My daughter is graduating from high school today. It is a very busy day. Originally I was going to post a song for her, but then I decided my blog’s anniversary is July 1st, let me instead post the most popular blog of the year. So here it is, 57 reasons why a vegan diet is a good thing. Yes, I’m sure that someone could find 57 reasons why it’s a bad thing but I am vegan so who cares…

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…
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…
