As you may know from reading my blog I generally try to stay physically fit. I enjoy running and weight lifting and eating a healthy plant-based diet. I get plenty of nutrients from my food because my workouts are pretty moderate. My husband on the other hand has been doing P90x. With a workout this [...]

Vegan Cheezy Southwestern Chili Mac

Last night I made something crazy! In fact, it was so crazy good that I wanted to share it with you today.

New MorningStar Farms Sweet & Sour Chik’n

Most of the time I bring leftovers to work for lunch (ok, well I try anyway). If I don’t bring my lunch I have a variety of tempting and not so healthy options to choose from. In order to combat these days when I just don’t have any leftovers to bring, or when I simply don’t [...]
