Don’t be left Hungry at the Dinner table this Easter!

Happy Easter Weekend Fam!

I'm shooting you a quick note to say don't be hungry at the dinner table this year.  Just because you are vegan, or making a lifestyle change by eating better.  Take this advice, the 7 P's.  

Prior Proper Planning, Prevents Piss Poor Performance!

Make a meal for yourself to take with you.  I do this all the time. I travel with food so that I'm not sitting around watching everyone else eat.  I know that I have dietary restrictions, and I can't put my restrictions on everyone else. I'm vegan, and I'm allergic to dairy. That doesn't mean I can't eat.   Follow the 7 P's and prep food to take with you, and make enough to share.  You could change someone elses outlook on eating better.

Is Your Salmon Safe?

 

The fish industry, Salmon in particular, is facing an increase in parasites ... worms ... in this case - Sea Lice. Note that Sea Lice IS naturally present in Wild Caught Salmon, however it is thriving heavily in the Farm Raised environment, so much, that it is disruptive.

This could mean that the fish that ends up on your plate has the parasite (that you would then ingest) or toxic chemicals will be used to "control" the Sea Lice (that you would then ingest).

If you choose to eat fish as apart of your diet, be EXTREMELY CAREFUL and PICKY in your selection and source of fish as you don't want parasites to choose you as their new home. As yucky or extreme as that may sound - it's the truth guys - and if you must, we suggest you purchase Wild Caught over Farm Raised - as the fish comes from it's natural environment.

Protect your temple and consider transitioning to a more plant-based diet.

Spring Cleaning for the Home, Mind, and Soul

Happy Sunday Family 🙂

Today on our weekly podcast Music and Meatless Meals, we talked about spring cleaning, because its March and let's face it people - it's time.

When you hear "spring cleaning" the first thing that comes to mind, is the home.  Getting the house together and organized.  Damon Johnson of DJ Realty Solutions, gave us some amazing tips as you clean room to room, and closet to closet.  Get 4 totes, label them Keep, Throw Away, Sell, and Donate. That way everything has a place, and when you are done, you can bag it up and get it out of there.  No need keeping something you wore, when you were 21 and you're 40 now.  Different seasons people!  Different seasons! Cleanliness is next to Godliness.  Don't block your blessings with all that clutter.
