Transitioning From Vegan to Whole-Food-Plant-Based + Brown Rice and Bean Bowl
FACT: I like to swear.
FACT: If I could have lunch with Marc Maron I would never complain again in my whole life.
FACT: I’ve never eaten meat in my life.
I’m not abstinent from meat because I’m a raging PETA fanatic (I’m definitely not), but because my mom and dad raised me vegetarian and it just stuck.
How To Heal Your Body Through Food + Baked Tofu Caesar Sandwich
A guy goes to see his doctor because he’s having trouble breathing. He also has a cough that won’t go away and he gets winded easily.
The doctor asks him if he smokes. Dude says yes, for the past 32 years. The doctor writes a prescription for a heavy duty cough syrup, doesn’t mention the smoking and sends dude on his way. Dude goes home, takes some cough syrup and lights up.
How I Got Over My Fear of Public Speaking + Creamy Leek Asparagus Soup
There were actual beads of sweat on my palms, my stomach was in knots and I wanted to run to the bathroom and throw up. But instead, I hesitantly slipped into my public speaking class. I didn’t even have to give a speech that day. Our teacher was only going to announce the dates that each of us would be making our first speech.

I was never the type of person who went backpacking through Europe, took a year off from college to study abroad or booked a solo adventure through Southeast Asia. I wanted to do all this stuff but I never had the finances or the balls. So naturally, I harbored feelings of pure envy for people who went on these grand adventures, while I was left to my imagination to paint a picture of exactly how cool their trip would be and more importantly, how badass they would look with their cool pack, bandana wrapped head, tiedye scarf and rugged but cute sandals.

Have you ever met one of those people who you HAVE to keep looking at? It’s not necessarily because they’re Tyra Banks hot, it’s because their confidence is unwavering and there’s an essence about them that pulls you in just like McDonald’s Playland hypnotizes little kids. (Fucking McDonald’s).

I don’t put coconut oil in my mouth and swish it around for 20 minutes every single morning like I’m a real life lattè foaming wand because I love the taste and texture of pure oil in my mouth. I don’t. I can’t even come up with anything cheeky to compare it to. Placing a tablespoon of pure oil in the mouth is bad enough. I don’t pulverize and drink cabbage and leafy greens everyday because it’s the yummiest thing since tiramisu (nothing is yummier than tiramisu, and green smoothies should never be compared to Italian desserts).

From Zimbabwe to Texas, and everywhere in between, people just want to feel connected, happy and loved. That’s it. No matter how fucked up, how “normal”, or how many mistakes have been made along the way. No matter how perfect, how squeaky clean, or how hot of a mess you might be.
Read MoreHealthy Vegan Eating In Malaysia? + Balsamic Mushroom Green Beans with Coconut Bacon
Do you remember last week when I told you that I’m not like most vegans? Well, it’s a damn good thing because earlier this week I was asked if I minded my veggies being in the same fridge as a bunch of pork that was being dried out uncovered for a roast pork dish that would be prepared later in the week. I told my host that of course I did not mind and went straight to my computer – I knew exactly what I wanted to write to you about this week.

If you’ve been reading this raunchy little blog for a while, you know a thing or two about me. If you’re a CFDG virgin, I welcome you with a big bear hug – virtual style. (kind of like doggie style but different) <------you'll get used to that. A lot of the people who follow this blog don't eat 100% plant based or even 100% vegan, they just like to add super healthy things into their eating routine. And I for one think this is awesome.
