More polenta

Just felt like sharing the picture. Nothing new though.

Hearty vegan spaghetti

This is great for a quick easy meal. Best part about it is no Browning nasty cow corpse which is time consuming and sad :( simply pour some smart life veggie crumbles in some sauce, I buy the organic Kroger brand (make sure it doesn't have cheese) and boil some whole west pasta. Whala. Dinner is ready! Throw some veggies on the steamer too. Top it all off with vegan parm. My kids love this meal!

Best meal to date

I have been.playing around with some vegan Alfredo sauces and this one takes the vegan cake! Pine nuts, juice of one lemon, garlic, pepper, salt, onion powder all mixed in the nutribullet. Its simply amazing. You have to.let it sit overnight in the fridge to absorb all the flavors. I sauteed mushrooms, kale and chick peas and threw it all on some zucchini noodles. My husband said it belongs in a restaurant! Now that makes me happy!! Try this recipe! You won't regret it. Of you don't have a spiralizer, use some spaghetti squash.

Nutribullet goodness!

The best way to start your day! Add some chia or flax seeds for an extra boost. I try to eat all my fruit for the day in the morning so I have all day to burn off the sugars. Also its always best to eat fruit alone and in an empty stomach. Blend it up! Now add vodka. Ha jk

Creamy avocado basil spaghetti squash with cauliflower mashed potatoes

This avocado dressing was amazing. All I did was throw an avocado, garlic clove, basil leaves, cashews and the juice of a lemon in the nutribullet till it was blended. Went great with squash! And I slightly oversteamed my cauliflower this time so I added vegan butter and tons of parsley! Delicious! The whole dinner took 30 minutes maybe

My opinion on fake meats

I love them. Yes they are processed a bit but they're great for when you want some meat. Especially if you're craving spaghetti, tacos or chili. I will post my chili recipe soon. Jimmys dad said it was the best chili he's ever had and meat lovers love it!
So even though these fake meats aren't the most wonderful thing to put in your body, they're still better than animal flesh. Ew. Its not.laced with antibiotics and hormones. Its not from an animal who has been tortured since birth and the best part? It's easily digested.
Did you know that meats sits and ferments in your colon for THREE DAYS??????!!!! Yes three days. How sick is that? Even organic free range grassfed meats. How can our bodies detoxify with meat just sitting there?! I think I'll take the fake meats, on occasion. Just make sure it isn't GMO.

Some more dishes from the week

The pretty one is the spaghetti squash with an easy sauce (previously posted) but since it was for my sister, I had to dress it up.
Another favorite is quinoa w tempeh and steamed veggies. I can't do tempeh anymore since I had a stomach bug last time I ate it so it's ruined for me, lame!!! So I had a fat piece of chicken. Fake of course.
This week at whole foods I found a huge box of their vegan cookies! I try to avoid sugar but I always need at least a bite of something sweet after dinner. This does the trick...if I can avoid eating the whole box.
Last night I also roasted asparagus and mushrooms in garlic and just a little bit of vegan butter. It was pretty good! Mushrooms make everything amazing.
