Peace Love and Vegan

Thai peanut veggie wrap!!!

So... Its been about 3 years since I've posted on my page. I remember feeling very sick and losing my appetite very quickly around that time. Little did I know my second child was on her way. And with a wedding to be planned (engaged for 2 years), Plus spending time with my sweet oldest daughter I had my hands full. With life happening the page got pushed on the back burner. But with my youngest just turning 2, I knew I had to get back on here and start posting again.

Made this yummy BBQ tofu sandwich topped with kale, mushroom and corn sauteed in a dash of wine.

First time trying the Beast Burgers and Chao cheese and it turned out great! If you haven't tried it yet check it out! Great thing to bring to a cookout :)

picked some organic berries and made some yummy pancakes with them!!!! love berry season!!!

Some food we made while camping! ALL VEGAN! yum yum!!! :)

vegan french bread pizza! yum! Daiya cheese is defiantly the best!!!

YES, I know it's not "whole food and healthy" but I couldn't resit, I had to share this, If you have a Dollar Tree in your area these are all VEGAN!!!! And only a dollar each! If you're on a budget and want a quick snack these are great.

This vegan cheese is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!! Got the idea from here..... http://www.veggieonapenny.com/vegan-cheese/ but mines lower fat.

you can add flour/ corn starch to thicken

Oil pulling! Anyone do this before? I'm gonna start tomorrow morning super excited to see what happens! I'll be doing it for 30 days! If you don't know what it is its when you swish coconut oil in your mouth for about 15-20 minutes in the morning! Its like a detox for your mouth/teeth. It has a lot of good benefits and also helps whiten teeth. Do a little bit of research and see if its something you want to do? :)

How to:

-Put about a tablespoon of coconut oil in your mouth right when you wake up before you drink any water/ eat and you swish it around for about 15-20 minutes.

-DO NOT SWOLLOW (can be toxic due to the toxins its taking out of your mouth) If you feel the need to swallow it spit it out!

-Also when its been swishing around it will get thicker.

-After you spit it out, rinse your mouth with lukewarm salt water for about a minute. spit out.

-brush your teeth as normal (use a different tooth brush then your normal one!) Rinse your tooth brush under really hot water.

If you have any questions I'll do my best to answer them :)
