one girl's quest to follow her heart... into her food

You can call me vegan, but definitions can get messy. I haven't eaten animal products in a year and a half, but I didn't throw away all my leather shoes when I turned vegan, because I also believe in no waste. I don't eat animal foods for ethical reasons, and I eat plant foods for health reasons. I don't believe that an animal-free diet is right for everyone, but I do believe that a conscious connection to our food is vital. I am a nutritional consultant, and I am in school to further my knowledge of holistic health. I love life and health and think the two are inseparable. This blog ponders what we put into and onto our bodies. We really are what we eat, and because the skin is so great at absorption, we are what we wear, too. Through this blog, I will explore cruelty-free, toxin-free, chemical-free, GMO-free, and big corporation-free methods of eating and caring for our bodies. Hippocrates had it right when he said, "Let thy food be thy medicine."

Stuffed Bell Peppers

Ingredients:

4-6 large, uniformly shaped (ish) bell peppers (red and yellow are the best)
2-4 cups cooked rice (any kind will do)
3/4 - 1 cup taco seasoning (or related spices)
1 package fake ground meat/ soy crumbles/ TVP
1/2 onion chopped
5-6 mushrooms chopped
shredded soy cheese (optional)
water

Start the rice a-cookin'. Wash the peppers and clean out the seeds. Cut in half and place with opening up in glass baking dish(es). Brown fake meat in skillet. Add onion and mushrooms. Add cooked rice and seasoning to meat mixture (or vice versa). Add water. Cook some of the water out. Spoon entire mixture into peppers. Bake on 350 for 45 minutes. Sprinkle cheese on top and continue cooking until melted.

Eat your heart out!
