Recipe - Stir Fried Quinoa with Tofu - WFMW

After some starts and stops over the last couple of years, my husband and I are regularly eating vegan, plant-based, whole foods meals. I'm not someone who likes to make new recipes, so this has been a challenge for me. My daughters have supplied me with some great recipes, but I don't usually see much online that I'd actually like to make. Then along comes this recipe!

Things I Love - Crockpot Time Conversion Chart - WFMW

I love the convenience of using a crockpot (you might call it a slow cooker), but sometimes the hours I have to work with don't agree with the hours the dish needs to be cooked. I might need to speed it up or slow it down, depending on my day.

I was very happy to see this pin on Pinterest that showed me just how to convert the recipe's time in the crockpot from a High setting to a Low one or vice versa. This chart will definitely come in handy for me, and it could be for you, too!

Because this great conversion chart works for me, I'm also linking this post to

Recipe - Black Beans and Rice - WFMW

Here is a classic, simple recipe for black beans and rice. You can make it vegan/plant-based by using water or vegetable broth in place of the olive oil and by using vegetable broth in place of the chicken broth. Easy substitutions!

Doesn't this look good? That would hit the spot on this cold, cold winter day!

Things I Love - Free Cleaning Checklist - WFMW

Lists, lists! I love lists! And I love to make lists that will help me with any number of things. (Let's not talk about whether or not I use those lists after I spend all that mental energy making them!)

I came across this wonderful free printable this morning, and I think you'll like it, too. I found it through this pinterest pin thanks to Barb Hoyer at alifeinbalance. You'll find the web page here at simplyrebekah. Sit down with a cup of coffee or a glass of sweet tea and brainstorm a little. This checklist has 6 sections:

1. Weekly
2. Every 2 Weeks
3. Monthly
4. Every 3 Months
5. Twice A Year
6. Annually

Because free, customizable lists work for me, I'm also linking this post to

WFMW - Lindsay Nixon, Happy Herbivore Meal Plans

I guess I should say that I hope this 'works for me.' :) My husband and I haven't been as strict with healthier eating as we used to be, so we want to get back on track with plant-based eating, following the nutritional guidelines of Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, Dr. T. Colin Campbell, Forks Over Knives, Dr. Neal Barnard, and Dr. John McDougall. To make that easier for me as the primary cook in the household, we purchased a one-week meal plan from the Happy Herbivore website.

 

Lindsay Nixon, the Happy Herbivore, plans out a week of menus (either for an Individual plan (double the ingredients for a two-person household) or a Family plan) and even sends you a shopping list. All that work is done for me for just $5. The meals are plant-based, vegan, gluten-free, soy-free, low-fat, and oil-free.

We're going to go grocery shopping on Saturday and start the week's meal plan on Sunday.

I'm looking forward to this working for me!

Things I Love for Dry Skin

I've tried a lot of products in the hope of finding something that will work on the dry skin and splits on my hands and fingertips. I'm happy to say that there are two products that I have come to love! Lubriderm Intense Skin Repair Ointment (notice it's the ointment) is wonderful stuff! Makes a huge difference overnight on my hands and my heels. I'm sure it would work just as well on elbows and knees. If the dry, chapped areas and fingertip splits are particularly painful, I'll put some Carmex from the stick on them. Doesn't hurt, and heals fast. Usually within a day or two of using the Carmex, I'm able to use the Lubriderm Ointment again.

Find more things to love here. You can also check the guidelines here and add a 'thing' of your own! :)
