Home made Sushi!

I've been craving sushi for a while. It's been months since I've been to Shojin, my favorite vegan sushi place. It's not because I haven't wanted to. I'm salivating right now just thinking about their dynamite roll, but I've either haven't had someone to go with or lack of funds. So, yesterday, the hubby and I decided to pick up a few things from Whole Foods and make our own sushi at home. Yum! It was so scrumptious and oh so easy to make. It almost made me not miss Shojin...almost.

Some brown rice noodle soup to start. 

Sticky brown rice.

I pickled some carrots and cucumbers in some rice vinegar for a few hours. I also added some Sophie's Kitchen shrimp and avocado on top. 

Some organic Shoyu for dipping. I like to squeeze lime juice in mine. 

Veggie Pot-stickers. 

So, next time you're craving sushi and you're on a budget, just make it yourself! :-)

Vegan shrimp and brussels sprouts for dinner!

Made some dinner last night and it was yummy.

I baked some vegan breaded shrimp from Sophie's Kitchen, cooked some brown rice, and brussels sprouts. Now I know that not too many people like brussels sprouts but I love them. My mom used to make me eat them when I was little and at first I wasn't into the sprouts but she sprinkled some black pepper and some vinegar on them and I was hooked. Brussels sprouts have fiber, protein, and vitamin C. They also contain sulforaphane, a chemical believed to have potent anticancer properties. So, please check them out and season them however you like...just make sure you don't give up on them! :-) 

Oh the joy of Vegan Seafood!

I'm so happy to share with you this video about my amazing discovery of vegan sea food. If you know me well, then you know that sea food was a struggle for me to give up but God is good and has helped me to find this yummy product.




UPDATE:  I tried the breaded calamari and it was Delicious!

Even my non-vegan husband loved these!
