Bananas & Cream

My client (Im a self-employed homecare Nurse Assistant) eats regularly cut bananas with International Delight coffee creamer for breakfast.

I asked her about it she says she has always done it (she is 96 years old) and since I love to try new things I tried it myself (before I was Vegan I tried it the way she eats it) I thought it was alright.

Then since I now just LOVE Hemp milk, I decided to switch the creamer to Hemp Milk and it was just delicious! <3 I am now officially out of Hemp milk as of last night but I still have almond, rice and cashew milk left. :p But will be getting more today as well as some more avocados! :D

Later: Well, went to the store, the other store by my house (Smiths) didnt have Hemp Milk :( So I need to go to the original Smiths I got it from. I did pickup soy chocolate milk though and had a coupon.

Adopt a Turkey


adoptaturkey.org

idk how many times I have to say it but THANKSGIVING IS MY FAVORITE HOLIDAY! LOL!

At Thanksgiving, some adopt a Turkey instead of eating one per CNN

Anyway since this year I will be doing Thanksgiving Vegan style #Vegansgiving, instead of eating turkey I learned from my favorite FB Vegan Group about adopting one! I LOVE IT!

So I had my 11 year old daughter help me pick out the turkey to adopt and decided we are going to do this every year. : D

My daughter chose Gable, I cannot wait to get the certificate in the mail! : D

I said NO CHEESE!

I was on my way to work and a couple of times of week I like to have Del Taco Bean & Cheese burrito with red sauce and NO CHEESE. Normally they get it right. Before I was Vegan I used to have with cheese and add sour cream.

Well today IDK WHY but they still added cheese and I was fuming on my way to work, because I was in a hurry & went through the drive-thru and I dont want to complain for fear they will muck up my meal...so I ate it as is.

Then in the afternoon I finally decided to try Cafe Zupas since it was soup, salad and sandwiches. So naturally I got the Vegetarian sandwich but he worked on it so fast I didn't get a chance to say no cheese or pesto sauce (which I think had mayo in it) so again I ate it as is. Kind of annoyed and decided next time I will be more aggressive if I need to be to get my point across but in a nice way :D

Then I was thinking about how hard it is to get Vegan food anywhere. But at least if there are Vegetarian options you can always customize it even more. Which typically anything Vegetarian has cheese & mayo on it depending on what you get.

Now dont get me wrong, I love cheese like the next person but I switched to Vegan cheese which aint no different than what I used to eat. So today I basically today I ate like a Vegetarian :p

Potato Tacos........Hemp Milk

Last night my brother made tacos for dinner (including hamburger meat which I opted out of naturally) and he also made fried potatoes, chopped onion & tomato.

So I made myself a potato taco! On a flour tortilla with diced onion & tomato, some avocado and to spice things up I added tapatio sauce. I thought it was the BEST taco I have had in a long time!

I LOVE MILK! I say it all the time. So I have been trying to find a milk that I can TRULY enjoy as a Vegan! I have tried Soy, Rice, Almond and Cashew Milk so far...Soy was the best but now I have found and tried Hemp milk and I absolutely LOVE IT! <3

The best thing about being Vegan is trying new things and I have always been a foodie and its always fun to get creative and make new things especially as a Vegan. :D
