oh my Vegan

-
I've spent the past well, let's see, 47 days trying out new recipes, making changes, getting kind of a routine down for meals and snacks. Some have turned out great, but then like the one last night I was really looking forward to, well it did not.
I recently received a great list of recipes to try out from the Peta mentor program, the ones I've tried so far have been amazing.
So with all of that being said I'm going to spend some time posting some of my favorite recipes for meals and snacks on here over the next few days and week.

It is actually quite funny, here in Louisiana, if you mention the word vegan, people become fearful for your life. Kids believe you are going to die from not eating meat, like how did that even happen?!
There are NO local meet-up groups on being vegan, animal rights, etc...like NONE
I mean I Figured as much on some of this, since hunting is a hobby and favorite past time, and they literally brought in black bears so when they become a thing of fear after populating in the area for a number of years they can make it a season to hunt and kill them for fun, but I just really thought I'd find out I wasn't alone. The thought that kids are being taught meat is the only way to survive this life, that without it you could potentially die is kinda bewildering to me
There are NO animal sanctuary's in Louisiana either, just found that out when searching


Anyway, I am also going to share some links that were shared with me from the mentor program (which honestly I am also posting here so I can know where to find them since bookmarks are the bane of my existence, save everything in a bookmark and never use it again)

Also, if you have not watched What the Health on Netflix yet, do so, do so now!
Happy Eating :)

Today, I shall struggle, and struggle I do so well

I'm struggling today, with the concept of...everything. A lot over my lifetime I have felt empty and I'm trying to find what is suppose to fill that void. I've tried food, running and boxing, kids, family, addictions, extreme spending habits in hobbies and other things. I want to be a good person because that's what I am, I don't feel a person should have to be negotiated with and bought with a reward/prize for them to live by the rules of being a good person. Now hear me out. Those rules are just common sense. Don't murder, well no shit. Don't take property that doesn't belong to you, also common sense that's why it's in every single religion no matter the variation, it's just obvious. I was reading that beliefs and religion are 90% of the time tradition, being trained, and environment, how you were raised. Some were forced to go to church from a young age and still continue to go as we get older, I do not fall into that category. I

For me, a diet wasn't enough to keep me on target, it wasn't enough for me to change to make the changes necessary to stay on track. For me, I needed a lifestyle change, I needed something I believed in, it had to be more than just losing weight I needed something to rid my life of toxins. This had been something I had been working towards for a year, slow intracit moves, directed towards results, and end goal, a destination. For me, honestly, it all started with my hair. My first step was going no poo or curly girl, realizing what those ingredients masked in the form of beautiful scents and shine were chemicals that hid their harm. To read and realize what I had been doing to my hair since birth almost was gut wrenching. That is when u began a search for peace, seeking harmony with my soul and mind. Next was yoga, this was a form of me being able to let go of so much negative energy and toxins that had weighed my soul down for far too long and I desperately needed them gone.

The Couple Next Door, I am extremely excited to read this book, it is currently waiting at the library for me to pick up tomorrow and I hope to be done with a stranger in my house by then The Widow Fiona Barton The Child Fiona Barton Blood Sisters two posts back I gave a list of my to be read books, these 4 were on it and did not disappoint, the others I gave a few pages and couldn't get into it or just ended up not enjoying the summary and didn't try it out. As you can see from my previous post, a stranger in the house was a 5 star read for me, so I went on to the Couple Next Door and once again I loved it, the Unwanted Guest by far my favorite of this authors 3 books, and I really really liked all 3 but unwanted guest just reeled me in and dealt the punches. Now, I will say, the ending was a bit of a let down just didn't have the punches the rest of the book had by still a great read. I went on to read The Haunting of Hill House after starting the netflix s
