Kale (Chips!!!)

I turned these 2 Bunches of Kale into a Batch of Kale Chips!!!!

Dinosaur Kale works best, but here I think I used Lacinato (?).

*Wash off all the dirt. *Chop Kale into bite-sizes (they shrink in dehydrator!); I remove the Thick Stem and just use the LEAFY part *Squeeze juice of 1/2 Lemon over the Kale (in a Bowl). Add Sea Salt and grind it into kale leaves with your hands for 3-5 minutes - this softens it. *Add enough Olive Oil to coat the kale to moisten (Don't use more than 2oz!! - the afterproduct will be oily)

Pop those babies in the dehydrator @ 118degrees(F) for about 4 hours :)

Delicious!!! I ate these in just 2 days (it was a LOT of chips); my husband, family, and co-workers enjoyed tasting them too! :)


Dehydrators (2 different ones)

Living Harvest Brand. The One on the left the air moves more thoroughly than the NEWER version (to the Right) of the same brand.

Caesar Salad Dressing (VEGAN)

Recipe in previous post

:)

DELICIOUS alternative to cheesy fishy original (which I also am a fan of - I don't discriminate.. but I am picky when I can be)


Salad, delicious & basic - very Healthy

Organic:

Lettuce, green onions, cucumber, celery, carrots, F.S.A. (ground Flax Sunflower Almond; RAW- Not Roasted&Salted), 1/2 Lemon Juice per Serving, Bragg's Liquid Amino Acids, Bragg's Apple Cider Vinegar, drizzle of Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

: )

One of The BEST things about this:
***it seems like a Caesar Salad dressing - at least in texture (from the nuts) and its SUPER HEALTHY & Vegan :) Nuts are a good substitution for cheese in a non-dairy diet.

Spinach Quinoa Pasta Noodles

Made with wine Tomato Sauce and homemade meatballs


Picture of Brie

From Women love Wine


Women Love Wine & Cheese

I am woman, hear me roar!

I became Vegan at age 16. And I even gave up my favourite things such as Eggs, certain cheeses, and Fish.

It has beiien an interesting time, on my road in wellness.

I have found what has been most favourable to me, and I have decided what I will leave behind.

The Best thing I have discovered is BALANCE (read: Indulge sometimes).

Hence the brie.

To-day I love to eat Fresh farm eggs (Never Fridgerated!!), unpasteurized goat cheese, and wild caught salmon.

I love to live & to Eat responsibly.
