C – Growing up Cambodian (Khmer), I ate a lot of meat. There weren’t too many vegetarian meals. If there were, we would ask for meat. When I started meditating, I asked my dad if he could try making vegetarian Khmer food. He wasn’t sure it could be done. The … Continue reading
C – I really can’t believe I am going to make an entire week of vegetarian soups and stews. No meat what-so-ever. I really hope I can do this. It’s going to be a lot of soup … and no meat. I love meat. But, I have been on a … Continue reading

C – It’s a Cambodian breakfast. Rice soup in the morning. “It helps with digestion,” my mom says. She loves it and eats it every morning. She love it plain. Just very-well-cooked rice and water. I hate it plain. It’s like eating oatmeal plain. I can only eat it when … Continue reading
