Hey Kelly! I was cruising the Caribbean last week, with no internet access, so haven't been able to swing by and look at your journal until now. Awesome job with consistency and dedication! I've gotta get my groove back, so seeing that you're still on track is motivating to me. Thanks!!

Yes, thanks! Soooo wonderful! It's the Holistic Holiday at Sea vegan-themed cruise. Check it out at http://www.atasteofhealth.org. It's an amazing week of fun and learning!

 

yeah I checked out the site a few weeks ago and I was suuuuper jealous of everyone that went! Looks like a great time and something I would be very into doing in the future. Glad you had a wonderful time.

the tempeh ruebens i created myself. i wanted to do something for st pattys that was vegan and kinda healthy. turned out good. my husband really liked them. the sauerkraut makes it awesome with the tempeh that is super soft.

the nut berry pie is from a raw foods class i went to a few moths ago. super simple. just take 1 and 1/2 cups of raw nuts and soak them for a few hours. i use a mix of almonds and walnuts, drain them and then stick in a food processor with 1 cup of dates. this will be the crust. so just press it in a pie dish

the filling is just 4 cups of berries, I used a mix of strawberries and blueberries, but anykind works. 1 tbsp agave nectar. just bleand in food processor and then pour into pie crust and let sit in refirgerator for a few hours. the berry mix thickens up and is good to go!. i usually have some extra berry filling that i use in my oatmeal the next day!
