Be wary of your supplements my dear friends and followers and readers. A friend posted a picture of supplements containing gelatin (aka hooves), which is NOT vegetarian. If you’re considering a vegetarian lifestyle, please check the labels and purchase vegetarian capsules. They are available at health food stores!
Peace, love and gelatin free capsules,

…with tofu and chilli, naturally. This is one of the bestest recipes I have invented. I had it two days running it was that good!
Ingredients for one
25g dried quinoa (sounds like a little but makes a lot!)
4-6 mushrooms (depending how much you like them!)
1/4 block extra-firm tofu,…
I will be making this! Sounds YUMMY!Â
If you love breakfast as much as I do, finding the time to spoil myself for breakfast is definitely like a piece of heaven. A friend of mine brought me about a dozen organic peaches and I decided tossing them in some homemade pancakes would just be the bees knees. Blueberries and peaches seem to go together. The combination is sweet, tart and comforting. It took me about 15 minutes to make about 4 jumbo pancakes.Â
Here is a recipe for the most simple (and DELICIOUS) pancakes ever (inspired by Chloe Coscarelli)!Â
What you need:Â
1 c. all-purpose flour
1 Tbs. baking powder
ÂĽ tsp. ground cinnamonÂ
Âľ c. coconut milk (or soy or almond- coconut is prob the best)Â
3 Tbs. maple syrup, plus extra for serving (I used a little bit of agave nectar instead of so much maple syrup)
8 oz. fresh blueberries & 3 peaches, diced into small cubes
Vegan Butter (for topping)
How you make it:Â
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and cinnamon. In a separate small bowl, whisk together milk and maple syrup. Add the liquid to the flour mixture and whisk until just combined. Do not over mix; the batter should have some lumps.Â
Lightly oil a large nonstick skillet or griddle and heat over medium-high heat. For each pancake, pour ÂĽ cup of batter onto the skillet and sprinkle blueberries on top, if using. When small bubbles appear in the center of the pancake, it is time to flip it. Let it cook on the other side until lightly browned and cooked through, about 1 more minute. Repeat with remaining batter, adding more oil to the skillet as needed. Serve pancakes with warm maple syrup.
I gobbled these amazing pancakes up so quick I wondered where they went.Â
Yes, they are THAT good.
Peace, love and no beef!

I’m a firm believer that you are what you eat- what you put into your body effects your entire being. You may not realize it but that bag of potato chips has more of an effect on your mood, well being and health than you would expect. Ever wonder why you feel lethargic, on edge, jumpy or just plain old moody? Think about the things you’re eating on a regular basis. Sure, it’s much easier to grab take out on the way home from work but what you don’t realize is you’re sacrificing great health for convenience.
Though your schedule may not permit you to make conscious healthy decisions, you can make the effort to set aside time to prepare for the week ahead. Get on over to the grocery store or the farmer’s market and opt for fresh produce and less processed foods. Processed foods can have a negative impact on your body because of the simple fact that it is not natural. By opting for more fresh ingredients and planning out a menu for the week (if not the week, how about the next few days) you’re giving your body the chance to feel energized naturally (without the caffeine), you’ll feel more motivated and overall feel much happier. Weave in some daily physical activity and your body will thank you.
Make conscious decisions for long lasting results and remember, you are what you eat.
Peace, love and healthy eating (and no beef of course!),
