My Vegetarian/Vegan Journey

Education is my biggest motivater on this Vegan Journey and makes me stronger each day.  I love what I am eating now and feel so much better.  They say the teacher will appear when the student is ready.   I am ready!

 I am planning and discovering sources online, which contributes to my success.  Keeping a hand written notebook of recipes in my book bag is the best thing I have done since starting towards being a vegan. 

What sealed the deal for me was watching "forks over knives" documentary. I wasn't feeling my best and was having a hard time getting myself back to normal after having my son, now almost two years old.  So I prayed for the answer, I knew it was diet that must change due to the dips in the day after a meals.  So out comes this movie and I was blown away, with the exact information needed to show me this is my truth and what I already knew that worked for me years ago.

So to say the least, I am obsessed with my new recipes that fits my taste buds!  I never know what I am going to make for my meals, somedays that works for me and other days I pick up the notebook.  It is called being armed! I also follow as much as possible the Blood Type Diet. Especially now.  I can't say it is a perfect road but one that has given me so much energy to keep up with my family, work and fun activities.

 Amy's Organic makes frozen dinners (vegan), that I love!  My fav's so far, are the Enchilada's and their is a frozen cheeseless pizza!!!!!! that saves me.  I have eaten these for breakfast!  Too easy and so yummy.  I also try to add steamed veges & brown rice every other day.  I then add these to my frozen dinners. Almost forgot...I add pineapple to my cheeseless pizza :)   It works out great ;) I also found out from a friend yesterday, Amy's has another pizza that is wheat free...I am so excited! WE just never know what the day brings ;)  so make it a great one!

So where ever you are on your journey, honor it and live in the moment, no matter what is going on around you.  Treat yourself well, good food ~ makes good minds!  I still agree (for me) I am what I eat!  So today I wanted to share with you my frozen Rasberry Bliss w/ Cacoa Nibs!

Raspberry Mousse! Only 4 Ingredients


 This just came to me one day. With the weather warming,  I was looking for a refreshing cool dessert instead of another smoothie. I also intuitively felt I needed good fats in my diet. I haven't had very much lately. Avocados came to mind! Been on a strawberry kick, (not very high in sugar compared to many other fruits) so it will have to be raspberries this time. I am now ready.

  I placed two avacodos, vanilla, stevia and frozen raspberries in the food processor w/ s-blade (remove the two seeds from the avacodo) and blend until smooth. I added about 1/4c of water...my berries were frozen...so adjust your water according and Enjoy!

I even had this for breakfast ;)
