Have you ever had to host a dinner party with vegan or vegetarian guests? Since I pride myself on being able to make crowd pleasing dishes that are unassuming healthy dishes for parties, I’ve had friends come to me for advice on what to serve for friends with special diets. I’ve learned what corners can and cannot be cut [...]
During the early days of YouTube (think 2007), beauty haul videos were very popular. Girls would show off the makeup that they purchased or accessories purchased from Forever 21. Five years later, they still finish on top. Occasionally I do food hauls to show you new finds at the grocery store or just what my [...]
At Expo East, I only took pictures of my favorite products. Here are a few that I tried and was obsessed with. You probably haven’t heard of most brands, which is because they are small and new! You can buy most online however. These flackers were amazing. Raw, vegan flax seed crackers may not sound [...]
Last night for dinner I decided to take part in #meatlessmonday! I made a Mexican salad with Lightlife Smart Ground Mexican style, Avocado Vinaigrette from Whole Foods and Bragg’s nutritional yeast for cheesy flavoring. Conveniently, I had left over peppers and onions from Sunday night fajitas to use as well. I really love the Avocado [...]
I think I finally mastered the perfect baked sweet potato french fry recipe. It’s simple and delicious. There is one ingredient that I found to season them perfectly. ONE. I like them crispy, slightly burned with a kick. To achieve this, preheat your oven at 400F. Next, slice up the sweet potatoes with the skin [...]
If I am ever diagnosed with cancer, I will become a vegan. Maybe I’ll ever become a raw vegan. What bothers me about my own statement is that if I feel so strongly about the benefits of a lifestyle, why wait until I find myself in a problem? As the speaker of the lunch I [...]
Since I am a nomad without a kitchen, most of my meals have been premade. I tried Hail Caesar Shaker from Whole Foods yesterday for lunch. This was my second shaker from the “Health Starts Here” line. At a conference this past fall, I found out that the Whole Foods diet is anti olive oil [...]
I’m not a vegan but I have found that I love vegan products. They tend to be made by health conscious companies who use minimally processed ingredients and do not include artificial ingredients, always a plus! Besides certain baked goods, popchips, tempeh, and Shirtaki noodles, among my favorite vegan alternatives is protein powder. My two [...]

Yesterday, I did not feel like blogging. I had a disappointment hangover from a certain even that played out on National television from Indianapolis. Moving forward… I used Random.org to select a winner last night for the Polar FT60 Heart Rate Monitor. Congrats to Brittany for winning! I was so happy to see all positive [...]
