Discovered green smoothies this month! I knew they existed. I mean I discovered as in fell in love with them. I have been looking for a Breyer breakfast for a long time. The first meal of they day is, in western tradition, usually the heaviest, carry the fat along with the idea one needs plenty … Continue reading

Great article about the corporate food machine…
"Lots of folks realize they don't want industrialists fooling around with something as basic as food. People like me don't trust Monsanto. We don't trust the Food and Drug Administration. We don't trust the Department of Agriculture. We don't trust Tyson. And we don't think it's safe to be dependent on food that sits for … Continue reading
Cholesterol Matters!
Another strong motivator to go Vegan came over me as I read about Cholesterol, Heart Disease, and Strokes in Western society. What's interesting to me is how it appears "diet" is downplayed some, and listed as one of the factors, often mentioned last in a list. Perhaps it's just me. But here's one: "High blood … Continue reading
Three weeks and counting…
Well, I feel GREAT! I started this pure Vegan diet on 7/15/10 (and this blog on the same day) and I have now lost seven more pounds and have loads of energy. The kicker is I haven't had time to excersice… at all, even though I bought a new treadmill to get back into running … Continue reading

One Week and Counting…
Well, actually I am not counting.

I won’t go into details but my body has been … Continue reading

Veggies and Stuff!!
April made it back with yummy veggies and stuff. I feel like it’s Christmas! These Walnuts, Granola, and Fresh veggies are delicious. This is exciting. Now this seems to be the real key to success, keeping things interesting and new. I am seeing more and more that to truly make this a lifestyle I will … Continue reading
My First Shopping List
I have to get better at research and shopping. I'm learning that, in order to be good and crazy vegan on a fast-food planet I have to do my home-work. I am far too weak to say no to the convienence foods right now; maybe someday I'll be better. But how much easier life would be if the … Continue reading
Junk Food Vegan
I just found out from Sarah Taylor, in her book Vegan in 30 Days, that I'm a "junk food vegan!" What in the world? I thought I was crazy but turns out I'm only half crazy. I'm still eating egg whites, potato chips, a little cheese, and a lot of bread and crackers. Must be … Continue reading
