Easy Left-Over Stir Fry
Wow! I can’t believe the first week of 2011 is almost over! I have a feeling before you know it, 2011 will be a distant memory.

So not to disappoint you (or me), here’s a little recipe I threw together the other night. I was in the mood for stir-fry, so I looked in my frig and this is what I came up with.

Can you believe today is the last day of 2010!?! Wow where did the year go?

Read MoreQuinoa Carrot-Apple Salad
Over the weekend I participated in a heart talk called “Tools for a Healthier Lifestyle” with my friends Adene and Laura from Aultman Heart Center at Aultman Hospital.

I can’t believe it that is has been one year since I started my blog and my new way of eating – my new beginnings. It really hasn’t been hard being a vegan – it’s a shame more restaurants just don’t get it. All of us would be so much healthier if we had fresh choices. I was once there; cheeseburgers, fries, steak and just maybe a hot fudge sundae to top it all off. No more. I feel so much better now; I sleep well at night, I have tons more energy, and I’m fit! I use to think...
Read MoreVegan Doughnuts….what!?!
Okay, even though I try to eat really healthy now….at one time I was a big junk food eater…(I still have my down falls every once in awhile….) One of my favorite Saturday/Sunday lounging in bed treats was doughnuts..Oh well…..that’s what I thought until now! I found this recipe in the “vegan yum yum” cookbook by Lauren Ulm And she’s right! These are yum, yum! In fact this book has countless yummy recipes! The only equipment you need is a mini doughnut pan which I...
