Good morning and Happy Friday. I think I should be saying TGIF. I didn’t do much this week but I still feel a little drained. I am currently looking at the water which is glistening in the sun. Looks beautiful but I know it’s cold outside. It is still so wonderful to look at especially since it’s been cloudy most of this week. So far there has been no movement on the plots for that hotel that will block my…
I was sent an email by my beautiful cousin about this company I never heard of Sakara. She told me I needed to check them out. Anything my cousin recommends is usually worth looking into, so I checked it out. https://www.sakara.com/. It was everything I’ve been looking for in my vegan lifestyle. I wanted a really good food delivery because let’s be honest cooking with progressing multiple sclerosis is becoming harder and harder. My meals become repetitious because it’s my…
I slept yesterday for 8 hours straight. No bathroom breaks. I can’t even remember the last time that happened. Eight hours of straight, uninterrupted sleep. I didn’t believe it was possible anymore. I wonder if my new heating/ac unit had anything to do with it. Probably not since I don’t think that has any effect on the bladder. I’ve been so tired. I don’t even want to write about it anymore. The topic itself I find exhausting. I rather talk…
I’m tired. I start a lot of blogs like that, don’t I? I have put myself through an entire month of working out every single day. Was it worth it? Hell yeah!!! I love challenging myself through workouts. I always did.  Of course everything is completely modified because of my MS, but it’s still incredibly hard for me. On top of that though, I was busy this week. I had my friend from the building up visiting. I had…
A few weeks ago I made the decision to go back to plant based eating. Going back to Plant based eating. I wanted to get away from processed foods that once again started to fill me refrigerator and cabinets. I follow closely with Forks over Knives. https://www.forksoverknives.com/. I have their app and use a majority of their recipes. I also love Overcoming Multiple Sclerosis (OMS) https://overcomingms.org/recovery-program/diet. This is also a great site focused on fruits and vegetables, whole grains and…
I haven’t given a recipe in a long time. I made this plus 3 others this week. All Vegan and Plant Based. I loved this one.

I was cleaning out the refrigerator yesterday and realized I had tons of apples. Why not make Apple Chips. So easy to do and works for every diet. Baked Apple Chips Ingredients 2 large unpeeled apples ¼ cup date sugar ½ tsp ground cinnamon ¼ tsp ground nutmeg Method Preheat oven to 200°F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. Using a mandoline or serrated knife, cut apples crosswise into ⅛-inch-thick slices. Arrange slices in a single layer on…
I love my soups. I eat them almost everyday. I have not been 100% plant based lately but Forks Over Knives is still my favorite app for soups and stews. I highly recommend getting the app to anyone. Creamy Carrot Soup Ingredients • ¼ cup cashews • 1 medium onion • 1½ lbs. carrots • 1 red bell pepper • 1 sprig fresh rosemary • 1 sprig fresh thyme • 1 leaf fresh sage • 4 cloves garlic • 1…
Made this soup from WW, formally weight watchers, the other day. It was really good. A nice hearty filling soup perfect for the winter weather. I substituted regular potatoes for sweet potatoes because I’m not a fan as well as natural almond butter for the peanut butter. This might be a new favorite. Ingredients: Cooking spray 2 Onions, medium size chopped One Green Pepper, chopped 1/2 Lb Sweet Potatoes, peeled and chopped into 1/2 cubes 2 Carrots, chopped  2…
I love mango and this is so simple it shouldn’t even be considered a recipe. Such a good summer time dessert. Mango Ice Cream Ingredients • 4 medium mangos • 1 banana • ground cardamom Method • Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat. Spread mango and banana chunks onto mat. Cover and freeze at least 6 hours or overnight. • • Remove fruit from freezer and let stand 10 minutes to soften slightly. Working in batches, transfer fruit…
