"Believe me I was once there so I know it is hard to believe, but I don't give a damn how many times McDonalds, Wendy's, Jack n the box, Pizza Hut, Dominoes, Papa John's, Waffle House, Burger King use the word "HEALTHY" in their ads... They are all the grim reaper wrapped up in a shiny effin* clown suit." - John Lewis(*for the youngins)

See what you get!

The number of facebook friends you have means something?

^Is it just me, or does that just look odd?^
Is it weird that just LOOKING at a burger,
that I feel icky and... fat.
I think it is great they are incorporating veggies at Burger King
but I think it's... I don't know. You make your own opinion on it.
I didn't think I liked brussels sprouts until Thanksgiving when Danielle Richardet had made them and I tried them. Let me tell you... THEY ARE AWESOME! What in heavens is the big stink about them anyways? Why do so many people rag on them? Maybe people just listen to what others say, and they haven't actually tried them for themselves?? That's what I'd guess. I made them for the kids (Bishop family) and they LOVED them. I was so pleased!!
In the United States, over 3,000 deaths per year from lung cancer

are due to secondhand smoke.
GROSS.
Pretty stinkin' cool....
Beware this one made me dizzy...

VEGAN/GLUTEN FREE
It's not very common to find someone that is
VEGAN AAAAAAND GLUTEN FREE (AKA VEGIAC)
but I live to make life interesting hehe... oh but the point of making
that statement (I am SO ADHD)... is that I found a good website for Vegiacs.
hahaha this is freaking cute.
I goodie that Lauren Horne found on Textsfromlastnight.

"An estimated 800 million pairs of jeans are sold worldwide each year."-Whole Living Magazine
WOW! I love a pair of jeans... but yikes! Just last week I got a "new" pair of designer jeans from Hallelu (on Wrightsville Beach, beside WINGS) for like $45 opposed to the like $200 that they normally cost. They were basically brand new... and actually fit perfect. I am going to have to get all new jeans this year :( and :) ... I put a sad face because money, but happy face because the reason I have to get new ones is because all of mine are huge on me now.
...FERNS... are masters at clearing indoor air...? Who knew! It's the most effective air-purifying species... Whole Living Magazine says to put one (or many) in a bathroom with a window and let the steam from the shower act as a virtual greenhouse. (hmmmm that is pretty neat)
STRESS
Greenery reduces stress. Studies show the presence of plants significantly eases the recovery of hospital patients & lowers the blood pressure of office workers.
I can't wait until (I think) March when my lease is up at my apartment and I can move into a house with (hopefully) Kailee... I can't wait to paint a wall with that chalkboard paint. I think it is SO neat. I also think it would be cool to have like a "corkboard" wall, so we could put up pretty pictures, recipes, random pictures up and like make a collage...When I "grow-up" aka get married and settle down, I plan ;) to have an office where I can have one wall with the chalkboard paint (for myself) or my kids to play on, a corkboard wall... and yeah I'll stop with my daydreaming... :)
Do you have migraines/headaches?I've suffered from migraines my entire life... yes, even as a child... and completely think that my change in my diet, without a doubt helped me out... especially the dairy/cheese.
Beautiful skin...Karyn Calabrese, a holistic health expert said "I use coconut oil for everything, without fail. It works as a makeup remover and as an intensive moisturizer. Jojoba Oil is even lighter and keeps oil skin in balance." It's absorbed into the skin instead of sitting on top of the surface, blocking pores and causing breakouts unlike mineral oils.
(I loved hearing this because I myself use coconut oil for ABSOLUTELY everything. Cooking, makeup remover, lotion, EVERYTHING... seriously. There is a glass jar of it right this second in my purse... you can get it at Tidal Creek & Fresh Market in the big containers... not positive about the other places. I'll have to go and get some Jojoba Oil to try out.

When I first became vegan... I ate THIS (click on this) seriously almost every night for dinner... and would put it with a vegetable (broc or green beans usually) and a cup of brown rice.
It's not gluten free, so I don't eat it anymore...

Vegan & Gluten Free Mac & Chz & Apple Crumble
Thanks to Happy Herbivore I made vegan & gluten free Mac & Cheeeze :)
Her recipe is found here: Mac & Chz
I used gluten free penne to make it gluten free.
I put diced tomatoes with mine...
because I don't know how to eat anything just by itself
Apple Crumble
Slices apples... 1/2 unsweetened organic applesauce, gluten free oats,
agave nectar, lots of cinnamon... hmmm I think that's it.
I baked it at 350 degrees for 40 minutes.
I put it on top of almond ice cream for Ryan.
I tasted it but was too full to actually eat because of the mac & chz.
He said it was amazing. :)

"The standard diet of a meat-eater is blood, flesh, veins, muscles, tendons, cow secretions, hen periods and bee vomit. And once a year during a certain holiday in November, meat-eaters use the hollowed-out rectum of a dead bird as a pressure cooker for stuffing. And people think vegans are weird because we eat tofu?" - vegan bodybuilder Robert Cheeke

Only a few find the way, some don’t recognize it when they do; some… don’t ever want to. -The Cheshire Cat
Maybe it did take a crisis to get to know yourself; maybe you needed to get whacked hard by life before you understood what you wanted out of it. -Jodi Picoult, Handle With Care
All I ask is one thing, and I’m asking this particularly of young people: please don’t be cynical. I hate cynicism, for the record, it’s my least favorite quality and it doesn’t lead anywhere. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you’re kind, amazing things will happen. - Conan O'Brien

A hundred years from now, it will not matter what kind of car I drove, what kind of house I lived in, how much money I had in the bank...but the world may be a better place because I made a difference in the life of a child.

Dinner last night: Vegan & Gluten Free Pizza
UM, can we say delicious?!?! I made two of these... and my mom, stepdad(huge meat eater), and I dove into these things HEAD FIRST! It was delicious. It had spinach, LOTS of onions, zucchini, grape tomatoes, red & green bell peppers, hmmm and I think that's it...? But it was AMAZING... I also was informed of some AMAZING news last night...
MELLOW MUSHROOM NOW HAS GLUTEN FREE PIZZA
and they also have SOY CHEESE... which I'm totally happy without the cheese, as long as you load on the veggies! :)
Random Gabbin'
A lot of people have been asking lately what I do about eating out and just random questions about what I eat....
I eat out hardly ever... it saves money and it is a LOT less fattening.
When I DO eat out, which is slim to none... I usually get like steamed veggies... and I ask them if they can cook them with NOTHING, no butter/oil, and no seasoning... I was in Southport, NC last week and went to a seafood restaurant...
I can't think of the name... but I asked for steamed veggies, and PLAIN... NOTHING on them... well, they didn't listen to my request... because whenever I was served my food, they were SO salty I about hacked right there. I took that first bite, and then sat down my fork and when the waiter came back around, I informed him that they were by no means PLAIN, but it was okay, and he insisted that he have them do it again (ya, you better) okay, so the next time they came back out... they were WHAT I ASKED FOR ;o) haha...
If you are doing just VEGAN and not VEGAN AND GLUTEN FREE there are usually tons of options... even if they don't have a side of veggies on the menu, or a side of baked potato on the menu, look at the menu and see what comes with the other entrees, and ask for them... I assure you that they will say yes.
::LUNCH::
Alot of places have wraps and pitas, which is the best way to go for a VEGAN. Most places also have like at the least ONE option for a vegetarian... If they have like shrimp pitas or chicken pitas, etc you could always ask for them to steam veggies and put it on a pita, and then ask for a salad dressing(make sure you're careful with the dressings, I honestly don't use salad dressings because they are SO full of sodium)...
The thing that I am most particular about in all of my eating is the SODIUM content in all of the food. I have to admit that I honestly rarely ever look at the fat/calories/carbs... if it's vegan and gluten free, you're pretty much in good territory already, but then if you go to the grocery store and for instance, this is what I've been most shocked about... ok, so you go to the grocery store... lets say like... hm, Harris Teeter... well let's see... there are probably 7-8 different brands of black beans... but they're all the same right?! So you go for the cheapest one? Yeah, no... check out the sodium content. UGH... makes you wanna vomit in your mouth. Most have like 200+ mg of sodium per 1/2 cup... yeah, that my friend is NOT acceptable. Even the ones that say "low sodium" are rediculous... NEWSFLASH: THIS IS AMERICA... we salt EVERYTHING... so low sodium isn't always the best option... I don't know if they have a Fresh Market, wherever you live but if they do... that is where I get my black beans. The store brand of black beans is what I get... they are $0.99 a can... and I usually buy like 15 cans when I'm there because I literally eat black beans like crazy. Hellooooooo... PROTEIN! Oh yeah, and did I mention that they are 10mg of sodium per 1/2 cup?! Yeah... that's what I call fabulous. :)
When you tell someone that you are VEGAN, the first thing that pops into their head is, okay well maybe the 2nd because the 1st thing they think it HIPPIE...(by the way, I am by no means a hippie, but go ahead, label me that if you please) but yeah, anyways the 2nd thing that they think about is "Like OMG where do you get like your... like protein?!?!" ugh um, you can get your protein from plenty of places that doesn't involve KILLING and MURDERING an animal... dummies.
Okay, so this is like one of my staple meals... and I also use Tofutti sour cream, it tastes funny whenever you just stick your finger in it and lick it (haha) but whenever its consumed WITH something, it's DELISH... :)
