And That's No Blarney!
For a delightful St. Patrick's Day celebration at home, dress the table in green, hang shamrocks and leprechauns on the walls, and begin the event with a sip of Sean O'Reilly's Cocktail, a delightful beverage dressed for the holiday in Irish green. Though kiwis are certainly not Irish, they provide the ideal base for a delicious thirst quencher. Spiked with a touch of lemon juice and ginger, the cocktail whets the appetite for the traditional meal ahead. Play some Irish music, sing Irish songs, and, of course, tell an Irish joke or two. As the Irish say, "Be Irish for a day!"

A terrific idea came our way from our neighborhood real estate agent, and we adopted it. We began keeping a GOOD THINGS JAR handy on the counter along with a small note pad and pen. Every time we experience one of those special good things, we quickly write it down, fold the note, and tuck it into the jar.
Send some of your GOOD THINGS to us at vegparadise@vegparadise.com and we'll gladly share them with our readers. Maybe we can create a GOOD THINGS ZONE where we can take joy in each other's GOOD THINGS. It just may become a place of comfort to cheer you up when times get tough.

Across the United States
If you're a foodie with a willing and venturesome palate, you may have noticed your favorite restaurants are dishing up some unique fruit and vegetable concoctions recently. Vegetables are HOT with chefs across the country, highlighting them in menus featuring imaginative, vegetable-centric dishes.
Gone are the familiar piles of steamed carrots or broccoli next to mashed potatoes on the plate. Instead, chefs are putting their left-brains into high gear and turning out tantalizing vegetable dishes flaunting exotic herb and spice blends.

In Low-FODMAP and Vegan she describes her personal battle with IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome). "Why aren't we among the majority of vegans who are thriving and feeling fabulous? What's the matter with us?" she writes in the introduction.

Has Million Facebook Fans
A couple who bought a micro-pig were stunned when their pint-sized family pet turned into a 670-pound giant.
Steve Jenkins and Derek Walter from Ontario, Canada, adopted Esther thinking she would only grow to around 70 pounds.
But they were tricked and two-year-old Esther has not stopped growing and is now heavier than a fully-grown female polar bear.

Tofu Chestnut Cioppino
Typically, the cioppino is served over pasta, which is always a delicious option, but this presentation is simply wholesome, homespun chowder that stands on its own. For a lovely meal begin with a bountiful salad of leafy greens and plenty of chopped veggies dressed with a light balsamic dressing. Then, accompany the cioppino with plenty of lusty whole-grain bread for mopping up the savory sauce.

Meat-free Mondays are really catching on--and so are Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, et al. According to a new report by research firm Mintel, 31 percent of Americans are now opting into meat-free days.
This info was revealed as part of Mintel's "The Protein Report: Meat Alternatives US 2017." Health concerns are apparently the top motivator for cutting back on meat, with cholesterol and saturated fat worries leading the pack; weight loss is another key driver of behavior change.

Into Plant-Based Paradise
Vegan cuisine reaches delicious nirvana at Erven, a relaxed, yet moderately upscale plant-based restaurant in Santa Monica. The welcoming dining spot, located a few doors from 5th Street and Santa Monica Boulevard, opened in July 2016 and occupies the space where Real Food Daily began serving vegan foods in 1993.
Upon entering, we found ourselves in The Marketplace, an anteroom where casual lunch and take-away salads, sandwiches, and juices are attractively displayed in a refrigerated deli case. A friendly host greeted us and offered a complimentary glass of chilled sangria. That was such a pleasing gesture! All it took was one tasty sip and we knew were in for an enjoyable meal.

More and more restaurants and companies are offering vegetarian and vegan meals. For example, Subway is testing a vegan burger in Florida, and Ben & Jerry's recently released four vegan ice cream flavors. But how many people are interested in vegetarian and vegan meals?
To help answer this question, The Vegetarian Resource Group commissioned Harris Poll to conduct a nationally representative online poll of 2,015 adults aged 18 and over. We asked:

It's unusual for someone to refuse money, but that's the case in the United Kingdom when it comes to the new 5-pound note. Why the refusal? Because it violates religious and ethical principles of some of its citizens.
Why is the money causing such consternation? Many UK citizens will answer, "Because it's fat. The 5-pound note that displays a metallic image of Queen Elizabeth on one side and Winston Churchill on the reverse side is made with minute amounts of tallow. Tallow is animal fat.

Tons of diet books make their debut at the beginning of the year because publishers know the inevitable--so many people have added pounds during the year-end festivities. Most diet books promise a new, slimmed-down you that will be the envy of all your friends.
The number of people staying on these diet plans for any length of time is amazingly low, yet not surprising. Most of these diets fail because people feel deprived by the limited calories and smaller portions that leave them hungry and unsatisfied.
