Recipe!! Vegan Mushrooms and Swiss Chard with Savory Grits

Image
Today's recipe is going to be a twist on a childhood favorite of mine. Growing up, my best friends Mom would make these AMAZING grits! They were so rich, creamy and delicious. The only down side was that they were not vegan. They had cheese and heavy cream in it, many times it was served with eggs and shrimp. So this definitely did not fit into my new lifestyle.  After a few months, I was really craving these extra special grits. So I decided to play around with this recipe. I tried replacing all of the ingredients with the vegan alternatives, and it just didn't do it for me. At that point, I knew that I was to have to recreate this recipe. I started playing around with different flavors and combinations. I actually came across this combination of ingredients completely on accident. I accidentally used sesame oil instead of olive oil (oops!!!!) at the time I could not afford to just through it away and try again I hope you guys love this as much as me ...

What Is A Vegan?

There are so many different phrases and slang terms that are used to describe a healthier lifestyle that often it is virtually impossible to determine exactly what Vegan is and what it is not.

This would include items such as milk, yogurt, butter, eggs, leather clothing and also an...

On the Go Snacks!

Image
Having a crazy schedule does not always have to hinder your healthy eating. I try to stay away from overly processed foods, but when you are constantly on the go it can be challenging. On the days where you have to be away from home for hours, it can be difficult to pack snacks that will not perish after a few hours. Transitioning to a cleaner diet, I usually try to have some fruits and vegetables as snacks first so they do not go bad in my bag, and then if I am still hungry, I move on to the packaged snacks, which I use as a last resort. I usually go to Target or Trader Joe's to get some of my snacks. Lately, I have also realized that Home Goods is a great place to buy snacks as well. These places all have delicious snacks and compared to many other products on the market, many of the foods I find at these places have what I prefer in a snack. When I am snack shopping, I prefer to purchase products with a short ingredient list that is easy to pronounce and ingredients that ar...
