I have been a fairly notorious party animal since college and i always flirted with the idea of taking a year off of drinking to see what would happen and see how my mental, physical and emotional health would be impacted. I also wanted to see if my sleep, workout routines, and anxiety would improve. All of this started with my desire to quit nicotine, so watch along to see what happened after a year of no alcohol!
I'm always looking for ways to use up lentils because they're constantly in my pantry and i KNOW they are a nutrient powerhouse but I don't always know the best way to use them.

So we're trying two of his recipes. get some cozy socks on, sit back, and enjoy.

Okay so we’re going to be Tom Brady today. I’m a Massachusetts girly so I grew up with the Patriots, celtics, bruins, red sox. I really don’t care anymore but if I had to pick an allegiance I always go with MA. Today we’re going to be following Tom Brady, many regard him as the greatest quarterback of all time, he broke a ton of records, but again, I really don’t care. Whether you love Tom or you hate him, you have to admit the man knows how to stay in shape. Being quarterback well into his 40s is insane and what caught my attention is that he follows an 80/20 relationship with eating plat-based, so he’s plant-based 80% of the time. I like hearing this because I do feel like it might be a more realistic split for many people out there that don’t want to totally give up animal products whether it’s for cultural, religious, or personal preference. But maybe you want to do something great for the environment or animal welfare, OR your health by cutting back on meat and dairy.

As soon as I saw this video I was absolutely baffled by these vegan mozzarella sticks and knew I was going to have to try them. They have to be the most realistic looking vegan mozz sticks to date. This recipe is NOT a simple one but I tried it so you don't have to (unless you think you have what it takes) it's an incredible recipe, but get ready to make a mess.
IT'S SUMMERTIME, PEOPLE. This dish is for those of you that are trying to get more veggies in but you also love-a-some-a-pasta! Those of you that have FRESH tomatoes at your disposal, those of you who have friends/ family coming over for dinner and you don't know what to make for everyone, for those of you who don't know what to feed non-vegans! It's also for those of you who want to halve this recipe and make yourself a delicious dinner!

Binging with Babish is a household name here on YouTube, today we are trying his most popular video, that raked in 30 million views. He recreated the iconic ratatouille (kind of) well, a popular variation on it called Confit Byaldi based on Remy the rat's dish in Ratatouille. I have never made ratatouille and I've never even tried ratatouille so today is an exciting day.
I have been a longtime fan of NYT Cooking, they've been helping me with the basic and more intricate recipes ever since I started cooking. I wanted to see what the very highest rated, 5-star, most popular vegan dish would be like. This one came as a surprise to me. This Spiced Chickpea Stew With Coconut and Turmeric wasn't what I was expecting but it just might be your new favorite summer dish.

Hey everyone, I've seen some people trying Pamela Anderson's vegan / plant-based diet (those videos are linked below). I've been a Pamela Anderson fan for quite a while now, I became even more of a fan after watching her documentary, Pamela, A Love Story. I know she's been an avid animal welfare advocate for decades now on top of being a cultural icon. For me, Pamela is empowering and just a really interesting person. So I was beyond excited to see what she likes to snack on!
WOWOWOW PEOPLE, this one knocked me right off my feet. So many of you sent me this recipe and at first glance I thought... eh idk if i wanna do another vegan cheese but THEN i saw the craggy, parmy look taht this thing had and I decided why the heck not. What's another vegan cheese?! Well let me tell you, this one did not disappoint, I was astounded with the final result on this vegan cheese. Excited to share it, hope you give it a try too!
WOWW Okay folks, this one was a wild one. Grimes is a controversial and endlessly fascinating (to me) character. That said, I had an insatiable curiosity about what she eats ESPECIALLY during pregnancy cravings. The results did not disappoint. This one is absolutely as weird as you’d expect. Even though Grimes is on-again-off-again vegan, or plant-based - all of these recipes are naturally vegan

YOU GUYS this cheese feels like it fell from the heavens, it actually came from Kind Academy UK. This vegan cheese is the quickest, meltiest, easiest, recipe for vegan mozzarella that I have ever found. SUPER beginner friendly, it actually gives me hope that more people might try making their own vegan cheese. This creator made it very clear that they wanted to keep the exact recipe on the DL unless you subscribe to their newsletter! So I want to respect that,
My additions to her base recipe (still needs some perfecting but this is a start): 2 tbsp nutritional yeast ¼ teaspoon organic sugar ¾ teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste ½ teaspoon rice wine vinegar (or 1/4 tsp lactic acid)

Is this an old trend? If I'm covering it, most likely BUT as they say, better late than never. If you're looking for a way to wow someone special in your life give this one a go. The lionsmane mushrooms were pricey for me but I still think portobello could be a good work around .

(GF!)Merle ONeal2023-12-13 | If you're gluten free and you happen to love mushrooms and noodles, this recipe is for YOU. I am a huge fan of hand-ripped Western Chinese biang biang style noodles so I knew i had to try these noods out. They're vegan, they're fairly easy, and you won't be feeling as heavy as you might normally with a heaping bowl of noodles.

We’re going to face the real horrors of life. No, in all seriousness, I have been wanting to do a series like this for a HOT MINUTE. I have been working on this mini-doc for about a month now and I'm so glad to finally set it out into the world. I hope that at the very least it makes you think more about the dairy industry and all that is involved in why milk is historically such a staple in our diets. I always want to encourage people to question authority and think critically, so by all means, fact check and do your own research. I get questions all the time from people about why I went vegan, what’s wrong with dairy? Dont you miss cheese? Etc…
I feel like it’s easier for people to understand why I wouldn’t want to eat meat because, ya know, animal there one day, gone the next, but with dairy it’s like…. Cows MAKE milk anyway right? So why wouldn’t we consume it? And milk = butter = CHEESE hello!?! CHEESE the greatest gift to this earth. So like, what’s the big deal?
