This was my breakfast the other morning. Yes that’s an egg. This was the first time I had an egg in a year and I liked it. I am plant based however I am done restricting myself. I do not think I will eat meat since I haven’t really in a few years now. However I was craving an egg on my avo toast so I just went for it. I read a blog yesterday and it really inspired me to just eat what I want when I feel (with in reason of course) I mostly eat a very colorful diet with some snacks of course. It took awhile to get to the midsection and place I am now but I feel so much better

3 beautiful pictures from Italy. (Not pictures my spaghetti with oil and garlic) it intimidating going to a different place and wondering if there will be food for you. Not just if you are plant-based but for anyone. Through my experience there is usually an option for everyone you may just have to remove soemthing or simply ask. The first picture is spaghetti pomodoro which is simply just spaghetti with tomato sauce and cooked cherry tomatoes. The second is pizza marinara, to my luck there was no cheese to begin with! I also got a huge slice of watermelon for dessert. The third is my absolute favorite gnocchi. It actually did come with melted mozzarella but I asked for it with out it and the sauce is just tomato! It was easier than I thought! And an amazing trip

Sorry I’ve been distant but school has been crazy with not a lot of great things to post😅 but this was from a while ago to a great vegan restaurant near me. It’s raw pizza with pesto and nut cheese... I can not wait to go back here this was seriously so amazing. If you haven’t tried nut cheese I highly recommend you do asap!!! I’ll try and keep posting more especially this week on my spring break

RED CURRY enough said

[vmarzullo]

Even when places don’t have a vegan pizza (usually) they are always willing to make one just for you! They make it with olive oil and you get to pick as many veggies as you want so load up

First time trying a broccoli burger a few weeks ago. Not too bad! Always love the pickle on the side of my plates

These are delicious vegetarian spring rolls (they are vegan of course) that I had as my appetizer for my red curry (not pictured) with my mom❤️

Made this delicious sandwich last week on my first week off from school. So yummy! It’s avocado smashed with chickpeas with some maple syrup. I used Ezekiel break and topped it with lettuce cucumber and red pepper

Always nice to get off campus... my aunt made me these buffalo cauliflower tacos. So gooood!!! I have sautéed peppers and onions, cooked black beans, avocado, romaine, lettuce, and sautéed mushrooms, and of course some extra hot sauce. If you didn’t want the flour shell you could also use the romaine lettuce as a shell.

Vegan thanksgiving was a success! I️ thought I️t was going to be really hard and I️ feel like a burden asking to make stuff I️ can eat sometimes when really I️ shouldnt. It’s easy to set things a side for me with out any butter or milk. This was so good and of course I️ ate more ate midnight. So thankful for making the switch this year to a plant based diet

Ok so this is a picture of my first vegan Mac, I️ know I️t doesn’t look that great but I️t was AMAZING!! Being vegan is getting so much easier and I️ am appreciating my food so much more

I know this doesn’t seem like much but this is the best meal I’ve had in a long time. Living on campus the dining hall can be hard so when my aunts made me a real dinner I was all for it. This is Mediterranean quinoa with sautéed mushrooms and onion, naan bread warmed up in the conventional oven, and my aunts home made amaaaazing soup! I will try and get the recipe out soon it’s so simple and actually originally isn’t vegan. Loved this simple & easy dinner!

The Vegan Way

If you’re living in Los Angeles, there is no doubt that you have noticed the surging popularity of plant-based foods in the dining landscape. Not only are restaurants blooming with new vegan menu options, but there is also a burgeoning growth of plant-based food products emerging in the food industry. Notable newcomers include veggie burgers and dairy-free products including milk, yogurt, and even cheese! We are now welcoming the age of the plant butchers: a group of creative and enterprising culinary geniuses and food scientists who are passionate to develop more sustainable and healthy forms of meat by exploring the world of plant proteins. A new generation of cheesemakers is also emerging, who experiment with using bacteria to develop plant-based ‘dairy’ products. Here, we will debunk how these passionate individuals come up with these creative food innovations. Read more…

I had the Amazing opportunity to go to NYC for the weekend of October 1st and attend the first vegan festival! It was so crazy to see how many places showed up I had no idea what to choose. I decided on a tasty burger and a kumbucha tea! It was so good I can not wait to go to all of the festivals near me

Second time at the iron gate cafe!! The home fires are to die for. There was a little too much tofu but with the added avocado it was great.
