Why I've been inactive

Hey guys. I know this is not about food but I just wanted to get on here real quick and explain why I have not been active on here the past few months. I think the time has come to say that I am a full time student. I at this time would prefer not to share where I attend school but basically, the spring semester was crazy and pretty much anything that was not school related had to be put on the back burner. I've had friends and relatives ask me how do I do it all. I'm going to be very transparent with you right now and share some thoughts that I'm sure you all can relate to: I don't! Just like all of you, I'm only human. There's only so much I can do and as much as I strive to be honest and transparent with you guys, the truth is that social media is my highlight reel and you don't see everything or even most of what goes on in my day to day life. I can guarantee that for every person you think has their stuff together and "does it all", there is at least one area in their life that is suffering. For me, that has been running this blog and the associated social media because school was increasingly demanding and had to prevail. Now that school is less stressful, I'm still finding it hard to get back to running social media because it's been awhile. I know it'll only be harder the longer I put it off so I have every intention of getting back into it. In order to do that, I need your help.

I need some ideas for things to talk about now that I'm getting back on here. What would you guys like to see?

Vegan Pad Thai

So this is an original recipe of mine that's fairly easy to do but demands your full attention. Trust me. I've had one too many disasters in the kitchen when I did this one the first few times. Probably not the best recipe to do if you have to leave the kitchen unattended for even a second. However, if, like me, you find cooking therapeutic and are looking for an unrushed meal to prepare, this may be just what you're looking for. For you gluten free folks, this is gluten free as is. If you're nut free, suggestions for adaptations to make it nut free but just as amazing will be at the bottom after I discuss the recipe Ingredients: 1. A pack of rice noodles 2. Half a block of tofu, chopped or diced 3. 6 or more green onions, chopped 4. 4tsp peanut butter 5. A handful of chopped almonds 6. Himalayan salt 7. Garlic powder 8. Grated ginger or 1tsp maca powder 9. Red pepper flakes 10. 2tbsp coconut oil Procedure: 1. Prepare rice noodles according to package instr

Product Review: Seneca Original Apple Chips

Occasionally, I'll buy or be gifted some new products to try, and a big source of said products I try are airplane snacks. I know a few flight attendants, and I also know a few people who travel a lot because of their jobs but don't work for an airline. American Airlines is through the roof when it comes to both healthy and not so healthy vegan snack options, and the options, especially in first class but probably also in main cabin, rotate seasonally and are ever changing. My travelling friends and family bring home some of those items for me to try and see what I think of them. Some I have liked and some I haven't. One of the products I've been introduced to this way is Seneca Apple Chips, original flavor. I wouldn't rank them quite at the top but I would absolutely not rank them at the bottom either. This post will cover my thoughts regarding the taste, nutritional profile, and what I'd be inclined to do with them. What I like about them Not greasy or me

Cinco de Mayo as a vegan

Happy Cinco de Mayo! When you think of the anniversary of the Mexicans winning the Battle of Puebla, what comes to mind? For me, it's food, food, and did I mention food? You will meet few people who love Mexican food more than I do. One of my favorite things about Mexican cuisine is how easy it is to make it vegan and on Cinco de Mayo, I don't need an excuse to load up on it. I made taco bowls for lunch today from cooked quinoa, lettuce, tomato, red bell pepper, salsa, and a chopped black bean burger patty. The salsa I used is the Tostitos original one. I grew up loving Tostitos products and I'm super happy that I don't have to give them up to live this lifestyle. My go to black bean burger patties are from the brand "Gardein", which makes plant based imitation meats 100% vegan and all of them that I have tried look and taste like the real thing and are quick and easy to prepare and I absolutely love them. What vegan Mexican foods do you like? How did y
