Nonconformity is hard but necessary for me

I would have to say that I have always been a nonconformist. I just never quite fit in with any particular group or place and I never considered myself “mainstream.” I often say I was born under the wrong moon. I was born around 11:30 pm and wonder if my life would have been different if I had been born 30 minutes later — on a different day. I love numerology. I am a 3 life path — the great communicator. I don’t feel I fit that label because I am a pretty introverted person and often choose solitude over being in a group. Maybe that’s why I enjoy my blog. I can communicate, but in my own time and place. Needless to say, I have never quite fit in on this Earth, but am making the best of this life. I know I am here to learn many lessons and, apparently, to teach…

I can’t support Breast Cancer Awareness Month

What? Did she actually say that? I know, I probably made some people angry already, but here are the reasons why I can’t support breast cancer awareness month: First, I am well aware of breast cancer and I really don’t need to be reminded of it. Can we at least agree on that? There are way too many women getting breast cancer, but I believe a lot more could have been prevented if they had the right information which I will share below. Second, I am all about PREVENTION. Yes, let’s focus our efforts on NEVER GETTING BREAST CANCER IN THE FIRST PLACE. Is that unreasonable? I commend the survivors of breast cancer — I know they went through a lot to get through to be a survivor, but wouldn’t it have been easier to never get it? Don’t make yourself the victim here. You have more control than you think. Finally, I cannot and…

Italian Eggplant

This recipe is so yummy and I am not even a huge fan of eggplant. However, I quickly am becoming one. I thought this was the last eggplant from my garden, but I ended up harvesting one more. Lucky me! The video has some pounding in the background from some renovations going on in the house. (sorry — try to ignore if you can). This is truly “real life” video (as all my videos are) — no editing or photo-shopping. Authentic is what I prefer to call it. Grateful to have this creative outlet — even if only for me. There really isn’t much of a recipe but here goes. Ingredients: Eggplant Panko bread crumbs Flour Plant based milk Fresh tomatoes OR a jar of prepared organic tomato sauce Onions, garlic, spices of choice (if you are making your sauce from scratch with fresh tomatoes) Vegan mozzarella cheese (optional) For the fresh tomato sauce: Put…

Coconut cabbage and rice

I learned to make this dish from a local food store I used to work in. This dish is so simple, tasty, and of course, plant based. It is a bit of a comfort food, very filling, and satisfying. When you can, try to use reduced fat coconut milk. Other than that, it’s oil free. The recipe is below the video. If you try this, please comment. Thanks! 1/2 cabbage 1 can coconut milk 1 can tomatoes (or 2 cups fresh chopped tomatoes) Rice Slice cabbage thinly and saute with ¼ of the coconut fat and ¼ cup of the coconut milk. Cook, covered, until tender. Add tomatoes and salt to taste. Cook 1-2 cups rice with the rest of the coconut water and fat. Add salt to taste.
