I make this recipe every Thanksgiving. It’s a very simple recipe and very easy to make me again. Yesterday I made the non-vegan way but there’s certain things in the recipe I do change. I’m going to put the actual recipe up and then write what I change. I’ve been making this recipe easily for 20 years. 2lbs carrots boiled in water until soft. I like to use baby carrots. You can actually put in as much as you want…
If you’ve never heard of Jackfruit, it is a vegan meat alternative. It is grown on trees in the fig, mulberry species family, native to southwest India. According to Wikipedia: The flesh of the jackfruit is starchy and fibrous and is a source of dietary fiber. The flavor is comparable to a combination of apple, pineapple, mango, and banana I’ve come across pulled pork type recipes for Jackfruit but haven’t tried them. I finally have the ingredients to make this…

Everyone around me seemed to take a deep breath now that I’m not fully vegan anymore. On Thanksgiving I let a couple of things slide, but the only things I really added to my diet is fish, low-fat ground turkey and chicken. I pulled out all rice. I’m sticking to quinoa or bulgur or the lower calorie higher fiber grains as per weight watchers. Other than that change, I’m still making my vegan recipes. I still try to keep the…

I’d rather have this cake though, yum… Cranberry Carrot Cake with Chocolate Ganache Ingredients 1⅛…
This will mark my 11 th month being vegan. December is my year anniversary. I went vegan for health reasons, not for the animal cruelty reason. HOWEVER, the only reason I didn’t go because of animal cruelty is because I could NEVER watch something like that and eat again and I know it. I love animals and if that makes me sound foolish or ignorant to the vegan world, I’m sorry. Anyway, vegan opinions set aside, I made the rash…
This is definitely been a new one for me. I probably have been on and off weight watchers since I’ve been about 10. There’s nothing I really don’t know about dieting, especially the weight watchers plans. However this one actually requires a lot of thought. The current plan, called smart points, is a protein-based plan. Meaning, lean meats are the lowest points. Carbohydrates, even the whole-grain complex ones, a much higher points. The vegan diet, obviously, does not eat any meats….

I made this recipe and I have to be honest,I hated the taste with the sun dried tomatoes. However I learned a very handy tip when cooking. If food taste too acidic a sprinkle of baking powder can regulate the taste of any sauce or soup so you can save it. I made this a second time without the sun dried tomatoes and it was excellent. Have a wonderful fall Sunday. Harvest Moon Squash Soup Ingredients 1 medium butternut squash…
