Harvest Time Stove Top Apple Butter
November 25, 2016
Thanksgiving has come and gone. I hope you all had a wonderful day! Some people might go from Thanksgiving straight to Christmas, but my mind is still on 'Fall' mode, so that means more fall recipes! Apples are just one of the many wonderful foods that are popular during the fall months, and I love to use them as often as I can!
I have always loved apple butter! Its delicious, full of warm flavors and also really easy to make! A lot of recipes are made for the crockpot, but not everyone has a crock pot, so I wanted to make a recipe that everyone could use! With just a few simple ingredients, you can turn delicious apples into terrific apple butter!
We ordered 2 bushels of apples a few weeks ago, and we've been eating a lot of them, but we can possibly eat both bushels before they go bad, so I had to do something with them! I made apple butter with a few and I hope to make apple sauce and apple-pie filling soon!
Ingredients:
7-8 Large Apples, peeled and chopped into small pieces
1 cup Apple Cider
3/4 cup Sugar of Choice
2 tsp Cinnamon
2 tsp Allspice
Pinch of Salt
1/2 tsp Vanilla
2 TBS Lemon Juice
Once you have peeled and chopped your apples, add them to a pot on the stove along with the apple cider. Turn it on to medium/high.
Bring it to a boil and then reduce to a simmer for 20 minutes. Make sure to stir every few minutes to keep it from sticking and burning.
Once the 20 minutes are up, add in the sugar, spices, salt, vanilla and lemon juice.
Bring the mixture back up to a boil and then reduce the heat back to a simmer. Cook at a simmer for 30 minutes, making sure to stir often.
Turn the heat off and taste the mixture to make sure the flavors are to your liking. You might want to add more cinnamon, vanilla or allspice! Transfer to a blender or use an emulsion blender to puree the mixture to your desired texture.
Once you have it blender, add it back into the pot at medium/low heat.
Cook for around 10 minutes, stirring almost constantly to keep from sticking. Then, turn the heat off and allow the mixture to cool. Transfer to an air-tight container or Ziploc back or eat it right away! You can keep it in the fridge for a week or two, or in the freezer for several months!
As I was making this batch of apple butter, I was also making homemade bread! You can imagine how good our kitchen smelled! There is nothing better than homemade apple butter on fresh homemade bread!
This apple butter is delicious on homemade bread, biscuits, muffins, oatmeal, pancakes, waffles, French toast and so much more! It can be enjoyed warm or cold and is terrific by the spoonful!
I really hope you try this recipe out and that you like it as much as I do! Apple butter has always been a favorite of mine and I am so excited to have made some for myself and with my own recipe! If you love it too, please share this recipe with your friends and family so everyone can make homemade apple butter!
Please share my blog with your friends and family to spread the love of a healthy lifestyle and help others become the healthiest version of themselves!

5 Tips for Staying Healthy During the Holidays
November 18, 2016
The Holiday season is upon us! Thanksgiving is in a few days and not long after that is Christmas and the New Year! This means a constant flow of desserts, treats, sweets, indulgent meals and lots of it! And while this food is delicious and fun to enjoy, after several weeks of indulging because 'its the holidays', you probaly aren't going to be feeling very festive!
If you strive to eat fairly healthy, as I am sure you do, seeing as you are reading this blog, then the Holiday season might be a bit stressful for you. You might worry about hurting your friend's or family's feelings by turning down their desserts, cheeseballs or candies. What about all those parties and special gatherings you are sure to be invited to? You could just put your healthy lifestyle on hold for the holidays, which is expected by most people and completly understandable..or you might deicde to tough it out and stick to your ideals as much as possible. I am a vegan, which, to me, isn't a 'diet' that I turn off and on, but its a lifestyle change, which means I am going to eat vegan during the holidays. How am I going to do this? Keep reading to find out!
#1 Learn to Cook!
Makeing your own food is a sure way to insure that you will be eating the way you want to. Make your own cookies, cakes, breads and candies (or don't) to fit your diet, and enjoy those when your friends and family are enjoy theirs! Offer to bring a dish to a dinner party or potluck ( don't be shy! This is often a blessing to the host or hostess!) or at least ask the host/hostess if there will be any dishes suited for you at the gathering. If so, rejoice! If not, then plan to bring your own dish! Its really not that diffiucult, it justs takes some planning! I have several great recipes that are perfect to make during the holidays and share with your friends and family!
Vegan Pumpkin Pecan Pie
Brownie Batter Balls
Sweet Potato Casserole
Easy Holiday Truffles
Harvest Salad
Pumpkin Muffin Tops
Vegan Cinnamon Rolls
#2 Practice Moderation!
One thing about the holidays is, they don't last forever..so, if you want to indulge a little, let yourself...just in moderation. Having a small piece of pie or one cookie every few days or so isn't going to hurt you! On Thanksgiving Day, when people usuing gorge themselves with a huge feast, just practice portion control and you will be just fine! Take a small serving of the dishes you like and you will have a delicious, well portioned meal and feel much better afterwards than if you had eaten multiple portions of everything! This can be applied to any meal really. If don't want to miss out on the food, then just eat a small bit of it and enjoy it!
# 3 Stay Active!
There is nothing better to do during the holidays then getting some exercise! No matter what your diet is, or whether you are sticking to it during the holidays or not, being active is never a bad idea! It helps with digestion after a big meal and burn off some of those extra calories! You don't even have to spend a lot of time working out either! A simple jog or walk around the neighborhood, or doing some home exercises like pilates or yoga is enough to be beneficial! It can be fun too! If you have family or friends staying with you (or you are staying with them) invite them to come along with you! Company always makes exercising more fun!

#4 Be Verbal!
You can't expect people to underand your food choices if you don't explain it to them! Let people know that you are trying to eat healthier, have smaller portions, cut out certain foods or have a food allergy. This way, they know what to make when they ask you to a meal, or even help you find food to eat at a party or potluck. I have found this helpful so many times! If you tell people how you like/need to eat, then most likely they will make sure you always have something to eat, and will understand when you refuse certain foods!
#5 Eat at Home
When you are vegan (or are following any other diet or lifestyle) it can be difficult to find things to eat at restuarants, parties and other people's houses. If you know you can't eat at a cetain place, or you aren't sure, then I suggest eating ahead of time. Instead of sitting there, hungry and wishing you could eat something, you can be full and able to participate joyfully! Don't let this make you feel left out! Accept that you eat differently that other people, and move on! Also, I wouldn't suggest making a big deal about it either! This can make people( especially the host/hostess) feel bad or even kind of angry! Make yourself some delicious food, suited to your needs, and eat it at home before you go to the party (or where ever you are going) and enjoy yourself without stressing about the food situation!
I hope these tips have helped you! I know that I find them pretty helpful! Eating healthy during the holidays doesn't mean your a snob or that you don't care about the holidays, it just means that you prize your health over a cookie or piece of pie! Apply these tips during the holiday season and you won't have to lose your 'holiday weight' or get back on track come January!

White Bean and Kale Soup Recipe
November 11, 2016
Cooler weather calls for warmer meals, and that is just one of the many reasons why I love fall! I love being able to cuddle up in a blanket, drinking coffee and reading....Watching the leaves fall outside in the crisp air and being warm and cozy inside! With the weather (finally) cooling off here, I am getting excited about making more warm and cozy meals like this soup recipe I am sharing today!
I haven't always been a fan of vegetable soups, especially ones with kale in them, but as I have grown, but taste buds have matured! Now I love all kind of soups with all kinds of vegetables( including kale!). Soups are perfect for easy dinner ideas, healthy meals and they even make delicious lunches! Whenever and however you choose to eat soup, I know you will enjoy this recipe!
This soup is vegan, dairy-free, oil-free and gluten-free! Its super simple and yet so full of flavor and textures! Make this soup on those chilly fall evenings and serve it with some fresh homemade bread!
Ingredients:
1 Yellow Onion- Diced
1 cup Chopped Carrots
1 TBS Garlic- minced
1 1/3 cup Quinoa
1 can Diced Tomatoes
2 cans White Northen Beans
9 cups Veggie Broth
2 cups Chopped Kale
2 tsp Oregano
1 tsp Thyme
1 tsp Parsley
1 tsp Ground Mustard
Salt
Pepper
First, get all the veggies chopped. Heat up a pot on the stove and add in the onions. I prefer to do this without any oil, but you can add some in if you wish. Cook until the onions begin to soften.
Next, add in the carrots and garlic. Saute for about a minute before adding in the seasonings.
(Sorry for the picture quality! My camera was getting foggy from the steam!)
Saute the seasonings for a few seconds before adding in the quinoa, tomatoes and beans. MAKE SURE TO DRAIN AND RINSE YOUR BEANS. It makes a huge differnce in the taste of the soup as well as your digestion later!
Cook to warm everything through and then add in the broth. I added all but 1 cup of the veggie broth at first and reserved the last cup for the end. Bring the broth to a boil , add in the kale and reduce to a simmer.
Cook for 25-30 minutes at a simmer or until the quinoa is fully cooked. The quinoa will absorb quite a bit of the broth, so you might want to add more broth at the end( I added my reserved 1 cup).
Isn't it pretty? Its so colorful looking! You can serve the soup right away, or let it cool down and put it in the fridge of a few days or even freeze it for a few months! Its never a bad idea to have soup in the freezer for those days when you don't feel like cooking!
We ate the soup right away with some delicious bread! It would also be great with some crackers or cornbread! I loved this white bean and kale soup and so did my family! Its perfect for families because it is easy to make, full of fiber and veggies and taste amazing!
I hope you try out this recipe and that you love it as much as I did! I really cannot wait to make it again! This is a great recipe to share with you friends and family, so pass it along so that everyone can have a delicious soup recipe this Fall!
I am on most social media sites and I would love to connect with you on one or all of them! Please follow the blog via email and Google as well as on social media!

Fall Inspired Vegan Recipes
October 14, 2016
Fall is here! I love fall so much :) The weather here is slowly beginning to cool off, and it is getting darker earlier as well! We are slowly breaking out the sweaters and cozy blankets and praying that it doesn't decide to warm up again!
Fall comes with its own set of flavors, from pumpkin, cinnamon, and nutmeg to caramel and apple .. the list could go on and on! With these delicious flavors, you can make a million different recipes that are 'fall inspired' to get you in the mood for the season! I have many recipes here on my blog that I have shared with you in honor of my favorite season-Fall! In case you've missed some, or you need a refresher, I am going to share them with you again!

Sweet Potato Pumpkin Faces are a great and fun way to make your meals more festive! These are also great for little kiddos to help them eat their veggies! Perfect as a side item or a delicious snack!
Healthy Homemade Bread is a staple recipe to have anytime of the year, but especially in the fall and winter months! There is nothing better when its chilly outside than a warm slice of bread with jam, pumpkin or apple butter or dipped in some soup!
This Sweet Potato Casserole is on of the best I've ever had(not to brag or anything)! Its super creamy even though there is no butter or milk in it! Its great for the Thanksgiving table!
Gingerbread Cookies are a delicious treat to make in the fall months! They are packed full of fall flavors and are perfect with cup of coffee! For the vegan version, sub maple syrup for honey and vegan cream cheese for regular cream cheese!

New Books+ Ordering from ThriftBooks.com
December 24, 2015
Who doesn't love new books? What about new-to-you books in great condition for a fraction of the price? It doesn't get much better than that, does it?!
I have a list of a ton of books and cook books that I would, one day, like to own. The other day I was searching around to find the best price on a few of the cook books I wanted to order. I was disappointed when the price on the books I wanted was much higher than I expected! Then I found a post on Tumblr about a website that sells thrift books, in great condition, for a much lower price! I immediately went to the site and was amazed at what I found!
This wonderful website is called Thrift Books . It offers a huge selection of books in every genre at a discounted price. When you go to order a book, it will give you a few price options, depending on the condition of the book. The better condition the book is in, the higher the price, but not by too much!
I ordered two books: Chloe's Kitchen by Chloe Coscarelli, and Veganomicon by Isa Moskowitz and Terry Romero. Both are vegan cookbooks, full of wonderful and easy to make recipes! For both books, I paid a litter over eighteen dollars, and the books were in great condition! Just to put that in perspective, the larger book, Veganomicon, is around twenty-eight dollars new!
The two books arrived separately, Chloe's Kitchen getting here first! It only took about a week or so for them to arrive, perfect for someone who finds it hard to wait! I was so excited, and I couldn't wait to try out a recipe!
We had company coming that day, so I decided to make something from the dessert section of Chloe's Kitchen. I used the recipe for the Chocolate-Chip Brownie Bites, but made them into brownie squares instead of bites! Then I topped them with a peppermint/dairy-free chocolate frosting! They were so rich and delicious, I couldn't believe something that good could be vegan!
Our company and my family loved the brownies, and no one knew they were vegan at all! It just goes to show that vegans can cook, eat, and serve delicious and indulgent food!
The other book I ordered was Veganomicon. It is full of amazing recipes as well as cooking tips, information, and the how/what/whys of vegan cooking! It is a huge, hard-back book in great condition! I haven't tried a recipe out of it yet, but I can't wait! I know I will have a hard time choosing a recipe to try!
I am very happy with my purchases from Thrift Books! Both books are in great condition, and arrived sooner than expected! The website is easy to use, and has a huge selection of books! No matter what you are looking for, I bet you can find it there!

I have a list of a ton of books and cook books that I would, one day, like to own. The other day I was searching around to find the best price on a few of the cook books I wanted to order. I was disappointed when the price on the books I wanted was much higher than I expected! Then I found a post on Tumblr about a website that sells thrift books, in great condition, for a much lower price! I immediately went to the site and was amazed at what I found!
This wonderful website is called Thrift Books . It offers a huge selection of books in every genre at a discounted price. When you go to order a book, it will give you a few price options, depending on the condition of the book. The better condition the book is in, the higher the price, but not by too much!
I ordered two books: Chloe's Kitchen by Chloe Coscarelli, and Veganomicon by Isa Moskowitz and Terry Romero. Both are vegan cookbooks, full of wonderful and easy to make recipes! For both books, I paid a litter over eighteen dollars, and the books were in great condition! Just to put that in perspective, the larger book, Veganomicon, is around twenty-eight dollars new!
The two books arrived separately, Chloe's Kitchen getting here first! It only took about a week or so for them to arrive, perfect for someone who finds it hard to wait! I was so excited, and I couldn't wait to try out a recipe!
We had company coming that day, so I decided to make something from the dessert section of Chloe's Kitchen. I used the recipe for the Chocolate-Chip Brownie Bites, but made them into brownie squares instead of bites! Then I topped them with a peppermint/dairy-free chocolate frosting! They were so rich and delicious, I couldn't believe something that good could be vegan!
Our company and my family loved the brownies, and no one knew they were vegan at all! It just goes to show that vegans can cook, eat, and serve delicious and indulgent food!
