President’s Choice Fresh Cut Washed Slaw
Thank you President’s Choice for making my life so much easier! Need some veggies in a hurry? No washing, no chopping, no fuss. Just open up a bag of PC’s Fresh Cut Washed Slaw, mix with your favourite dressing and “Bob’s your uncle”!
Do you know where that phrase came from? You do now.
Steak Fake
What first came to mind when you saw this mouthwatering dish? I bet it wasn’t “Oh, this must be vegan/vegetarian!” These manly mushrooms will satisfy even the biggest steak-lovers cravings. The mouthfeel is just like a piece of steak and the marinade puts it over the top. Trust me, if you want to add a vegan/vegetarian meal to your weekly menu rotation, this is the quickest and tastiest.
One important thing to note in this recipe is to buy organic mushrooms! Actually every ingredient in all of my recipes are intended to be organic, so, for the best results buy organic. Yes it is expensive, but can you put a price tag on your health?
I would give anything to go back in time and eat healthier if it meant not getting Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). I don’t mean to be preachy, just trust me on this one. Anyway, here’s what Mercola.com had to say about the benefits and cautions of eating mushrooms. (I can just see some of you smirking right now)
Life’s Ups and Downs
Yep, that’s me, then (Sept 2011) and weighing in at a whopping 200 lbs, and now (June 2014) at 130 lbs with the birthday boy Luke who just turned 1 this week. I remember exactly how I felt that day in September – terrible! It was my best friend’s wedding and I had tipped the scales and was now at my heaviest. It should have been a joyous occasion, standing in the wedding party, but all I could think of was how fat I felt and looked. This picture is a rarity. It took me forever to find one from that period of my life, because I never let anyone take any pictures of me, hence the poor quality.
Simple Garden Salad
There is nothing better than tasting the fruits of your labour! I planted my first official garden this year (last year it was just herbs) and I am currently enjoying a simple yet delicious salad with mesculin lettuce right out of my garden.
Lemon Blueberry Coconut Cake
Here’s a quick, easy and healthy crowd pleaser! I’ve made this perfect summer cake a few times now and people just love it. Even those that aren’t on a restricted diet enjoy this cake! The key is getting the cake nice and moist and the glaze nice and creamy. Thanks to my Aunt Marian for the original recipe.
Super Alkalizer
Given today is St. Patrick’s Day, I thought I should get in the spirit and post something green! If you are looking for a quick, easy and believe it or not, tasty way to help alkalize your blood and reduce inflammation, then look no further.
If you have an autoimmune (AI) disease like I do, its best you avoid all alcohol, because it causes inflammation in your body which increases pain and swelling associated with many AI diseases. For those of you without AI, this drink might just be your saviour tomorrow.
