Chaka Khan’s Vegan Diet Helped Make Diabetes Meds Unnecessary

Khan told The Detroit News, “I had Type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure. So I went on a radical change of lifestyle. I was on liquids for a year, and that gave me a good jump-start. It sort of changed my whole way of thinking. You have to get the mindset first.” In addition to going off her type 2 diabetes medication, Khan lost 60 pounds. That’s what we call a plant based win!

Chorizo?

Yep…..today I had a taste for Chorizo….veggie version with tofu, yellow peppers, garlic, onions, mushrooms and the seasonings of your choice. I got the bread at the Farmers Market (no dairy or eggs) and it is all grains and seeds. Pretty cool. Used apple butter that was homemade(bought from a coworker) on the toast. Feeling good and about to go on a 2.5 mi walk to the store. Please join the blog and share your plant based lifestyle.

Hey What about Breakfast Today?

Green Smoothie Time! I was driving into work today and saw a guy carrying a box with at least six 32 or 64oz sodas. I was thinking I'd take the smoothie over the soda. Can't get any closer to nature unless you're growing your own. These are a "piece of cake". Kale and what ever your favorite fruit for the day is. This one is kale, banana and a little water. EnJoY! Join the blog and share your plant based favorites. Peace

Root Veggie Chowder with Collard Ribbons S e r v e s 6 Loads of root vegetables make this rainbow-colored chowder particularly satisfying. A final flourish from an orange-balsamic mix rounds out the flavor profile.

You need a hearty meal after a long day and this one from Vegetarian Times its the spot or as some would stay, "sticks to the ribs". No junk food today and drank more water. This recipe had me in a hands on activity. Kinda cool preparing your own food and being in touch with the plants....sure you can alway open a box and add water or open a can of what ever and heat it up but that is far form nature and far from food in it's original state as in not processed. Tomorrow I thing I will try to go raw for one or two meals. Stay tuned and join the blog so you can share your journey with more plant based eating. Peace

Kale and Garlic Soup...."earthy"

Well for today it was raw salad or cooked veggies and roots.....nothing processed. So I found this Garlic and Kale dish that is really good. One can of broth was used. I'll be cutting down and hopefully getting rid of all canned goods if possible. If I don't buy them I won't have them. For the ones I have will use them until they are no more. How's your journey with plant based eating?
Welcome aboard our journey as you probably have an interest in having a plant based diet as well.

So drop in, check on my progress and share yours to. Should be fun creating a healthier lifestyle when it comes to eating.
