It has been a while since I’ve posted any vegan recipes that I LOVE, so I figured I’d post a few new ones here since I’ve been doing this for almost 2 years! Crazy! Here’s a quick little update. “Going vegan” with a strict plant-based diet was my response to treatment and healing after being diagnosed… Continue reading “Going vegan” update + New Vegan Dish Favorites!
Here are some of my go to favorites that I have found since March that I love!! Many of these recipes are from the cookbook, Oh She Glows, by Angela Liddon.

I’m all about “being real” on social media, but posting happy things makes… Continue reading Gluten-free Daily Bread.
Surgery is now a distant memory… well… kinda. I started back work on Tuesday, got the clear to go swimming and do more with John on Wednesday, and played my first tennis match since surgery on Thursday. This has been a great week! Getting to do my normal weekly activities now has made a huge… Continue reading Post surgery – 6 weeks-ish.
Everything causes cancer. EVERYTHING. I can’t put one single thing in my mouth to eat without thinking of the repercussions it could have on my body. I know too much about food now. I’ve researched too much about chemicals and ingredients in packaging and food and everything in between and it’s just too much. I… Continue reading Inedible brownies.
