Originally I was going to post a song for her, but then I decided my blog’s anniversary is July 1st, let me instead post the most popular blog of the year. So here it is, 57 reasons why a vegan diet is a good thing. Yes, I’m sure that someone could find 57 reasons why it’s a bad thing but I am vegan so who cares…

I was in the mood for creamed corn. It’s one of those foods I love but don’t eat often. I have to be in the mood for it. Once I get the craving for it, I can eat it for days. Knowing that my can of creamed corn in my cupboard could never be vegan, I looked for a recipe…I found a bunch. Whenever something is vegan, you have to remember it won’t be the same as the original however…

The other issue is standing on my feet over the stove. I…

I really been trying to find something other than my favorite soup that I still make every week. https://multipleexperiences.org/2017/02/01/vegan-creamy-potato-curry-soup/ Or my no-tuna salad I eat all the time https://multipleexperiences.org/2017/03/16/forks-over-knives-vegan-no-tuna-salad-sandwich/ because a person can’t live off of 2 recipes and call it a day. Anyway, for me the recipe was super easy. I just threw all the ingredients into my food processor and…
