A new experiment tonight... Vegan 'meat' for tacos, tostadas or nachos... This ain't no store bought soy and all kinds of other not so fabulous for you ingredients fake meat... This is homemade good for you and yummy! I took equal amounts of mushroom and walnuts, a bit of olive oil, cilantro, Trader Joe's taco seasoning, extra cumin, a dash of cayenne and half a lime squeezed... Pulsed until roughly chopped in the food processor. Then heated it up with sautéed onions and garlic for a few minutes on medium heat. It was good, healthy and a nice replacement for meat. #nomnom #vegan #vegetarian #whatsfordinner #tostadas #tacos #walnut #mushroom #healthyfoodie #fitfam

I'm having one of those WTF!? But praise The Most High and counting my blessings kinda moments... See that little blood spot on the floor? That was where I was standing when my shower door literally just exploded right in front of me. With no logical reason as to why. No cracks or nicks in the glass, hinges are still attached to the shower, no extreme hot to cold... It sounded like something hit it with a sledge hammer when I turned to look as I was startled. Glass flew out in the middle and crumbled all around like something just smashed it. Crazy. The way the hinges which were not loose prior, look like they were almost ripped off by the sheer force. Thankfully I only got one minor cut on my right pinky toe, as it could have been much worse. I had been standing right where it exploded just a few minutes prior. Two feet away was just enough to keep me safe. So grateful Jaya was not the recipient of this or even here to hear/see it. #crazy #closecall #praisethemosthigh #praise #saved #countingmyblessings

One simple way to be more efficient is to make enough food for leftovers. I especially do this when it comes to soup, beans, lentils and rice. I'm not quite there in the meal prep for the week thing, but cooking extras of these always makes other dinner plus lunches a cinch. For example today for lunch, I reheated some soup from last night on the stove for a few minutes. While that was heating up, I toasted a piece of organic sprouted grain bread and diced half an avocado and smeared the other half on my bread. Sprinkled some sea salt, cumin and cayenne on top and viola there's lunch. It was sooo good too! What shortcuts do you take in the kitchen to make your week going smoother? #leftovers #lifehack #kitchenhack #cleaneats #eatrealfood #vegetarian #vegan #behealthy #whatsforlunch

Tonight's dinner was simple, hearty and delicious. Lentils are versatile, forgiving and fabulous! This lentil soup I threw together with what I had on hand and you can do the same! Eat solo as I did or have with some brown rice or white basmati rice. Top with hot sauce or have plain. Enjoy!

Stuffed the peppers with leftover Cuban black beans from last night's dinner combined with sautéed mushrooms, onions, garlic and kale and topped with a cashew avocado cilantro lime 'cream' sauce and last night's homemade salsa verde. Side dishes included basmati yellow rice with my homemade seasoning (I use turmeric for the golden color) with bell peppers and peas plus fried platanos.

I haven't talked about food in a bit and decided I should let you all in on what I'm doing. Over the past few years there has been a lot of experimentation with my health, some intentional and others not so much. One thing I do know is eating meat even on a semi regular basis is not working for my gut. So for the past few months I went to not eating much meat to the being completely meat free, egg free and dairy free the past several weeks. The only animal product I am consuming a few times a week to keep my allergies in check is raw honey. One thing I do know is my body is seriously grateful for the change. There's a lot more to the story, which I will share sooner than later. 😉 Here's what I ate today minus a vegan protein smoothie I whipped up after my workout this morning. I will end this post with saying listen to your body, it will tell you exactly what you need and what you should avoid. Take care of you! ❤️ #bodylove #takecare #templeoftheruach #vegan #eatclean #eatrealfood #slowfood #plantpowered
