Happy #MeatlessMonday ! Tonight, try my healthy version of a Tortilla Espanola (Spanish Omlete). It's like a quiche without the crust and I've used thinly sliced sweet potatoes and onions lightly sauteed instead of deep fried potatoes and onions. Check out my blog for this recipe and many more meatfree ideas! #meatfreemonday #MeatlessMondays #Meatless #vegetarian #plantpower #plantbaseddiet #plantpowered #veggielover #eatyourveggies (at Naperville, Illinois)

Never buy eggs labelled with these 2 things!!! Eggs are a tricky food to buy in store. There are so many lies splashed across the cartons these days trying hard to convince us to buy. Not sure how to buy the best eggs? See my new blog post on what to avoid to ensure your safety and the well being of the chickens themselves. Remember happy chickens, happy eggs! Lol well something like that...stress hormones change the taste and texture of meat and eggs so happier animals produce better quality food.

Happy #meatlessmonday ! Enjoying this hearty curried summer squash soup with toasted quinoa and pumpkin topping! Soups are soup-er (I know I know) easy to make and you can cram a ton of nutrients into every bite and have a ton of delicious flavors bursting through. Which ever you decide to make, make sure to buy your ingredients either from local farms or grown organically wherever you can. Not only will you get the most nutrients and flavor (food that has to travel far or has been grown industrially loses nutrients and lacks taste), you also make sure you are voting with your fork and wallet for sustainable methods that preserve our environment and our own species well being! All that from one meal!? Pretty impressive! It's all about being aware and taking just little steps to make better choices! #meatfreemonday #meatfree #meatless #lessmeat #poweredbyplants #Climatechange #farming #agriculture #vegetarian #vegan

Today, tell your Mother, Grandmother or significant woman mentor in your life that she is the pineapple of your eye... She is strong on the outside, sweet on the inside and should always wear a crown because she is the one who has worked tirelessly for you to also grow into the strong, sweet and royal person you are today! Sending respect and love to all mothers today! #happymothersday #mothersday #mom #mommy #mother #daughter #son #children #respect #love #family #pineapple #besweet

It's FRIDAY! Let's bring back pizza fridays! My family always had a food night...monday meatloaf night, Tuesday fish n chips.....friday pizza night! Many families, including my own, ordered pizza delivery, but some of the best memories can be made during a family pizza night in the kitchen together! It takes just as long to make this pizza/flatbread as it does to get a pizza to your door and will get the family together, creating and connecting over food, but will provide you a much tastier and healthier meal! Cooking as a family will also instil some fabulous life long skills and values that your children can use and pass down themselves. Try my roasted veggie and chicken sausage pizza for your next family pizza night!! Its veggie packed and so delicious it will pass any child test! RECIPE now up on the blog 👉👉👉ediblepolitics.org (link on my bio) #FRIYAY #friday #fridaynight #pizza #flatbread #pizzaday #fridaynight #homemade #cookingmatters #cookingwithkids #familytime #familycooking #kidsinthekitchen #pizzafriday

While we are certainly shaped a great deal by who and what surround us, we have the power to accept, resist, change or embrace what our environments throw our way. Whether we want to eat healthier, be more active, be less stressed or be more successful at work, we can create what we want from the world...it just takes the desire, the drive, the passion and empowerment of knowledge to go forward and male the necessary changes. It isn't easy, and you may hit many road blocks or have bouts of failure but keep pushing and you will achieve movement towards your goals regardless which is far more positive and something you can be proud of than if you never even tried! So next time you feel down about goals you are only wishing about and feel as though the world is against you, think of ways to use those opportunities to drive you closer to what makes you happy! This is coming from a personal place for me as I recently applied for what I thought would be a dream job and got rejected. I have felt down about it since finding out, but then realized that there is something else out there...and the scary goals I have had for ever to open my own business are once again crying out for me to actually pursue instead! Who knows what will blossom, but I do know I cannot just let what life throws my way be the determinant of my happiness and success...you gotta go out there and make it happen! #thursdaymotivation #goals #success #positivelife #positivemindset #positivevibes #mindbodysoul #shapeyourlife #lifegoals #happiness

Meal preppin for my fur babies today! Pet food is a nightmare to navigate...even more so than our own food! Its full of so many fillers and just crap! Ive always stuck to the better brands that include real ingredients and no grains but I've wanted to start my animals on an organic, whole food diet for ever and I just didn't know enough about it that it intimidated me so I've continued to feed them kibbles. But there is no excuse for me not making them quality real food when I know and preach it's importance to everyone else! Lol so today marks the first day of real food for my pets and man did they ever love it! I put 9 organic chicken breasts (@costco had a sale on organic chicken so I bought a ton!) in a crock pot to cook over night. I then added organic mixed vegetables, whole grain rice and stirred in organic coconut oil which is amazing for their coat and skin. If your pets have any skin conditions try feeding them coconut oil daily! Or if they have allergies like mine do, top their food with local honey. I won't lie...i even ate some of the food I made for them because it just looked so good!! And it was!! I can make us all dinner at the same time without it being extra work...because we will all be eating clean, healthy, lean, REAL FOOD! That's how it should be right!!!??? #dogfood #animallover #buzzfeedanimals #frenchies #frenchbulldogs @adventuresofdieselnbrody #puppyfood #organic #homemade
