Blackbean burgers

Dinner tonight included black bean burger with roasted red pepper and sautéed asparagus with broccoli and garlic.

Indulge a Little

Black bean brownies are a delicious, guilt-free indulgence. They contain no sugar or flour, but they are yummy especially when topped with strawberries.

Food Prep

We try to prep at least three days of food on Sundays. My food for the week is always the same--fruit for breakfast, salad with vinegar for lunch, and veggies in the afternoon. I will also have an apple and banana throughout the day. Prepping several days on Sunday makes it easier to eat nutritarian during the busy week.

Sunday Dinner

Black bean and sweet potato burger on whole wheat vegan rounds with jicama slaw.

Weekend Lunches

We used to go out to eat on the weekends. Now, we usually have smoothies for lunch on the weekends. We use frozen fruit to get the icy consistency we like without adding ice.

Today's smoothie was made with:
Frozen pineapple
Frozen mango
Fresh bananas
Fresh coconut water
Almond milk
Ground flax seed

It was delicious.

Yummmmm

It is easy to stay the course when breakfast is this delicious. Make food that you want to eat!!!

Vegan Pizza

I have been bummed out because all of the food we had been eating tasted the same. The flavors were not robust, and I have been left wanting something more. I wondered....is it the lack of salt? Today, I was soooooo surprised by the absolute burst of flavors in our vegan pizza.

The sauce is made with sautéed
Onions
Garlic
Tomatoes
Red peppers

We will make this one again!

As always, we paired our pizza with a giant salad (the picture shows my mostly eaten salad). The salad IS the main course.

Getting Started

My family has transitioned to a nutritarian lifestyle. That means that we eat a diet of nutrient dense foods. Our diet is completely vegan and free of processed foods. We are following Dr. Fuhrman's diet from the book Eat To Live.

This our journey as we try to live this healthy lifestyle and experiment with different recipes.
