Dealing With Stress & Anxiety
We all know that life brings many obstacles that can lead to long, hard days that bring on lots of stress. Stress can be very hard to deal with and can be problematic on both your body and your mind. A little stress is one thing, but the more stress you have can cause more life threatening effects. It is important to realize when you are feeling stress and deal with it to prevent these future problems to arise. I know this can be extremely difficult sometimes, especially since I am a highly anxious person as it is.
Gluten-free Indian Spiced Vegetables & Raita
This is perfect for a light night of grilling. This meal definitely has some tasty spices with just enough heat. I cooked up some lentils for a nice side addition, but you could also bake some naan to go with it (for a non gluten free option of course). Whether or not you decided to add anything else to the meal one thing is for sure, this is a dish even meat lovers will enjoy with the amount of flavor each vegetable has.
Reducing Your Sugar Intake
After I read an article about the effects of unnatural sugar on your body, I became interested in the topic. I wondered how much sugar I had in an average day. I was shocked by how much processed and added sugar was in my average diet. I then decided that I would try to reduce this amount and instead gain my sugar intake through natural sources.
Raw Vegan Pear & Chickpea Salad
This salad is perfect for a main course. I had some with some gluten-free buckwheat crackers on the side to add a little more crunch to the salad. This also is great to keep in the fridge for lunches or meals later in the week.
Quick & Easy Vegan Apple and Cabbage Salad
This salad is perfect for a small side dish or even as a great addition to a veggie burger. Personally, I had made this dish as a side addition to some asian cucumber rolls for a light summer dinner. I also would recommend adding some nuts, either peanuts or almond slices on top.
Japanese Sesame-Cucumber Rolls
These rolls are a perfect small asian dish that is easy to make and can be saved in the refrigerator and added to lunches later in the week. I had cooked these for a family dinner with a side cabbage salad, however these would also make great party appetizers. Serve with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger.
