Why Are You Here?

Why Are You Here?|Your Mom’s Vegan

Why are you here? I don’t mean that in a questioning your existence sort of way. I mean here, as in on a vegan blog written by middle aged vegan mom.

Maybe your mom’s not vegan. Maybe you want to be and need to have someone like a mom that you can go to with questions.

Are you vegan, but maybe a junk food vegan and you’re hoping to start eating a more whole food…real food…diet?

Have you heard a bit about Dr. McDougall’s way of eating that is high in starch, low in fat that excludes oils and most processed foods? Are you interested in learning how to cook and eat this way daily?

Maybe you want to lose weight. Maybe you want to reverse a lifestyle type of disease like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, heart problems, arthritis, MS, Lupus, colitis, Crohn’s, etc.

Maybe you are vegan just for the animals and you’re just looking for some support with the food side of things because you need to stay healthy too.

That’s why I’m here. That’s why I started this blog. I want to help people do what I have done by learning to cook food that is tasty and good for our bodies. I’ll be your vegan mom. Or daughter. Or friend.

So tell me what you need. And I’ll try to point you to recipes (mine and other vegan bloggers), articles that explain the science behind this way of eating and anything else that will help you achieve your health-related goals.

Use the Contact Me button at the top of the page to ask me anything related to my choice to live a plant-based, oil-free, gluten-free vegan diet. I’d love to hear your questions and concerns and I’d love to help you on your journey to a healthful, compassionate life.

Vegan Not-Tuna Salad

Doesn’t that look delicious? And it is so reminiscent of tuna salad, I bet that you could pull this sandwich out of your lunch bag at work and people would think you are eating a tuna sandwich.

Except…no stinky tuna. And no fat laden mayonnaise.

There are many recipes for a tuna salad replacement for vegans. Just google vegan tuna salad and you’ll see bunches of them. Many of them use vegan mayonnaise though, so that didn’t work for me and my oil-free way of eating.

My search was over when I found this recipe on one of my favorite vegan blogger’s page. I liked his recipe so much that I asked to post it on my blog and he liked my photo so much he asked to use it on his blog. I love it when sharing happens! The link below will take you to the recipe. I’m a little scared to send you over there because his site is so awesome you might forget to come back. Please come back!
