No, not all vegetarians are healthy, just like not all meat-lovers are a steak knife away from a heart attack. However, according to the Academy…
“I’ve been drinkin’ watermelon…” One hundred percent real watermelon juice. Refereshing! Avacado roles (the shell is coconut), vegan tuna salad, collard greens and spicy cauliflower. Everything is raw except the vegan tuna salad.
Eighteen days into my 30 Day Vegan Challenge and life is still good. Kale and Brussels Sprouts are my favorite and curry and garlic are my new best friends. Caveat: curry and garlic both come out of your pores. The meal below was delicious. Curry Raw Veggies, Garlic Kale, and Couscous Salad. The Green […]
Yesterday, I met a friend for dinner. We ate at a tapas restaurant called CAVA in Capitol Hill, DC. Surprisingly, I had no problem with vegan options and the waiter was super helpful.

Three days into my vegan challenge and life is good! I’m not hungry and tasted only one dish that wasn’t pleasing to my palate.

The temperature is starting to dip and rainy days are ahead which means it’s time for comfort foods to keep a belly warm. I’m not a big fan of pasta but I like the versatility that it brings to my meals. I’ve been looking for a pasta alternative and I think I’ve found the next best thing […]
