Formerly The Raw Project - Running on a Healthy Vegan Diet
I had to throw the towel in and email my doctor because after 2 weeks the cough and cold symptoms were not going away. So I’m on 5 days of antibiotic to tame possible infections which can cause other challenges killing good bacteria too. So I’m throwing in more pro and prebiotics this week with […]
It has been a strange and disorienting week starting very early Monday getting my mom to the hospital for hip replacement surgery. Since then, it’s been a busy schedule rotating with my sisters helping her recover, staying overnight for the recommended hours of monitoring, working, and still dealing with this damn cold. Thankfully things are […]
Leisurely exploring midtown Sacramento is one of my favorite weekend activities. There are always fun shops, historical open houses, and great options for vegan dining thanks to the Sacramento Vegan Chef Challenge. But finding a restaurant with fresh new vegan options celebrating seasonal ingredients can be a challenge. That’s not a problem at Revolution Wines […]
It has not been an easy week, lots of challenges that have me looking forward to things settling down. The biggest stress source has been getting sick while getting my mom ready for a big hip surgery tomorrow, eek! I’ve been fighting off an annoying cold most of last week, that proved to be something […]
This weekend flew by, I could use another day or two off I think! But it’s been a good and productive weekend with sweet Miko getting in more cuddle time. And gorgeous weather today after two more days of rain. But I’m not complaining about the rain after last summer! I am getting excited about […]
Happy first day of spring. It wasn’t very spring-like today with thunderstorms and hail! But I’m not complaining about getting rain and the sun should be back tomorrow. I am celebrating spring with this simple dressing. I love just about all berries, great in smoothies, oatmeal, and frozen in wine. They’re also great in a […]
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Doing anything fun? Green beer? Not here, we went for a run, tackled house work, saw a movie, and went to Costco which was actually great since it wasn’t crowded for the holiday. I may have even forgotten to wear green, oops. Last Sunday’s meetup at Vegan Plate worked out okay […]
Pho VEGAN-Asian Cuisine is one of my favorite places to drop in for lunch, it’s my relaxing and peaceful break from a busy day at work. And I finally got to chat with the sweet and passionate power couple who brought this welcoming sanctuary to the greater Sacramento area, Julie (Thuy) Nguyen and Don Vuong. […]
I have started the journey of being more active in the vegan community and more social by getting the go ahead to arrange vegan meetups for the Sacramento Vegetarian Society. I have so many ideas turning in my head about fun things to arrange and tonight is our first meetup I arranged which is exciting, […]
Even today, it can be hard to find great vegan options at a restaurant that serves a range of dietary preferences and needs. Too often I’ve had watered down salads, french fries, and/or dry veggie burgers that were a compromise to accommodate everyone. Chef John Van Huynh at Pho Fresh is passionate about pleasing everyone […]
