Changes

My life is going to be full of changes in the next few weeks as I prepare to graduate, move home, and start a new job. (Speaking of new job...I was hired today at a place I have had such desire and passion to work!) I have to remember that things always have a way of working out. There is no need to stress over things, especially things too far in the future or over things I can not control. I need to embrace whatever may come and make the most of it.

Reaching out- something new

Today I tried some great new foods that I have never experienced before. I love experimenting with healthy new foods. For the longest time I was reluctant to try new foods, especially fruits and vegetables. My transition to a vegan diet has completely expanded my horizons. I eat such a variety of fruits and veggies and I feel great! I love finding new superfoods that I know gives my body major nutritional kick! So today, I had sweet beets on a salad. The beets were good, I liked the texture. Beets are an unique source of calcium. For dinner, I had, for the first time, rutabaga, celery root, and nutritional yeast. The dish was okay, definitly had potential. Nutritional yeast is great for vegans as it is a great source of protein and B12. Then...for dessert, I had dried mulberries...AMAZING. They are sweet and chewey and delicious! Not to mention the nutritional profile is unreal. Tons of fiber, protein, iron, and calcium...a vegan's dream. Yay, for trying new things. So important! Today I also have been dreaming about opening my vegan, organic cafe in Florida. Its a dream that I think will become a reality.
