Good morning everyone!

I know it's been a while since I've posted, as my schedule has been super busy. When I say busy, I mean busy from transferring schools and preparing for graduation, to a new job, and a big move. Yet, as busy as I am, I miss sharing my experiences and hearing how your experiences are going too !

Now, I had some trouble keeping up the vegan diet but I've definitely kept up with being a vegetarian. As time progresses, I'll slowly remove cheese from my diet agin, despite as tough as it is, I mean who doesn't love cheese ! lol. Well, thats enough about me, lets get into the good stuff.

This week I "Spiced" up the traditional vegetable stir-fry as my meal to get through the busy week! Instead of only broccoli, green & red peppers, sugar snap peas, etc, I added all the vegetables in my refrigerator. With the same seasonings as usual and more veggies, it was awesome.


Here are ingredients you can throw in your stir-fry to "Spice" it up:

  • Carrots
  • Red Cabbage 
  • Zucchini
  • Squash 
  • Black Beans

Over the weekend, I also found a new and tasty vegan snack to try when you have time during the week or weekend.



" Baked French Fries with Guacamole"

  • Baked Potatoes/ Sweet Potatoes
  • Avocado 
  • Red pepper
  • Lime Juice

This meal is easy, great for a budget, and everything is homemade! Friday night, I'm going to give them a try, homemade fries and guac here I come!! Next week, I'll bring to you my thoughts of this snack and a healthy vegan meal that'll allow my busy students and entrepreneurs to get through the week just like myself. Until next time...

Many people say the vegan lifestyle is crazy and they couldn’t see themselves letting go of both meat and all other animal by-products. However, little do they know, many of us vegans thought the very same way before actually switching.  As a requirement for my audio project, I had to interview two people, and of course, I decided to interview two people who are vegan. Within these interviews, I got the “why I switched, the process of switching, how it makes me feel, the results of switching, how long I’ve been vegan,” and more.  Throughout both interviews, there was one thing in particular that stuck out to me that one of my interviewee’s said, “ Took me while to figure out the right combinations of fruits and veggies to eat to supplement the vitamins and nutrients I was missing from meat.”  And I have to agree with him. No meat, no fish, no milk, no eggs, and no animal by-products, the determination to find recipes that both excite and compliment our lifest...
