As you know, we've been playing around with some recipes that fall in a line with a whole food plant based lifestyle. Have you seen the documentary "Forks over knives"? Yeah, it's that type of eating. And we are really enjoying it. It's balanced, filling, and non restrictive. Definitely a lifestyle (which is good, because I'm not about that diet culture life). So, since the holidays are here, I figured I'd test out a recipe inspired by my super talented friend Amber of Eat Your F@#*ing Vegetables .

When I was a little girl I would visit my grandmother in Rena Lara, Mississippi. She was always in the kitchen, cookin' this, bakin' that. And bless your heart if you ask her for a recipe. Try as she may, she doesn't know how much of this or that she added. Her cooking style was all about intuition and I've realized that's totally where I got it from!

This cold, rainy weather has me all in the mood for baking bread! The recipe was inspired by this recipe from My Sequened Life with several alterations to make it vegan and a to simplify the process a little a bit.

This week has turned out to be one of the most stressful weeks ever! I have a lot of really awful things happening in my personal life and I'm doing my best to stay in a positive mindset. Today, I thought about giving up on the #bloglikecrazy challenge. My attention has a lot of really important things to focus on right now, but I've decided to try to stick with it. Any of my other blogger friends out there taking the November challenge? What methods do you use to stay consistent?
