Good news for the locals…Sublime has added quite a few new items to the menu. Personally, I can’t wait to go and taste the potstickers stuffed with cabbage, green onion, bok choy, rice noodles and shitake mushrooms with a ponzu dipping sauce. They have also added Gardein sliders, tempeh Reuben sandwiches, broccomoli (a mixture of avocado, broccoli, chickpeas, garlic and lemon) a veggie burger and Thai and pesto pizzas. Sublime, located at 1431 N. Federal Highway in Ft. Lauderdale is THE place to find yummy, plant-based foods in a casual yet somewhat upscale environment. They have a great bar, and anyone that’s anyone, that enjoys a plant-based diet can be found there, such as Sir Paul McCartney and Pamela Anderson. The owner is a delightful woman who comes around to say hi to everyone and donates her proceeds to animal welfare foundations. Having been there only twice, I can’t wait to go back and try some of the new items! If a vegan or vegetarian asks YOU for a restaurant suggestion in South Florida, this IS the place!
Regardless of what you eat, we ALL drink water! (We better be). Lots of people ask me my opinion on that oxygenated water. Here is my final answer. Oxygen can only be taken into our lungs. No, we cannot drink it! Feel like you need more oxygen in your body? TAKE SOME DEEP BREATHS and remember oxygen can ONLY be processed by our lungs, NOT our stomachs. When you think about it that way, it makes perfect sense! Drink your water, breath your oxygen.
And as long as we are talking food and drink, I beg you to stop drinking the diet soda. Over and over studies are reporting that it might actually be doing you much more harm than the good of saving some calories. The studies are reporting all kinds of negative findings from disrupting cell function in the liver and the brain, to raising blood-glucose levels (the leading factor for diabetes) to contributing to osteoporosis and just plain making us fat! I have never been able to drink a diet soda. It always left a really funny taste in my mouth and gave me headaches, when I tried. Trust me, in college, I tried a lot. I learned early on, cutting sugar out completely was a lot better for me than any artificial sweetener. All you have to do is Google aspartame and that will probably help you cut the diet soda habit. Studies show that people who drink 2 diet sodas a day see their waist size grow at a –get this– 500 percent greater rate than those who don’t drink any. OUCH! Diet soda may very well be contributing to the obesity epidemic in our country.
As earthquakes and hurricanes rock our country this week, I hope wherever you are you are safe! To all my loved ones along the eastern seaboard, hang on cause here comes Irene. Take care of yourselves, each other and all your furry friends and try a meatless meal day. You may just like it!
