Vegan Cheese Options By EatParma.com
Have you seen Forks Over Knives? I watched it about a year ago as well as several other documentaries. About six months ago I transitioned to a mostly vegan diet. I am not quite fully vegan yet but working on getting there. Last night I listened to a podcast with Jane Goodall and Dax Shepard. What a great podcast that touched upon animal rights of all varieties but also touched on veganism and protecting the environment through a plant-based diet. As much as possible in my current lifestyle, I make plant-based choices over anything with meat. The exception for me is eggs. If I know who has the chickens and…

The Complete Plant Based Cookbook
This post contains affiliate links. I recently started my plant-based journey. Although I am totally not perfect, I am far better than before. The key though is variety. Now I can tell you that I love eating plant-based. The colors are amazing and everything is so flavor-filled. The biggest problem I have (as so many people do) is time. The Complete Plant-Based Cookbook has so many great recipes so there is always something to consider for meals. Additionally, if I eat the same boring thing all the time my family won’t be interested in what I am eating. Right now they often are interested in what is on my plate…

Koita – Plant Based Milks, So Many Great Flavors
Several months ago I switched to a plant based diet. Many factors had led me to this decision but the final step was how my health all of a sudden started to deteriorate. What happened to make my health deteriorate so greatly and so quickly – who knows. It could have been a virus, too much stress from work, or just stuff that had been lying dormant. But either way I needed to do something and quickly to help lessen the symptoms. Eliminating dairy was an absolute necessity. I already knew I never felt well after consuming any kind of dairy. Although I never did consume much of it, there…

LEHI MILLS – Plant Based Double Fudge Brownie Mix
This post contains affiliate links Recently I transitioned to vegan. The rest of the family has not though. I am not beyond feeding them vegan items though to see if they can tell the difference. Lehi Mills has some amazing bake mixes that no one can even tell are vegan. These Lehi Mills vegan double fudge brownies are delicious. They look completely like non vegan brownies. As you can see the only thing that needs to be added is water and vegetable oil. The batter comes out a bit thick – almost as thick as cookie dough but it definitely is a nice texture once baked. Their vegan brownie mix…
