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 never thought at the age of 47 this would be my life yet I remember being scared when I was diagnosed of being in a wheelchair. I knew what multiple sclerosis could bring about and I feared that when I hit the 10 year mark everything would go downhill rapidly. That wasn’t the case because there were medication developed that helped to slow down the MS progression and more and more have been developed. My life took on a…

Well it’s back to the normal everyday routine. The holidays are over. They went fast this year. Actually the year went fast. 2019 is officially the new calendar year. Do you feel any different? I didn’t think so. I was back in the pool first thing this morning. It isn’t too cold in New York so getting out of the pool wasn’t too bad. Felt good to be back in the water. Today we have to cook. Since going back…
There are a few things I’d like to happen in 2019 besides happiness and health. I’d love a cure for multiple sclerosis but I’m a realist so my vision board needs to be too. My handicap van. This is still not a certainty because of funding but it is number one on my vision board out of necessity. My finances. To be debt free and have a surplus in the bank. My weight perception. I’d like to be healthy and…
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 tried Keto for a few months and it did work for me at first. I did take off weight but eating like that wasn’t something I could do on a long term basis. As I got sick of the food, I started eating bad. I just don’t like cheese and butter all that much after not eating it for over a year. At first it was good like a new treat but that wore off quickly. I did like…
I am finishing up the meat in my house and going back to a more plant based vegan diet. I switched to Keto to change things up and it did. I lost the most of the 10lbs I gained over the last year but I don’t like really eating this way. I miss my fruits and veggies. I miss my soups. I hate eating the cheese and I hate the butter. It was good at first but now I’m just…
Wouldn’t be me if I wasn’t extreme. Vegan to Keto, that’s extreme. Why would I even think about this? A movie called the Magic Pill on Netflix. Ironically, it was watching Forks over Knives on Netflix that I became Vegan. My diet isn’t working anymore and hasn’t been working. I’ve been maintaining a ten pound unexplained weight gain following a plant-based diet and tracking on weight watchers. This past week I put on an additional 4 pounds. I don’t eat…
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…
