call me a couch potatoe

bleh so my job has had me feeling tiered before and after work so i have not been working out this angers me because i can feel my back aching and although im still making significant changes because of my veganism i still feel horible for not working out so next week i shall be working out so help me god i will.

TODAYS ACTIVITIES

Today i found out my grandmother had shipped over HUGE florida mangos for me and when i mean huge i mean huge check it out.

yea i was not joking, well so as u know my addiction with mangos is fatal so i made a great big blender filled batch of mango smoothie.this mango made about four of  our big cups me, rosie, mark, and my mom all enjoyed a glass. you can find the recipie on my food section in the blog .

So other things i did today was decide i was going to print every recipie i want on all the really good vegan blogs and make a book now im still pondering if i should auction off the book after or make a seperate book. to be auctioned off.

Also do to some very stupid car issues i had to order from fresh direct  you can look up the site on google and it will take you right to it . Now a tip if your vegan and hate going through all the sections this site  when you type in vegan it actually gives you vegan supplies that hits every category of groceries the only down fall that was not really quite unexpected was that it has to be delivered on friday while im at work. this means i shall not be  making anything new untill i get the new groceries if i like there service i shall be doing a review and showing you what i got.

Happy herbivore polenta recipie !!!

Ok so the other day i decided it was time to get serisous and try some intense vegan coooking like stuff that isnt frozen lol so i  did start and i picked Happy herbivores pizza polenta recipie at first i was not sure because it required using an over but let me tell you it was worth using the oven for other  than the usual cupcakes i burn lol.

so  you can check out her recipie onher website happyherbivore.com  you just go through her blog and it shall be there im going to try and make my own version soon.

this picture is of what i thought was a crust it kind of plays a crust but its delicate however i did not know cormeal could tast this good.

the crust only hold about five ingredients and two of them you probably have in your house already salt and pepper. and i found corn meal at my local store for 79 cents so its not expensive and then italian seasoning which i guess can be substituted not to sure though.

This is a picture of the polenta with the yummy veggies and addictive diya cheese  my first onecame out better than the second only because i was in a bit of a rush with the second one this is a picture of my first one.

this was truly yummy andi recomend reading her blog for more yummy  recipies.

I hope you all drool over these pictures.

HH MEETUP !!!

So as a new vegan still in transitioning its good to meet other vegans and surround yourself with positive vegan energy. If your asking what this means it means surround yourself with people who have been through transitioning and understand why you are doing this and don't judge you because they have been through it too.
So with that said i went to Happy herbivores meet up . these meet ups are where you can meet  other vegans eat share ideas and recipes and grasp all knowledge  about being a vegan that you could possible ask for.

I got to meet Lindsay Nixon (writer creator and vegan goddess in the kitchen)  she was truly awesome and her black and white vegan cookies were amazing!!!! I also met Haley Pierson-Cox who is Awesome she is The zen of making  she is truly and awesome person she made the most delicious cupcakes and this mint chocolate patty plate that was to die for.  i also got to meet some other vegans who were also awesome. there was great conversations great eats and great people. we also tested ourselves for PH to test if we are alkaline or acidic some of you may know that if you have a healthy diet you should be more alkaline than acidic . Thankfully i was more alkaline i did not expect this since i had only been vegan for three weeks.  Along with this there was another test , the test was that if a person is more alkaline then wheat grass shots should taste sweet. I'm not one who was ever very fond of Wheat grass shots or juices only because every other time i tried it it had tasted like grass. However surprisingly this time it was sweet which was confusing for me in so many ways but i guess later on when i guess and am more knowledgeable about being vegan i will try this again.

Any way  back to the meet ups so these are truly  the greatest way to meet other vegans and try new foods i must say i was not expecting a vegan cookie to taste So damn good i actually was expecting that i would have to get use to alot of foods when i became vegan but I don't because they are really good.  Not all vegan food "taste like hippies " quoted by the zen of making herself.

Hope you guys check out the meet ups and enjoy
