Good morning. Summer is coming and I thought it’s time to put out summer recipes. Having MS, by eating something cold, it helps keep my body from overheating. I also am a big fan of frozen grapes in the summer. Just put the grapes in the freezer and enjoy. The middle becomes like an ice or slushy. This recipe below is simple, quick and refreshing. I got this recipe from Forks Over Knives. Watermelon Basil Ice Ingredients 6 cups fresh…
Who doesn’t need a chocolate fix every now and again? This was a simple, quick and tasty way to get it. Just put your ingredients together throw it in the microwave and presto!!! It’s not as tasty as the vegan oatmeal chocolate chip cookies https://multipleexperiences.org/2017/04/08/vegan-oatmeal-chocolate-chip-cookies/ , but this from start to finish took 10 minutes. Can’t beat that to get a nice vegan dessert. My little notes are in bold. This is a a Forks over Knoves recipe I highly recommend…
OK I have to start this post explaining that I was expecting this to be like my all hated veggie burger. https://multipleexperiences.org/2017/03/22/i-am-protesting-the-veggie-burger/. I really been trying to find something other than my favorite soup that I still make every week. https://multipleexperiences.org/2017/02/01/vegan-creamy-potato-curry-soup/ Or my no-tuna salad I eat all the time https://multipleexperiences.org/2017/03/16/forks-over-knives-vegan-no-tuna-salad-sandwich/ because a person can’t live off of 2 recipes and call it a day. Anyway, for me the recipe was super easy. I just threw all the ingredients into my food processor and…
I made this recipe last night. Ate 2 bowls for dinner. I cooked it a little longer because I like it when then pasta gets crunchy on top. I used a full bag of brown rice pasta spirals instead of measuring out 1-1/2 cups and it was dry. I’d recommend using MORE milk and cashews for the sauce. I ended up adding a little Daiya, vegan cheese, on the top. It isn’t plant based that way but it wasnt much. Also…
I have have a new favorite recipe. I’ve wanted to try this for a while and I finally whipped it together last night for dinner. First let me say, except for the Tahini, it was super easy. Yesterday was the first time I ever used Tahini. I ended up using my mini Cuisinart to mix it together, as instructed on the can. That was impossible to do. Is it supposed to be that difficult?The inside was hard and the top…
I wouldn’t post a recipe I haven’t either tried or was about to try. I made this recipe this afternoon with the help of my daughter. It was a little difficult for hands to whip and mash with multiple sclerosis, so I enlisted a sous chef. I must say, as I was preparing this dish, i really didn’t have high hopes. I thought it was going to taste bland. I am happy to say, I was wrong. It was really…
Forgive me today because I am extremely tired. My flight from Florida yesterday was supposed to get me into New York at 10 PM got me into New York at 12 AM due to thunderstorms. I ended up coming home at 1 AM. By the time I settle myself down it was after 2 AM and I was up again by seven. Today I’m not going to write a long blog, just going to give another vegan recipe. **I have…
Anyone that knows me knows I don’t cook. I just don’t like it but I know my way around the kitchen. As my multiple sclerosis worsened cooking became even more difficult. I have limited time I can stand on my feet, over a stove or cook top. I also have limited time I can cut and chop before my hands fatigue. Many times I will prepare a dish only to not be able to eat because my hands literally cannot…
I have yet to master eating out or going to someone else’s home since becoming vegan. When I say master I really should say try. I’ve dined out maybe 3 times in the last 2 months and my meal consisted of a salad and a vegetable side. I normally try to eat something first so I am not that hungry when I go. When I’ve gone to a friends house I don’t eat there at all. Tonight is Super Bowl…
I had the best physical therapy session ever!!! Just one of those days where my legs were super strong and didn’t fatigue to the point I couldn’t walk, like they normally do. I even had enough energy to get to the food store. I needed a few ingredients make my favorite soup. Thought I’d do something different today and share a plant-based vegan soup recipe. I was just so happy how well today went I also had to share my…
