Entry #4: So many options......

  I was going to write about the horrors of the meat industry but instead I am going to write about something a little less horrific and more tasty, my diet. People always ask me what I eat. Well here it is......

    These are just a few tasty options. Who needs to drink milk when you can have a tall glass of orange juice or kale chips for a snack. I know everyone is wondering what kale chips are!!! I know everyone is just as excited about kale chips as I am. They're super simple to make and cheaper than what you can find at the store. First you take some kale, wash it of course, chop it up into bit size pieces, tosh it in some olive oil and sea salt. Once you've done all of this then we can heat up our oven to 300 degrees and baked them for 20  minutes. I will say baking them doesn't always leave your house smelling lovely but the most important part is they're yummy.

  I should have given up meat and dairy years ago but the fact that it was an inconvenience was what was truly stopping me. Fast food or even frozen meals are just so easy to pop in a make within minutes but when you have to prep your meals in advance it can become a challenge. Luckily just like regular food, I can buy frozen vegan meals and no I cannot just go and get fast food but avoiding restaurants like Taco Bell, McDonald's, Jack in the Box and such places, I will not only stay healthy but cut down on their profits and hopefully cruelty.

   

 

    Here are a few yummy places to try:

        - The Green/Nami: A tasty vegan restaurant that anyone can enjoy. You can go to green and have a yummy meal and than if your up to it, walk over to nami for some yummy desert.

        - True Foods: Has the best tofu lettuce wraps! They're so delish. I am making myself hungry just thinking about it.

        - Kabuki at Westgate: No, Kabuki isn't a vegan restaurant but you can always find vegan options such as munching on some edamame, have a veggie role, avocado role, maybe a cucumber salad or even some tofu. They are now serving organic tofu as well. The options are endless.

 

    We all love to eat and trying new things is always fun, if I haven't convinced you to try one of these three, check out this website for more restaurant options: happycow.net.
