Good morning🌈☀️🍁 Nothing like some avoc Good morning🌈☀️🍁

Nothing like some avocado toast to start my day.

I like putting Hommus Duo from @costco which has sun dried tomato and cilantro lime flavors split so 2 flavors  in one container🤗. My @udisglutenfree  multi grain bread, avocado and topped with @followyourheart feta🥰

This food makes me happy☺️ and after a struggling 9 mile jog🏃🏿 and I mean struggling🤦🏻‍♀️ I was very happy to enjoy this tasty breakfast🤗

Hope you all have a wonderful day and eat what makes you happy today💜💚💛

What food makes you happy?

Love this Rissotto🤗💚 Mushroom asparagus wit Love this Rissotto🤗💚 
Mushroom asparagus with sautéed onion and garlic.☺️

I cook the risotto using veggie broth and I sauté half a chopped sweet onion before in the same pan.  Add 1 heaping tablespoon garlic. 

I cook the mushrooms and asparagus separately as the risotto takes a while so I follow the directions carefully so it doesn’t burn or get mushy.

Once everything is ready I add 1/4 cup nutritional yeast and seasoning salt, I like a good garlic salt to taste and top with veggies👍🏻 stir and serve.

Best the second day for leftovers as the flavors all marry together💛
Its not a quick meal but its delicious🥰
What do you add to your risotto?

Thank you @followyourheart for making vegan blue c Thank you @followyourheart for making vegan blue cheese crumbles and dressing👍🏻💚

This Sunday is for football and relaxing and easy dinner🤗 I love a blue cheese @impossible_foods burger on @bfreefoods bread.  People say the hardest thing for them to give up is cheese but I have to say with the new plant based cheeses on the market that should no longer be an issue.

This blue cheese my husband even loves and if you haven’t you must try it.

 What was your favorite cheese if you have one and what brands have you found that you love that are vegan?

Just a little vegan gluten free french toast this Just a little vegan gluten free french toast this morning🤗 

Using @justegg  and @bfreefoods bread this turned out amazing👍🏻

I used 1/2 cup just egg
1/4 c almond milk
1 Tbsp vanilla( YES 1 tbsp). I like it strong flavor😂
A few shakes of cinnamon

Wisk and  Dunk your bread saturate on both sides and cook on medium heat.  It took a little longer to firm up so just monitor your toast to your preference, I don’t like mine soggy in the middle💜

I will be making this again now that I realize how well the just egg worked and tasted☺️

Have you tried just egg in baking yet?
How did it go?

Its another amazing meal from @gourmet_gardencafe Its another amazing meal from @gourmet_gardencafe 

I am a soup lover as you will see this fall as I share some of my favorites but this split pea soup is on of my favorites I found at a restaurant👍🏻🤗

Its still warm here in Florida but there is still a fall sense floating around.  I like soups if its warm or cold always gives me a full belly and a feeling of comfort🤗

Whats your favorite soup?

Made some hearty breakfast cookies that fill me up Made some hearty breakfast cookies that fill me up and give me energy👍🏻

These could be 3 ingredient but I added a few extra🤷🏻‍♀️💚

1 1/2 cup oats
1/4 cup cocoa nibs instead of chocolate chips
1/4 cup shredded unsweet coconut
2 1/2 very rip bananas
1 tbsp maple syrup
1 tsp cinnamon 

Mash bananas and add everything else👍🏻
Heat oven to 350, place cookie shaped mixture on parchment paper or non stick baking sheet.
Bake for 15 min.

And Enjoy

I cheated a bit and sprinkled them after with cinnamon sugar for more sweetness but realistically it didn’t need it.

I think these will be great on my running days when I want a filling but light enough snack to get me through a long run.

Do you like a breakfast cookie?

Its almost Halloween and you might be spending les Its almost Halloween and you might be spending less time in the sun☀️ but you still must always protect  your skin.

As a person with vitiligo protecting my skin is a daily ritual of covered clothing and sunscreen👍🏻

With fall in full swing dressing warmer helps but on warm and cold days the sun still can damage unprotected skin and eyes.

Don’t stop enjoying the outdoors, I never do.  Fresh air is so good for mental health and physical wellbeing🤗☀️🏃🏿💚

Right now I love using @Coola sunscreens, anything with A mineral physical barrier is good for vitiligo.  Yes it leaves a white cast but my skin is moisturized and I can put makeup over it if I would like😉

Any vitiligo vegans have a favorite sunscreen?  How about my non Vit friends? Any great sunscreens that go under makeup?

Perfect snack of mixed melon with hemp seeds. If Perfect snack of mixed melon with hemp seeds.

If you never tried hemp seeds you should.  High in nutrients, softer texture and mild nutty taste that won’t overpower flavor👍🏻

 I add them to salads, fruit, soups, and granola.

Whats some of your favorite seeds?

Dinner is full of fall color🍁

I was in my 30’s before I knew there were other colors of carrots😂. One of the amazing benefits  to eating plant based is the number of new veggies I have found even as simple as new colors of produce🤗. The flavors slightly change in sweetness my favorite is the purple carrot👍🏻

Do you have a favorite color carrot?

Tofu bacon blue cheese salad with @followyourheart Tofu bacon blue cheese salad with @followyourheart dressing is a win🤗👍🏻also topped with follow your heart feta which is amazing🔥

Trying to eat as many greens as possible can sometimes get boring so salads need to change for me to stay interested.

Many restaurants offer salads but its always the same for a gluten free vegan your choice is green salad a quinoa or beet salad depending on the place.  So many times I like to switch it up at home and this was a nice change.  I have not had blue cheese style dressing for almost 6 years maybe more so having this option for something different was nice.

More and more company’s are making the best vegan low sugar dressings that taste incredible making our options grow and its only going to get better💚

For our Tofu bacon recipe check out our blog we also have a free recipe book for you that you can download🤗
Along with shopping list👍🏻

What products have you found that are amazing substitutes?

Take a bite out of goodness with this beet hummus Take a bite out of goodness with this beet hummus and carrot cabbage slaw sandwich @swamprabbitcafe🌈🤗. Its called the Viva La Vegan and I got it on gluten free bread at no extra charge👍🏻

If you are ever in the Greenville SC area or even close you should check this place out as it is located on the Swamp Rabbit Trail which is a 22 mile biking, hiking, and running or walking trail.  The cafe is dog friendly, has a market with fresh produce, local products and seasonal events☺️🎃

Their baked goods are fresh and delish  with vegan gluten free options🤗

 They also have local beers and ciders and wine available with lots of outdoor seating and picnic tables with canopies or shaded areas👍🏻

Definitely check this place out its a good one that highlights local quality food and fun☀️🎉

Do you like going to local farms for your produce?  List yours below so we can check them out.

Sometimes a GREAT CIDER is just what you need for Sometimes a GREAT CIDER is just what you need for a refreshing drink or just a treat.  I love ciders alcoholic or not I enjoy the flavor. These of course are alcohol🤣 thanks to @broskicider for their flights of amazing flavors to try. 

We have had a rough few weeks here at the heartfelt home🥲. As most of you who follow us know we relocated to Florida from California we moved for retirement and to eventually have a home in SC and a vacation spot here to be closer to my parents and enjoy the beautiful surroundings that Fl and SC have to offer.

A few weeks ago our storage unit was broken into, our whole life was in there.  All my photos, personal items, family mementos, winter clothes, tools,  christmas decor and all my photography items camera and lights flashes EVERYTHING😢 

While thanks to my husband we recovered about $8000-10,000 but we are still not sure whats missing as we’ve been unable to go through everything we have left as we moved to a new storage facility which supposedly was struck by lightning YES lighting and knocked the air conditioning out  so if you know Florida in summer can be hot which is why you get climate control.  While the detectives have reported my serial numbers on all my camera and lenses most likely the remaining item about 6-$7000 will not be recovered. 

Its a MIRACLE yesterday was our 27th wedding anniversary and our wedding portraits were stolen.  By the grace of god my husband went to the old storage unit about a week after the robbery and found our wedding portrait in the dumpster🙏🏼💚. Sometimes things have a silver lining and because we were pre digital we could not have replaced this photo.  Small miracles happen all the time make sure you stop and notice.  I will buy a new camera I can’t buy a new wedding portrait💜 now its safe with us👍🏻. 
Have an amazing weekend everyone☀️

Even with the warm weather I crave vegan Pho🤗 Even with the warm weather I crave vegan Pho🤗

As many of you know we relocated and made a big move across the country. We have been here for almost 2 months and I have to say I love the warmer humid weather👍🏻. The humidity is wonderful for my skin not so much for my hair😂. 

That being said we are usually eating in air conditioning so I bring a sweater everywhere because outside it hot inside is cold💚. 

This vegan pho is from Basilica Vietnamese Sake Bar in Boca Raton service was amazing, very nice and accommodating👍🏻 

I love pho because of the packed greens and tofu, its light but filling and the broth with its ginger makes my body feel great💚

If you have never tried vegan pho I highly recommend it.  Tradition pho is made with bone so make sure the broth is vegan👍🏻. Its gluten free made with rice noodles so its an all around great soup bowl☺️

Are you a soup in summer kinda person???😂
