My name is Sarah...

I decided to do a juice fast as a way to get myself back on the right path. Here is what I had for breakfast..   bag of carrots   parsley   apple   spinach   grapefruit   orange I'm watching Fat sick and nearly dead for motivation. Let's see how many days I can go =) As far as how I feel..it's about  2 in the afternoon...i feel extremely full and my energy level is definitely up. Feeling very positive =)

I just got back from a vacation. Where did I go? Non-veganland! So, about 10 days ago my family had some people over from out of town and my mom made this incredible feast and not a single thing was vegan. Not to blame it on my mom's delicious and tempting cooking, but I caved =/ It's the first time I have ever broken lent. I do realize that quitting smoking, drinking and becoming a vegan may be a little much to handle at once. So I ate it all, I had a little piece of a meat dish which is kinda masked by bulgur, I ate cheese and chocolate later that week and pita bread which I know is vegan but it's still processed. I did feel kinda disappointed in myself but it's the whole pull the arrow back to make it shoot further method (can you tell I'm a Sagittarius?) I had been doing really well but I did kind of feel like it was a lot of pressure. I DEFINITELY plan on being vegan again starting today. Don't get me wrong I didn't go out and eat hamburgers I barely ch...

WoW i AM SO excited to tell you about this. So brown rice and veggies for dinner can get really boring so I decided why can't I switch it up and have it for breakfast! I can! I love breaking rules! So I got this idea from  Bethenny Frankel's video on brown rice breakfast. So simple!!!!!!!!!!!!!  All I did was microwave a precooked bowl of brown rice ( I get these at costco) add 1 banana sliced up and a few dashes of cinnamon. That's it! It was so yummy =) The banana was browning so it was enough sweetness so that when you mix it with the cinnamon you really have no need to add any type of sweetner. You can also add some almond milk if you want. Fast. Delicious. Easy. Done. I would post a pic but it was so yummy I ate it all ;)

Hi! How are you? Quick post about my breakfast lately. I stopped the 801010 for now and trying to find more info on the best breakfast that will keep me full as well as give me enough energy to get me through my day and an intense workout in the early evening. I have a box of my steel cut oats in the pantry and I have been experimenting with that lately. There are so many ways of eating the oats. I guess you are supposed to soak them over night but I am not very good at planning ahead :/ I kinda just want to eat when my stomach says she wants to. here are some of the ways I have been experimenting with oats... -throw a tbspoon  in your smoothie raw -blend oats with double amount of blueberries with some water ...this keeps you really full -eat 1/4 cup with 1/2 cup of almond milk a half cup of berries ( berries are great you can have more if you want ) 1 banana sliced up                           ok I don't thin...

Keep your pants on I'm talking about rice! So you may have seen my post last year about how I messed up on a wild rice recipe. I decided to give it another whirl. I was recently at a friends house and she was serving wild rice and it looked nothing like mine. Apparently, I had under cooked my rice. I followed the directions on the bag the first time but when I did some research I found out that it needs to be cooked about an hour with maybe some more water than was suggested. I ended up using about 4 cups per 1 cup of rice. I kept adding a little bit of hot water as it was cooking but I started off with about 2 1/2 cups at first. If you have any suggestions on how to cook wild rice I would love to hear from you! So lets start cooking! As I was cooking my rice I had lots of time to start chopping up my veggies into tiny pieces and cooked them down into a nice savery base. Here are some pics and steps.. got this at Whole Foods  chop chop this celery into tin...
