completely have supported myself and my 2 boys during all the years.
7. During the 1970s I lived for several months or years in the following places: San Francisco, California; London, England; Honolulu, Hawaii; Lucerne, Switzerland; Vancouver, Canada
8. My mother’s Mom worked for Mr. Rolls and Mr. Royce – yes, of “Rolls Royce”. We still have family in London, England. My mother’s grandma used to have “high tea” with the Queen Mother.
Well, there you have little snippets of me!
