Weight Watcher Vegan Delights!
My relationship with food has really changed since switching to a plant based/vegan lifestyle. I continue to feel like my cravings for sweets, and processed foods are going away day by day. I have a huge amount of energy, my mind feels clearer, and I continue to sleep so incredibly well. I still go to Weight Watchers, and am using the meetings as an additional layer of support during my weight loss journey.I recently read Dr. John McDougall book, "Starch Solution." This is a great place to begin when exploring a plant based diet. The book is informative, easy to read, and has some delicious recipes.
As I continue to lose weight I am exploring different ways to cook my veggies. Yesterday I was at my mom's house and she had baked some organic pumpkins. I took a few home and made a vegan soup filled with all sorts of veggies. I decided to use the baked pumpkin as my bowl when serving the soup. So amazing!
When I have a sweet tooth I look to fresh local produce as my sweet treat. With the summer fruits slowly exiting from the store I look forward to incorporating new fall fruits. These organic figs are not just beautiful to look at but they also taste so good.
My Mexican inspired bowls continue to play a large part in my weekly meals. They are easy to make, and so very satisfying. Brown rice as your base, add whatever veggies you like and a splash of Sarrachi or BBQ sauce. This bowl is a meal I never seem to be getting sick of.
