7 benefits things I’ve discovered since becoming vegan

7 benefits things I’ve discovered since becoming vegan

I became vegan on December 2, 2016. I made the choice because I have multiple sclerosis. I am secondary progressive multiple sclerosis which means I continue to get worse slowly over time.  My symptoms vary and are more or less severe depending on the day, however it’s never great. I decided to go vegan to eat healthier, lower the inflammation in my body and to see if I’d feel any better. This is what I’ve found so far. You have…

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 may have finally found a good brownie recipe that doesn’t need tweaking.  I had to post it. I got this on stumblupon.http://www.nutritionicity.com/recipes/cookie-dough-blondies/ . I’d add my comments in red, as I normally do, but the WordPress button to do this has disappeared. Hmmmm. So maybe I’ll do it in italics. Ingredients 1 tablespoon golden flaxseed meal (plus 3 tablespoons water to make flax egg) 1 15 oz. can or 1 1/2 cups great northern beans (rinsed and drained – cannellini may…

I know another recipe, but you have to understand… I don’t cook!!!! This is a really big deal for me.  I’ve become a cooking queen. Ok maybe not a queen but a really eager learner. I’m enjoying trying these new things being vegan.  I’m sure vegans out there have made recipes like this thousands of times. I haven’t really cooked in about 10 years. My not cooking had really nothing to do with my multiple sclerosis. Back then it wasn’t…

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…

I had a dream last night I ate a chicken sandwich. Of all the animal products I stopped eating, chicken is the least missed. I hate chicken. I’ve lived my whole life on a diet and chicken or fish were always the lowest calorie protein. Chicken was the least expensive. I’ve had enough of chicken. I even worked in chicken restaurants, Boston Market, and Ranch 1. I hate chicken. If I was going to eat something, let it be a…

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…

First thing is this recipe was found on the Minimalist Baker website. http://minimalistbaker.com/vegan-gluten-free-black-bean-brownies/. Lots of fun recipes there to look around and try. For me to be on any kind of diet, or non diet, I have to have something to appeal to my sweet tooth. My favorite thing through Hungryroot was the black bean brownie mix but to ship just one or two of their products was expensive and buying a whole bunch of their products to get the free…
