A blog on life by vegans.
This all started when I found a recipe…. Sounds like a pretty typical way to start whipping up a quiche, right? Except I found the recipe on a Saturday and didn’t have all the ingredients for it. When I got all the ingredients on the following Tuesday I had no idea where I saw the recipe. I flipped through every magazine, every image “pinned” in that time frame, the screenshots… Keep Reading
As delicious as this Sunset Juice is, I have a love/hate relationship with juicing. I love just about any fruit in it’s juiced form, but MAN the labor of love required to get that juice is outrageous! Am I doing it wrong? HELP! I try to focus on the benefits of juicing as opposed to the big ole sticky mess it results in. Some of the benefits of juicing: nutrient… Keep Reading
BRUNCH If you follow me on ANY platform, you already know. You know I freaking love brunch and breakfast foods. Who doesn’t, though?! This can be done in so many ways, but hopefully this inspires you to whip up a giant brunch for you and your loves at least once in a while. The best mornings start slowly and end with a mini breakfast food feast. It’ll put everyone in… Keep Reading
I’m feeling fantastic! I haven’t had coffee in a week and a half. Insert shocked emoji here… That is, until I went to Starbucks this morning and got a decaf with soy milk and sugar free vanilla…. THAT was my first, though! LOL I guess I should say I haven’t been caffeinated in a week and a half. I tried flavored water and smoothies and mushroom coffee and sitting with… Keep Reading
Alllll of my research proved that majority of my symptoms matched candida overgrowth and leaky gut. I really don’t like to say that term “leaky gut” and I hated saying it to Griffin in fears he’d not only be grossed out by it but would think this was some kind of fake term crafted for people to address problems they don’t actually have. I’ve since come to terms that if… Keep Reading
The more troubling concerns that have recently been striking We moved to the Pacific Northwest. HELLLOOO vegan junk food! For the past little while I’ve been eating a lot of refined carbohydrates and sugars. I still believe I’ve had a really good balance of healthy vegan foods thrown in there, so I do believe my gut problems are a long-awaited accumulation of past health concerns going ignored. Diet aside, the… Keep Reading
I know it can be hard for a vegan to admit that they too get sick, but that’s not me. I’m here to help you and in this instance it requires helping myself first. I finally posted on Instagram that I’m taking charge of my situation. I chose to share this with you because I have only been helped by those who chose to share their experiences too. To avoid… Keep Reading
ONE YEAR here in the middle of the Evergreen State! That’s bonkers. Before you say I’m crazy for putting money/work/time/effort into this house, hear me out. One year ago, Griffin checked out a farming job that came with a free house to live in. We drove an hour and a half to the middle of nowhere to the “interview”, which really wasn’t an interview if you ask this business graduate…. Keep Reading
Well, maybe it’s not certified “world’s best” nor has it won awards or honors….. But it’s a recipe I’ve tried multiple ways, dozens of times, and it never fails to be something I want to share with everyone. To share with THE WORLD. Because it’s so good. I found this recipe a little over a year ago, the first time I made VEGAN banana bread, and I basically hit… Keep Reading
One time I soaked oats in water and drained the water from the oats hours later and called it plant-based milk…. It was gross and mostly like discolored water. Aaaaand I insisted to Griffin that is, indeed, how you make oat milk. Bahaha now that I’ve unnecessarily confessed my embarrassing mistakes to you folks let me tell you how to actually make plant milk. It takes way less than “hours”… Keep Reading
