July 9-15, 2018 (Meals)

Tortilla Pizza with Garlic sauce

Lime and Cashew Slaw

Roasted Corn, tomato and basil rice pasta salad

Deconstructed spring roll bowl

Vegetarian PIZZA!

Sweet potato, Brussels and toasted taco tofu bowl

There is something magical about eating all of these wonderful plant-based foods. I cannot even begin to imagine going back to where we were only a short time ago. (Thirty-one days, to be exact!)

You can see the recipes for the photos above over on Pinterest by clicking here.

I do hope you find something that will inspire you to try one of them this week with your family. Oh! Quick tip: purchase the FIRM Tofu and dry it well with a paper towel prior to cooking. You want it as dry as possible…it helps make a crispy end product!

Happy health,
April

Meal Plan: July 16-22, 2018

Spaghetti squash chow mein

Corn Chowder (vegan)

Mushroom and broccoli stir fry

So, I lied! I said in my post that I would be eating RAW VEGAN while Wes was on vacation. Instead, I saw all of these gorgeous meals on Pinterest and I wanted to try them. And since I am “single” this week, I can do whatever the heck I want. 🙂 

Do the research

Since we have made the decision to eat more of a plant-based lifestyle, I find there are a lot of misconceptions out there. I have also found there are a lot of opinions about Vegan eating especially. In fact, I have to say, we are on day 22 and for the last 22-days I have heard the strangest things about eating. Now, I am a researcher. I sit at the computer for hours watching documentaries and reading article and studies. Rarely do I take the word of one person to be the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

When I was researching health, about a month ago, I did research the keto diet. I watched the Netflix documentary, The Magic Pill. You too can hop on the internet and explore the wild, wild world of health. Be careful though, at times I did feel like Alice falling down the rabbit hole!

Wouldn’t it be awesome if butter and bacon were “health foods”?

We had some of the most flavorful meals this week! You can see all of the recipes we chose here which will redirect you to my pinterest page and all of the lovely meals we made.

I did make and use the Vegan Alfredo Sauce! The lasagna was creamy, dreamy and honest to goodness, neither Wes or myself missed the meat!

I do hope these help inspire you and until next time, eat well,

I am not starving…

I thought, before I started this adventure, that I would be so hungry all of the time. I thought without meats I would

REVIEW: Vegan Tuscan Rigatoni

I must say, this dish really surprised me! If you want the recipe click here. The sauce is dairy-free and tastes so much like cheese, I felt guilty for a moment! I pre-made the sauce, Sunday afternoon so it only took me about fifteen minutes to complete this one and again…so good!

If you enjoy pasta and cheese sauces…try this one! I highly recommend it!

Feeling Saucy!

We were both in the kitchen preparing sauces and dressings for our week of Vegan. We really liked the raw vegan and so far, the recipes we have chosen for this week look super amazing. I know, most of you who follow the blog understand that this is a trial

DAY 3: Raw Vegan

I feel amazing!

Not kidding! As I sat down this morning to reflect on my mental clarity and overall feelings of wellness, I have to say…I haven’t felt this good in quite some time!

I did forget to put down
