This week we tried a vegan pulled “pork” sandwich that was featured on Tasty Vegetarian’s facebook page. WOW. The flavors did not disappoint, however the jackfruit, was …messy. (To put it mildly.) Here’s the video, if you are interested: It was very tasty, but sadly, we were missing an ingredient so a trip to the…

I love cooking and I love food. One thing that this venture into meatless eating has provided is the opportunity and motivation to find new yummy dishes! This last week did not disappoint! (Just try not to lick your screen!) I have finally given up on turmeric. I have tried (about 10…

A question I got was “So, what are you going to actually EAT if you go vegetarian?” All of the things. You know, except for things with a face. In cattle country (aka Texas), it seems like going vegetarian is just crazy. Seriously, though – there are SO many whole food, plant-based items to eat –…

I’ve always been afraid of it. I don’t really know why. Frequently maligned and mocked things can come across as scary. It was with great trepidation I even gathered the courage to… put it in my grocery cart. But I did it. Steeling myself as I reached for what I assumed was gelatinous goo, I…

I’m not a big fan of sticking a toe in the water. With most things, I’m a jump right in kind of gal. Over the years I’ve played around with various levels of vegetarianism, and was for a solid year shortly after high school. (Going to Mexico and seeing open air meat markets the summer…

I have officially stopped working at the gym (my choice, all good) and have been getting into the new routine working out and doing the mom thing. A friend of mine started a blog Fiftytwoin2017 in which…

I am not a huge fan of making one food try to be another, but this time I’ll make an exception because these taste buds are so dang happy! Even Hannah liked it! Stir Fry Cauliflower “Rice” 2 slices of bacon, chopped 1/4-1/2 cup onion, diced 1 head cauliflower, processed to a rice-size 2 eggs,…

I love LOVE mayonnaise on things like sandwiches, in potato salad, egg salad and also for use in creamy dressings like ranch! What I am not a huge fan of is processed commercial made mayos – love their flavor, but not the preservatives and soy-based ingredients. I went looking for a “tastes like Best Foods”…

Seriously. No, I’m not selling something. I made THE BEST dinner tonight. It was so good, that it will be a regular weekly meal in our house. A group of friends are doing a Whole30 month (eating only whole foods for 30 days, eliminating sugary processed foods.) I did a Whole30 month last December and liked it…

The topic of nutrition has been brewing in my mind for the past couple of weeks, and then today’s one word prompt of Healthy popped up. Last night I was watching the documentary Sugar Coated on Netflix. And in church this morning, part of the sermon addressed time; that which we deem important we will make…
