Meet Candice: The Edgy Veg

Now here's a girl that knows how to take the hippy, tree hugger, rabbit food, vibe right out of being vegan! 

Candice has a blog named The Edgy Veg and a youtube channel too! I just saw her recipe for Vegan Kale "Doritos!" HOLY COW! I can't wait to try them. Her site is fun and light hearted. Just had to share her with you all. You'll find tons of inspiration.

Or how about this one for some Meatlessly Mouthwatering homemade Vegan Plant based Bacon. Yes I just said Bacon! (you'll never guess what veggie she used)

Sushi with Butternut Squash, Basil & Cream Cheese

Butternut, Basil, Cream Cheese & Cashew Sushi

I LOVE SUSHI!!!  There are so many combos and this one can easily set off a brainstorm of ideas. My thoughts for basic good sushi combos are:

1. Something crunchy.
2. Something soft.
3. Something BOLD flavored. (but only use a tiny bit)
4. Something subtle flavored. (you can use more)
5. Something colorful.

From there you can add:

Something salty.

Something sour.

Something sweet.

Something bitter.

Always try to

Planning for success.

Honestly, I haven't posted in a long time because I've felt guilty for sliding back into a more meaty way for eating. Belly fat came back, energy down, puffy face, etc etc. Like I mentioned in "my story," I've always enjoyed meat and was raised cooking and baking with animal based ingredients. Doing "what's best" isn't always easy, but I know it's better for me and my family when we are eating (and living) a more plant based life style. So

A "Tech-cation" for Meatlessly :)

Welcome New Guest Blogger - Sean Young!

Sean is the newest meatless blogger to join in the recipe sharing here at Meatlessly Mouthwatering! He and his family have been rapidly making the switch to eating plant strong. This is really exciting for me because Sean is a great cook and has so many meat dishes that he cooked, is so creative, that I knew once he started going meatless he would be creating some inspiring, meatlessly mouthwatering food. He has not disappointed! His wife (my wonderful sister in law) Jody is also creating some great food (which I just got to sample last night, yummy) so I'm sure she will have plenty to share too!!! So welcome Sean (and Jody), share away and feel free to post as often as you like!

(if any one else is interested in sharing your meatlessly mouthwatering recipes please contact me and I'll help you get started. It's easy and fun to share great food that's good for you too!)

Crystal Bernard - Her Recipes for Healthy Changes

Crystals four cute kids :-)

Today I'm not going to share a recipe for creating a meatlessly mouthwatering dish. Instead, with her permission, I am going to share with you an e-mail that I received the other day from my amazing cousin Crystal. It's her inspiring story of great steps she's made recently to improve the health and lives of herself, her family and in a way the community around her. You might say it's her recipes for healthy changes. As you read her story I know you will be inspired to make even more healthy changes in your life!

Unleavened Bread - Passover Meal

No matter if you celebrate a Passover or not (I don't but I enjoy the meal every year), you will find this tasty flat bread a treat to have! I make a simple passover meal each year that I usually share with my family and a friend or two. The meal consists of Bitter Greens, Unleavened Bread, Red Wine and Lamb. This year I decided to go with a Vegan version and use marinated grilled Portobello mushrooms instead of lamb. We had one of our best friends, Alex and her two boys Colby & Hudson, over to enjoy it with us.

This first video is for the Unleavened Bread. Enjoy!
