What Vegans Eat – Day 637

Breakfast: Election Day! Gary was so excited he barely slept. He got up early and stood in the long line of proud Americans to vote. I took my time, got dressed up in a pantsuit and a little makeup and went out to vote. I welled up in tears when filling in my ballot. I…

Since I wasn’t planning on making a green juice…

It includes berries, leafy greens and green tea, all the foods Dr. Greger shared with us during the summit that boost our immune system and may slow aging. I’ve added a little turmeric powder to the mix because of its anti-inflammatory…

Sauerkraut is so easy to make and I love it. I can’t believe it had taken me this long to make my own at home! I looked up a few recipes online and then went to making some. I am still perfecting it to my personal tastes. For example, one recipe used 2 Tablespoons of…
