A salad a day keeps the doctor away!

wow, i am seriously sucking at taking pictures of my food lately, i'll be sure to remedy this tomorrow but as for tonight you lovelies are left with only one pic (so i tried to make it large for ya!) it's my tasty antioxidant salad, from The Healthy Skin Diet. It's probably one of my favorite salad combos & it's so good for you i love it! The author of the book Karen Fischer is amazing, she's one of my idols!
I also tried the Chai Bumble Bar today & loved it! So chai-ey & delicious, not too nutty and i loved the little cornflake-y bits that popped up every now and then. It was pretty filling too, it left me very satisfied.
Tomorrow i think i'm gonna have a little bit of a cooking day so i can freeze some stuff for the rest of the week, so that should be fun.
Oh and today i went with my sis to watch bride wars which was surprisingly funnier than i expected
p.s oh she glows has a great giveaway on, but hurry cause it closes tomorrow!!!
okay i'l see you all tomorrow
peace

Christmas, New Years and Nuggets all rolled into one neat package

I've had a blog break since just before Christmas cause I've been super busy and up at the Sunshine Coast (that's not where I live) visiting rellies. anyway i'm back and ready to post about my food eatin again!

By the way loved everyone's christmas posts I read so many and they were really great, I'd love to live in the States just to have a traditional white christmas with snow and sledding and ice skating and all that jazz. Down here it has been sweltering hot like everyday! Anyway enough with my complaining here is some food....














This is a delicious antioxidant salad from the Healthy Skin Diet, it's got baby spinach, grated carrot, grated apple, raisins, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds and a tasty apple cider vinegar/ mango chutney dressing which complements the sweetness of the salad oh so nicely. On the side I had nutty nuggets from this really cool cookbook called BJ's Yummy Vegan Recipes, I bought it from this little vegan restaurant I discovered which serves the most amazing adzuki bean patties and vegan ice-cream, anyway back to the point the nuggets were delicious!















Later on that day I tried an organic food bar called Active greens, which was okay but nothing too special anyway hope everyones new years were great
talk to you soon

Hi everyone
so after being inspired by the fantastic vegan blogs out there i've finally decided to set my own up. Yeah! So here goes entry numero uno:
since i just finished school for another year (only one more left now and my tertiary education can begin) i've had way more free time, that's why i wanted to start this blog, i've been toying with the idea for about a year now-i've been way too lazy (he he he). So i think one of the reasons i haven't fully committed to veganism until now was because i was worried i wouldn't get all the nutrients i required so i've been studying up on food combining etc, etc and during this i discovered a supplement called vital greens 'phyto-nutrient superfood' which contains 76 nutrients essential for optimal health. you mix it with water and it looks very green (the photo below doesn't do the color justice, it is like super green) but is surprisingly fruity and pretty nice tasting. I checked all the ingredients and it is 100% vegan and organic, i found it due to Karen Fischer who is one of my idols (she's an Australian nutritionist specializing in skin conditions who wrote the Healthy Skin Diet). Anyway so i had a glass of this before breakfast, which was a blueberry beauty smoothie a recipe from the Healthy Skin Diet. I love this book because though all recipes are not vegan, she doesn't use dairy at all (as it can irritate the skin) and she has a lot of vegetarian recipes which are basically vegan or can be altered easily. The smoothie was very refreshing, exactly what i felt like!

At lunch I made the legendary chickpea cutlets from Veganomicon, this is the third time I've attempted them. The first time they were delicious but the second they turned out way to dry and looked like they were suppose to be anzac cookies. I saw posted on the ruby red vegan blog an slight alteration, making them into chickpea nuggets which looked really cool so I decided to try this with a simple salad and some delicious sweet chili sauce drizzled on top.It was a very satisfying lunch!
So anyway welcome to my blog! I'll post again soon
