Highlights

Plant-based eating has opened my ๐Ÿ‘€eyes to so many ways to replicate beloved foods! A great example is this Vegan Ricotta Cheese! I'm not a huge fan of the vegan cheeses at the store so I knew I didn't want to put any on my pizza. But this ricotta totally made the ๐Ÿ•pizza! . BTW the pizza crust and sauce were from a ready made pizza kit from @costco ๐Ÿ˜ I just added chopped veggies and the vegan ricotta. Easy peasy!! . ๐Ÿง€VEGAN RICOTTA CHEESE ๐Ÿ”ปIngredients โ€ข 1 block tofu, extra firm โ€ข 1/2 medium diced onion โ€ข 3 garlic cloves โ€ข Juice of 2 lemons โ€ข 1.5 tbsp nutritional yeast โ€ข 1 tsp salt โ€ข pepper to taste โ€ข .5 tsp @traderjoes Unami Seasoning โ€ข .5 tsp garlic powder โ€ข .5 tsp onion powder ๐Ÿ”ปDirections 1) Drain and lightly press tofu to remove extra water 2) Saute onions and garlic with veggie broth or water until translucent. If this is your first time sauteeing without oil, you start with about 1 tbsp of liquid and let it simmer. You keep adding more liquid as it evaporates until onions and garlic are translucent. 3) In a food processor, add tofu then remaining ingredients. Pulse until creamy but still has some chunks. 4) Season additionally to taste if needed . . . . . #vegancheese #beingvwithmc #veggieworld #plantbaseddinner #plantbasedfood #plantbaseddrippin #plantbasedlifestyle #plantfueled #houstonfoodstagram #houstoneater #houstonblogger #foodiepic #cheeselife #healthylifestyle #healthyeating #healthiswealth #veganscene #veganchallenge #houstonvegans #wholefoodplantbased #wholefoodie #houstonfoodie #eatmoreveggies #energyfood #energyhealing #veganpizza #dinnerideas #pizzaforever #houstonbloggerlife #veganismdaily

Can y'all tell I โค๏ธ ๐Ÿฅฆ? ๐Ÿ˜„ The secret to eating lots of veggies like I do is eating what you love! I seriously buy 2 bags of broccoli from Sam's like every 1-2 weeks!

๐ŸฅณSo yes, you can lose weight on ๐Ÿpasta...and ๐Ÿฅ”potatoes, ๐Ÿšrice, ๐ŸŒฏbeans and all the natural, whole food carbs!! You just gotta do it right! No oil or added fat, keep it clean and simple and drink lots of water! I literally have clothes getting looser and looser every time I put them on! . . Homeade Pasta Sauce: Saute with water or veggie broth garlic, onions, celery, bell peppers, chopped tomatoes. Add tomato sauce, salt, pepper, herbs of your choice (fresh or dry), and a little bit of sugar or maple syrup to cut the acidity. Simmer on low for about 45 minutes. Blend everything in a blender! So much cheaper and fresher than the store bought stuff ๐Ÿ˜‰ . . . . . #eatyourvegchallenge #beingvwithmc #veggieworld #plantbaseddinner #plantbasedfood #plantbaseddrippin #plantbasedlifestyle #plantfueled #houstonfoodstagram #houstoneater #houstonblogger #foodiepic #pastalife #healthylifestyle #healthyeating #healthiswealth #veganscene #veganchallenge #houstonvegans #wholefoodplantbased #wholefoodie #houstonfoodie #eatmoreveggies #energyfood #energyhealing #weightlosshacks #dinnerideas #pastatime #houstonbloggerlife #loseweightnow

When your husband went to culinary school ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿคฉ . 2020 is definitely the year of making adjustments. That includes โœจcelebrations. Thankfully, my talented hubby made our anniversary dinner into a ๐Ÿ’ฅ5 star meal, just as good or better than what we could've bought! . Although I'm mostly plant-based, I still allow myself to be flexible. This means 95% of the time, I'm eating a whole food, plant-based diet. The other 5%, I'll indulge in a craving or share in a special occasion meal. Usually, the non-vegan meal is seafood (so worth it!) and it doesn't mess up my stomach. Then I go right back to eating my normal starch based food and keep it rollin'! . . ๐Ÿฆž Lobster with Crawfish Stuffing topped with Blood Orange Beurre Blanc, served with mashed Japanese Sweet Potatoes (which he made vegan) and Broccolini . ๐Ÿฅฉ Filet Mignon topped with Crawfish Stuffing with Blood Orange Beurre Blanc and Fried Onions . ๐Ÿฅฃ Lobster Bisque . . . . . #beingvwithmc #happyanniversary #specialmeal #anniversarydinner #couplesinlove #mixedcouple #mixedlove #culinaryarts #gastroart #chefsathome #cheflife #culinaryexperience #houston #htxblogger #htxfoodies #foodiehouston #foodiepic #houstonfoodstagram #houstoneater #houstonblogger #houstonbloggerlife #myfood #myfooddiary #flexibledietinglifestyle #lobstertails #lobsterbisque #filetmignon #crawfishtails #crawfish #cheatmeal
