And she&#8217;s still going strong, which is awesome. I hadn&#8217;t been home since she decided to make this change, so I was looking forward to trying some home cooked vegan meals.  No matter where I go to eat, it never compares to the food my mom can make (since it&#8217;s cooked with an extra spoonful of love.) I&#8217;m also going to take credit for her dietary change (which has also effected the way my dad eats) though I guess the PCRM and Neil Barnard have had a lot to do with it too.<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/prairiev\/4522702128\/\" title=\"couscous salad by MeShellG, on Flickr\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"couscous salad\" height=\"375\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2798\/4522702128_8b021cd439.jpg\" width=\"500\" \/><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<p>She made a couscous salad that was fantastic. I should probably get the recipe from her, but to be honest I&#8217;d rather she just made it for me. Hee hee. And a very tasty tofu dish.

Someone brought a lemon cheesecake (made with cashews and dates) which was AMAZING.
