OR
4-5 California avocados, peeled, halved, and pitted
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro

1/3 cup fresh diced tomatoes
3 large garlic cloves, finely chopped
2-3 large serrano chilies seeded, chopped

Review: Organic Food Bars

Filed under :Reviews

I love bars. Every time Brehane and I head out to Target one of the first things we do when we get there is head for the health bars. Still you have to be careful when you grab a health bar because they are not all created vegan. Following a vegan diet we have to be careful not to pick up bars that have eggs or milk in them. And as a mom who cares about what my child eats, I look out for artificial items and refined sugars along with other toxic ingredients.


Teese Please

Filed under :Reviews

As a vegan who loves the taste of cheese, I have yet to find a vegan cheese that I am just crazy over. The taste has just not been there but I have learned how to adjust and make my own versions of cheese out of various ingredients like nutritional yeast, tofu, nut, and a few others.


Vegan Marshmallow Treats

Filed under :Reviews

I am a snack person but I also know that many snacks are just not healthy for us. Especially for the vegan. I will be the first to admit that I have not always eaten healthy snacks since I have taken my vegan journey more seriously. However, I have learned a lot about snacking healthier and I have been on a quest to find good tasty snacks that are not bad for you.


Watkins All Natural Products

Filed under :Reviews

For the past two months I have had the chance to try the dish washing liquid from the Watkins All Natural Products Line. It was the Lavender Liquid Dish Soap Concentrate and it smelled wonderful.

I am a skeptic and it is hard to sell me on an item. I tend to approach things with a “show me” attitude and I ask a million and one questions.

When I first tried the dish detergent I was thrilled to see that it was really all natural. I read the directions because I think those are important. I noticed it said that for very greasy items you may need to add some more.
