EASY Vegan Meals...
PIZZA! YES!!!!!
If you know me AT ALL you know I love pizza!! I rarely eat it because I avoid gluten and yeast PLUS it's a total comfort food so I eat WAY TOO MUCH!!!!
Well...I have an easy vegan solution!! I made this gem the other night and my junk-food hubby LOVED IT!!! Plus, they are small enough so that I can't over eat AND we each made our own so we could put our own extras on it!! BOOM!!!!
So I started w a gluten-free, dairy-free Amy's Pizza. There are a few different brands of gluten-free, vegan pizzas out there like Daiya and Udi's. This is just what they sell at our local store!
On mine I added mushrooms sauteed in garlic and olive oil and fresh basil. OMG SOOOO DELISH!!! Next time I will also add sun-dried tomatoes and extra "
cheese".
Daiya melts nicely and is sold at most grocery stores these days!!
BONUS that hubby requested it again for next week! #BestWifeEver

Workout of the Week...STRENGTH!!
Each week I will feature a swim, bike, run, strength, core, or flexibility workout.
PiYo Push-Up
PiYo is one of my favorite workouts. It includes stregth, core, mobility, and flexibility ALL in one workout!! One of the best strength moves it has in it is called a PiYo Push-Up. It's a combo of a tricep push-up and a squat. Here is a GREAT video demonstrating FOUR different levels (from easiest to heardest) of PiYo Push-Ups AND slo-mo of proper form.
If you want to check out the entire PiYo program here is a taste...
And you can get it on sale this month

Where do you get your Protein???
If you are a vegetarian or vegan you have probably heard this question more than once. Or more than once a day!
It's interesting how many people think that meat is the only source of protein.
When I first became a vegetarian at age 8, I started learning about nutrition. Back then in order to have a "compete protein", you needed to combine foods at each meal. I'm sure most of you have heard of some of those combos.
Some examples are: beans and rice, peanut butter and bread, legumes and quinoa. Okay...that last one was a stretch for an 8 year old but is a great example in today's world. I mean, I know quinoa is an ancient grain and all, but back in the 70s in white trash suburbia, it wasn't a known food!!
