Made something new this week with my Forks Over Knives recipe app. Thought I’d share it. I love granola bars. This was a great breakfast. I used almond butter instead of peanut butter. Peanut Butter Granola Bars Ingredients ½ cup smooth peanut butter ¼ cup pure maple syrup ¼ cup brown rice syrup 1 tsp vanilla extract 2 cups rolled oats ½ tsp sea salt ½ tsp ground cinnamon Method Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8-inch square baking pan…
Matzo is one of my favorite things next to the matzo ball. Nothing is better than matzo ball soup on the Jewish holidays and certainly if you aren’t feeling well. Herbed Vegan Matzo Ball Soup Ingredients 5 matzo crackers 1 cup cooked quinoa 1½ tsp ground flaxseeds 1½ tsp lemon juice ½ tsp garlic powder ½ tsp onion powder ½ tsp Italian seasoning ½ tsp sea salt 3 pinches freshly ground black pepper ¼ tsp baking soda 1 small onion …
This is one of my favorite salads to eat. I very often skip the avocado and lettuce leaf and eat it as my meal over some bulgar. I like it with the heat. It is like a salsa. Black Bean, Corn & Roasted Red Pepper Lettuce Cups Ingredients • 2 cups frozen roasted corn • 1 15oz. can no-salt-added black beans • 1 mango • 1 cup cherry tomatoes • ½ cup jarred roasted red bell peppers • ¼ cup…

I said I’d post a recipe this week. It’s winter good time for soup. This was an easy super tasty soup. I even used my Doterra Oils in place of the dried spices which gave even extra flavor. I missed my soups. I hope you like it. Packed with vegetables. Lentil Minestrone Ingredients • 1 small onion • ¾ cup dried brown lentils • 1 carrot • 1 stalk celery • 3 cloves garlic • 4 cups vegetable stock •…
I love soup even in the summer. This one was really good and really easy. Had to share. Unfortunately I realized I can’t eat meats regularly and have a normal digestive tract. I’m back to more plant based. https://www.facebook.com/forksoverknives/videos/10155895331624353/ INGREDIENTS 8 small Yukon Gold, white, or russet potatoes (about 2 pounds), cut into ½-inch chunks ½ small onion, peeled and chopped 3 ears fresh corn, kernels removed (about 1¾ cups), cobs reserved 2 medium carrots, peeled and diced 2 stalks…
I made this soup twice this week already. It’s really good and so healthy. Win/Win. I even have a video on this one. Vegan, plant based and weight watchers friendly. Enjoy. https://www.facebook.com/forksoverknives/videos/10155743449849353/ Ingredients: 6 corn tortillas 6 large tomatoes, halved 2 red bell peppers, halved 8 ounces mushrooms, roughly chopped (about 2 cups) ½ yellow onion, roughly chopped 3 cloves garlic, roughly chopped 2 teaspoons ground cumin 2 dried chipotle chiles 5 to 7 sprigs fresh cilantro 2 teaspoons smoked…
I tried out a new recipe so I thought I’d share it. I ended up putting this over a salad yesterday in place of dressing, it was actually very tasty. It’s very hard to find a no oil, vegan/plant-based dressing. They are mostly made with a vinegarbase which is very very acidic. This was a very nice alternative that was unexpected. This would also be really tasty over a baked potato or just plain. Some recipe notes. If you’re using…
I need to thank Jen from Tripping through Treacle’s http://trippingthroughtreacle.com/ Who reminded me of this. If you haven’t followed my blog, for almost a year I became vegan. I did it for health reasons. I wanted to see if it made any difference in my multiple sclerosis. The real reason I ended up stopping is because for some reason I started putting on weight. I ended up joining weight watchers and at the time being vegan was very difficult to…
I think I could just write the title and stop there. It was a big deal for me. I worked very hard to get into the size 8 that I was. More importantly I stayed in that size for eight years. I still have no answers to what’s going on and why my weight keeps coming on the way it is but it is but I can’t stop it. I’m doing all the right things and it’s just not coming…
