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."

Cilantro Taco


I threw this together today, and it turned out wonderfully. I was able to buy almost all of the ingredients fresh from the farmer's market, too.



Tortillas
Soy/Veggie Crumblers or textured vegetable protein
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
1/4 white onion, chopped
1/2 cup whole kernel corn
3 cloves garlic, chopped
2 roma tomatoes, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 can spicy tomato sauce
1\4 c taco seasoning
1 cup cooked rice
salt, to taste
avacado, to taste

Sautee all vegetables in a skillet until mostly cooked. Add veggie crumblers, tomato sauce and seasonings. Cook on low to medium heat until warm. Add rice, continue stirring until warm. Heat tortilla, fill with deliciousness, and devour.
