I made a decision yesterday to join weight watchers again. I’m up about 10 lbs from goal weight which isn’t terrible but that weight has been creeping up slowly since I stopped working out in June. Yes, vegans can gain weight. I’m just eating a lot of vegan crap and I can’t seem to get it under control on my own. I need the accountability of facing a scale each week. Unfortunately, sometimes when I’m on my own and I’m in…
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…
Weather getting cooler, time for soup I was pleasantly surprised with this soup. I was expecting that lentil smush that most split pea soups are but this one wasn’t mush. It was like soup with substance. Maybe because of the potatoes. It was a very tasty soup and I love split pea soup mushy kinds and all hopefully you enjoy it to it was super easy.

I haven’t talked about this topic in a while. Yep, I am still vegan, except my coffee. I’m still adding a little bit of half-and-half, so shun me. I just cannot handle that non-dairy milk alone in my coffee cup. Other than that, I have no issues, no cheats, no tastes no nothing. My weight? Well I gave up my scale and I checked in this month and it’s holding steady at 150.5 lbs. Not my thinnest number but definitely…
It’s Sunday and I like to share recipes on Sunday. This one has to be a special one, a first. In the 10 months I’ve been vegan, my daughter tried this, liked this and is taking some of the sauce with her to school. This can only mean it has to be good, and it really was.

When I decided to eat vegan, I heard from many people; you won’t get enough protein, you be deficient in vitamins or you’ll be hungry because you can only eat salad. I’m now vegan for 9 months and I have proof that none of that is true. When I first became vegan I did loose about 8 pounds but that weight has returned and doesn’t fluctuate much. I can attribute some of that to a change in exercise due to…
I got this recipe from the minmalist baker. https://minimalistbaker.com/vegan-sloppy-joes/ I made it the other day and was so happy. I tried it in a sandwich but that was just way to messy. I ended up putting it over brown rice and it was perfect. Yummy, tangy, with a little kick. I promise this recipe won’t disappoint. My one warming would be the lentils. I let my lentils be a little under cooked so they had a little crunch to them….
I’m very proud of myself, I haven’t stepped on the scale in a month. Today for this post, I stepped on. My weight 150.3. Technically, I am down 2lbs from a month ago, but my body usually hovers around the 150.0 mark naturally. For clarification purposes. I am 5’2″ so according to the charts, I am overweight. I am a size 8 in jeans, even own some 6 and some 10. I decided a month ago I had enough of…

Except my morning coffee, I’ve had no issues becoming vegan. I actually like it. It definitely has its challenges though. I was at a graduation party yesterday, of course, I couldn’t eat a thing. I always prepare beforehand when going on these ventures though, so for me it doesn’t become an issue. Yesterday, I ate before I went so I wouldn’t be hungry. At other events, I’ve brought my own food to heat up or brought a vegan veggie burger…
