A blog on life by vegans.
(To skip my rambling scroll down to bulleted points!) Our dogs, Marble and Bo, are our best friends. Maybe this is a story for another day, but Bo was Griffin’s chocolate son before I came along. His life pre-step mom was mainly hunting/hunting dog in training, and being a good boy in the back yard where he lived. He shared his kennel with his brother from another mother, BJ. BJ… Keep Reading
If you’ve been around for a minute you probably read about my journey to heal my gut which in turn healed a plethora of health issues. Since educating myself on how to keep my gut healthy and bacteria in check, I’ve known exactly how to keep myself feeling well and clear-minded. It’s a surprisingly powerful feeling! I decided to round up a few things I’m eating/drinking this summer to satisfy… Keep Reading
Thank you to Belvoir Fruit Farms for sponsoring this recipe!
(Big thanks to Belvoir Fruit Farms for sponsoring this post!) Mother’s day is this weekend! I’d say you’re welcome for the reminder, but Lord knows you’ve been seeing it all over social media! What can I say, moms have never been ones to let us forget anything… 🙂 Part of the lifestyle I’m currently embracing is being less wasteful and ensuring my purchases are coming from healthy, natural, plant-based, less-wasteful… Keep Reading
Do you ever get those child-like cravings for a gooey sweet PB&J? No, just me? I knoooooow it can’t be just me… This is a really good and wholesome grown-up version of a classic peanut butter and jelly sandwich. These would make a very impressive vegan treat to share with friends and fam! The slices can be whipped up in a matter of minutes and eaten gooey, although I recommend… Keep Reading
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
