Black Rice Pilaf + Veganish Book Review & Giveaway"Eat Smart, Get Healthy and Feel Beautiful Inside & Out"

Today I am going to review for you another resource that I recommend as part of my How to Adopt A Plant-Based Diet and Succeed. What I have here today is Veganish: The Omnivores Guide To Plant-Based Cooking. This book is definitely something I wish I had had while transitioning into a plant-based diet from a standard American diet. It covers literally every aspect of plant-based cooking, both nutritionally and culinarily. It basically helps you transition with no fears, worries or temptations. It covers any and every type of recipe you may be craving, and will help you prove to yourself, and the world, that living this lifestyle is not only easy, but it is enjoyable and such a beautiful way to live.

If you have ever dreamed of having a personal chef  to provide you with not only a healthy diet, but one that is great tasting, this book will do just that. Veganish offers a holistic approach to food that will make you healthy AND satisfied. This book will be your go-to guide.

Today I am excited to be featuring the beautiful Ellen Fisher! I have been following Ellen since the start of my Instagram, and she has contributed so much knowledge as well as inspiration into my journey. She is a high carb, low-fat raw vegan momma of a beautiful son, Elvis, who was raised raw vegan since birth and has a new baby on the way! If you are not already following her on Instagram (which I doubt), head over to her page and give her a follow. Not only did I interview Ellen for the fact that she has been an ongoing inspiration to my vegan journey and I knew she could do the same for you, but also because she is a vegan mother, and could provide my readers with more information regarding vegan parenting and that realm of things since I am not in the position to do so. So without further or do, let's get to know Ellen Fisher <3

Guest Post: Ellen Fisher + Raw Mango GelatoThe very first question is, of course, why did you initially go vegan?

Sweet Potato Chocolate Mousse Pecan TartIt's finally time to roll out these healthy holiday desserts! I was trying to keep this recipe under wraps until mine and Yvonne's Sweet Eclectic Thanksgiving Collaboration was complete, and it was so hard to keep this to myself. We created two dessert recipes for you all to try this year, each with a unique flare of its own. What we came up with was this Sweet Potato Chocolate Mousse Pecan Tart and a Raw Pumpkin Spiced Mamey Cheesecake. Both recipes are gluten-free, soy-free, and of course, 100% vegan.

2Raw-Pumpkin-Spiced-Mamey-CheesecakeThe perfect Thanksgiving recipe for your menu this year, using a special, unlikely ingredient! Click here for our FULL Vegan Gluten-free Sweet Eclectic Thanksgiving menu. Mamey sapote always reminds me of pumpkin and sweet potato, and pairs well with the spices often used with those ingredients. When I was brainstorming a dessert recipe to create for Thanksgiving this year, I wanted to share with you all a unique recipe. I remembered that I had mamey sapote in my freezer, and voila, this recipe was born. (If you don't have mamey, you can try subbing in pumpkin or baked sweet potato).3Raw-Pumpkin-Spiced-Mamey-CheesecakeIt's finally time to roll out these healthy holiday desserts!
