sugar free marshmallows.
Because of reducing sugar, this is a great recipe.
I’m planning on doing something similar to this: http://www.ehow.com/how_4735818_sugar-marshmallows-home-recipe.html
just with agar instead of gelatin… would that be pretty much my own recipe since i am changing some of it?
I am still looking to see if thats the only option though.

shopping list?
I’m changing my diet a little by reducing my cane sugar and corn syrup from my diet.
Maple syrup i barely eat, I have a bottle in my fridge not even half gone, so i see no need to reduce this.
what is staying is my use of agave (low glycemic index, great for people with diabetes) molasses, and natural sugars found in fruits and veggies.
so my list so far is:
flour- I’m making my...

Please guysss, what’s some brands of granola without honey?
I forget the name of the kind i just bought, but i know that Cascadian farms has a few vegan granola. a couple of them have honey, but there french vanilla doesnt (to sweet for me though) and there mixed fruit granola doesnt (which the mixed fruit is my favorite)

sugars
I’m going to start reducing my cane sugar and corn syrup from my diet on the 4th of next month if i am lucky… I cant till then because we have little in the house.
I’m mainly sticking with natural sweets like agave, maple syrup (pure), and fruits and veggies. I will sometimes use sugar, but not often.
Watchcheapveg:
60 Minutes follows up on Doctor Lustig’s claim that sugar is toxic.
If this doesn’t make you try to reduce your sugar intake, only getting a chronic illness will.
uhm yeah… I am going to try to reduce my sugar content now… hopefully i can get my mom to help buy more healthy foods… and i am making my own bread, sweetened with agave (low glycemic index)

farmers market
so i finally found a ride to the farmers market. :)
I have to pay her 20 dollars next week for taking me (its way out of the way for her, and she is doing it on her own time)
my best friend lizzy (AKA person who is giving me a ride’s gf) had to tell her I’m very trust worthy when i say I will pay someone and give a time to it. I hate owing people money.
so I will be buying the...

so, one mozzarella failure down.
I followed this recipe:http://responsibleeatingandliving.com/?p=1759 and the cheese would not set, at all. I know its supposed to be a mozzarella, but its not supposed to be a soupy sloppy gloppy mess.
so, onto the next try… I do not recomend that recipe at all.
I just want a decent recipe until i can buy the artisan vegan cheese cookbook once it comes out… that is decent enough...

so, I had to start buying plants for my garden.
I was planning on gardening from scratch, but me being a beginner… i kind of killed my starters… so I’m buying plants.
I bought 3 tomato plants and an eggplant plant at the farmers market last week. I’m going up to the college and seeing what they have there tomorrow around 9 or 9:30.
I mainly need a pepper plant, jalapeno plant, squash plant (maybe\hopefully),...

So starting Monday, I’m going to be Vegan until Sunday, or if I like being Vegan I’ll see how long it lasts.
If not, after that Im going to go meat free throughout the week and only eat meat on the weekends.

yesterday was horrible.
literally i was laying in bed all day with chest pains, could barely eat, drank lots of water, and had a box of tissues by my bed. I haven’t had chest pains that severe since i was 13 or 14 years old. I also had stomach pain, loss of balance, severe headaches… yeah i was basically unable to do anything.
today. i feel a little better, still have chest pains but not nearly as bad.

Is it a contradiction that I'm vegan, but pro...
not really. I think people that are pro-life, dont get me wrong because its there opinion but there trying to make it to where people cant have abortions, make it unfair for the people that get raped everyday and get pregnant from it. no one that i know will want to keep that baby. Everytime they see there stomach, its a reminder, everytime they see the child, its a reminder. and thats painful....

I found a toothpaste recipe that looks do-able
I will get the ingredients for it when i get my 75 dollar pay check at the end of the month.
but hear is the link: http://www.tammysrecipes.com/homemade_toothpaste
I really am quite excited about it, because it would be cheaper than buying it (the coconut oil i buy is like, 6 dollars for 31.5 oz.) and i like peppermint flavored toothpaste, and hate to use flouride. so, :) I will have vegan...

so, my day today...
going out to lunch in a few hours with my mom and older sister. the place has vegan options which is great. :)
then going to the whole food store to get my hair stuff and maybe some vegan jerky. :) I’m going to be using the coconut oil conditioner idea, which will save me money since we always have coconut oil in the house now, so i only need to buy shampoo for my hair :)
and then what i...

so my friend lizzy
was talking to me about maybe opening up a restuarant\hotel with me, and i said, it sounds good but i want a vegan restaurant because i hate factory farming and don’t want to support it in any way.

things i want in the near future.
as in probably by summer or end of the year.
1) Ninja kitchen system. (this is top on the list)
- I want this for a couple reasons. one, i only have a little personal size blender that i don’t tend to use often, and if i had this, i have a present for my little sister, because i wont need the little blender anymore. 2, it can do things most kitchen appliances can’t, in one. I could...

vegan cheese.
so most of you know i am trying to make vegan cheese at home because of future costs. (not my own recipes because i am not that talented)
well, I’m mainly focusing on mozzarella lately and it has been a nightmare.
Now when i was a vegetarian my 5 favorite cheeses were mozzarella, provolone, muenster, colby, and pepper jack.
I’m trying the muenster colby and pepper jack from my...

and I’m seriously thinking of buying some at some point in the summer. 1 packet works for 3 months when opened, you put it with your veggies in the fridge or even room temperature, and it keeps them fresh for more than double what they normally would be. This would be a miracle in my house because i am the only vegan and have trouble eating all the produce my mom buys (or that i buy for that...

the incurables.
its a show on veria living, which i turned to when there was nothing on tv, and it was about a 8 year old girl who had brain cancer and they tried everything. the girl was giving less than a few weeks to live and then they were referred to another doctor who recommended a whole foods organic plant based diet and to be watchful of her PH levels. I already knew a plant based diet could reverse...

I haven't posted in awhile
because my food has been either simple, I’ve made it before, not all that great, or just busy i guess. well, I’m thinking about making my own bouillon paste when my garden produces more. :) i think its a good idea, especially since i always buy it, since… I’m not very good at making my own stock.

shaming vegetarians and vegans
if your a vegan yourself, is pointless. I understand that vegetarians should not compare themselves to vegans because they are 2 different things. However, to say that being a vegetarian isn’t a step in trying to do the right thing is wrong. I was vegetarian for a year in a half. everyone converts in there own way, whether its slow or fast. Everyone tries to make a difference in there own...

nuts
so for the moment i have raw almonds (given to me by a friend, making them free) but, For when they run out, i want to know, is it okay to use not so raw nuts in there place to make vegan cheese or milks? and what would I have to do to accomplish this? I’m not rich and I really don’t have the access to raw nuts where i live, so I’m just wondering.
so is it possible?

I love when people transition into Veganism. Through tumblr I have found a huge support system, even though those around me are anything but. I think you are making a great decision, not just for yourself, but for the entire planet. Good luck in your adventure, and if you need any advice, support, or recipes, please reach out.
