COOKED Vegan Veggie casserole- No Pasta-

  Made this for my Easter dinner as I was going over to in-laws who are not vegan.  This is what you will need

1 large sweet potato/yam
1/2 butternut squash or acorn unless it is small use whole thing
1 zucchini
I used some Keg Steakhouse seasoning I had lying around a good mix of herbs, salts, and pepper.
1 Tblsp. of Extra Virgin olive oil or you could use Avocado or Coconut.
I tossed this all about in a corning ware dish and baked at 350 degrees for 45Mins.

Yes this is not considered raw I many times do some cooked vegan dishes as well just for a change.
I had this and my sister in-law made some roasted beets with olive oil and seasonings which was perfect.  For dessert while they ate homemade carrot cake I munched on some almond&date rolls.

When you know your going some place a vegan option may not be possible prepare.

Tasty Baby Bok Choy Salad with Sesame Soy Dressing

This is what I concocted for dinner last night and it turned out rather good so I thought I would share it.  This is what you will need too accomplish this taste sensation:

6-8 Baby Bok Choy or Shanghai Bok Choy
2 heads of broccoli 1 big or 2 small
1/2 cucumber
1/2 bunch of fresh cilantro
1/2 container of Renee's  Vegan Soy Sesame Dressing this is fresh stuff so in fridge section.  You could also make your own if you wish this was used out of convience leftover dressing.


Chop the bok choy into a large dice rough chop nothing to it
Broccoli take a knife a chop the tops off the staff into tiny florets like bite size
Cucumber simple dice cut in half lengthwise and than large bite size dice
Cilantro rough chop this is for flavor




This was a rather simple salad nothing fancy or elaborate but the taste was there if I had them would have thrown in some pickled banana peppers and maybe some mushrooms.

These recipes are some of the best limited ingredients so your stomach is not like what are you trying to do to me easy to digest and happy colon with all the fiber.  This may seem like a lot of food but when your vegan consuming large salads is just part of the lifestyle low calorie means you must eat more to get the calories required to function. 

I cracked some Himalayan sea salt and fresh cracked pepper to really send this into the stratosphere of taste.

3 day relapse during my Cleanse

Having gone through some family tragedy I relapsed into my meat eating realm for 3 days yes I know what was I thinking going for some many days and no meat and than going back to it.  The truth of the matter it came down to a comfort aspect many times I have turned to food for comfort and sometimes stress which has resulted in the weight issue to begin with.   I had a personal thing going on and therefore overdose of stress and the availability of some tasty food the temptations outweighed the guilt.  Back at home and renewed in my passion for weight loss and not consuming animal products has been revived.

Back in the Swing of Things

Well hello folks I'm back in the swing of things as much as I possibly can be;  the last while you have seen some of the transition vlogs from YouTube and than also others I have found over the years and thought you would enjoy them.  All I can say living this way to start with can be tough getting over your food cravings and temptations that surround us when we get groceries.  The reality is any changes we make in life are going to be tough but if done right overtime the changes we make will attribute to better health, loss of weight and many times I will tell you better mood and sleep.  Changes to the way we live can be hard but so is hitting the gym for your next workout or going to a new Dr. for the first time.  The temptations can linger for quite sometime so be aware of this the best thing is to not have those little triggers lying around which can be tough if your spouse or family is not changing their lifestyles with you.  The reality is however the more you embrace the raw food lifestyle your significant other and family will see positive changes ask you what is happening or what your doing and could entice them to go for it themselves.  I hope if your battling weight or even some kind of illness give this a shot the only issue that could arise is overall better health.

God Bless.

What Is Veganism? [After Watching This You Will Go Vegan]

I found this and thought hey this could be something that could make you understand why I'm converting to this lifestyle.

Just something to really broaden your mind on the whole meat industry and why this lifestyle not only can be a positive for yourself but also maybe make you feel proud that your not supporting this cruelty anymore and eating foods that could increase the risk of multiple illnesses.
