Meet Ashley, the girl behind the blog + learn why she went vegan!
My name is Ashley, the girl behind the blog, Eat Figs Not Pigs. Two years ago, my wife and I switched to a vegan diet overnight after watching the documentary, Cowspiracy and learning about the devastating affects that animal agriculture has on our earth. Before watching Cowspiracy, we were like most people…we thought taking shorter showers, carpooling, and even participating in “Meatless Mondays” was making an impact for our environment and for the animals. We were shocked to learn the harsh realities, and mad that all of this information was hidden from us. From that day on, we continued to educate ourselves on the truth behind animal agriculture and factory farming.
I was in Miami on set with Omstars >> we partnered up to create a brand new wellness video series, "10 Steps to A Sweet Simple Vegan Life", that will be launching late 2017/early 2018 on their platform! I shared my top 10 tips to those wishing to improve their health, making this a guide that I wish I had when I first went vegan. I poured my heart into this, and I am still so shocked that it even happened, and I will update you when it's live! It was such an amazing opportunity and experience, and it was definitely nerve wrecking (I stuttered/jumbled up my words about a million times ????) but I figured it out in the end and I learned so much. If you have the chance to check out Omstars I would highly recommend it! It is basically a "netflix for yogis" as they say, and they share a wide variety of yoga courses, educational courses and wellness series with guest teachers just like the one I filmed!

Happy Monday everyone! Today I am coming to you with a new blog post for a dish that Chris and I have been loving recently. The addition of sauerkraut to chickpea salad is life changing... and I know I may be a bit biased as I am obsessed with anything fermented, but hear me out!
These Chickpea Sauerkraut Salad Wraps are super easy to make, free of oil, can easily be made gluten-free, and are perfect for an on-the-go meal.
Meatball subs were a childhood favorite of mine. I had them often, and they were always reminiscent of times with family and friends. Growing up in an Italian household, they were pretty much a staple. Thankfully, we've created a vegan alternative, and in my opinion these vegan meatball subs are way better as they are free from cholesterol, saturated fat, and any of the harm associated with its counterpart.
A unique yet simple veggie sandwich that's rich in flavor and jam packed with an array of nutrients! We're big fans of peanut sauce in our house, and we decided to share with you a new way we have been serving it up.
We were inspired by the 
You guys, we did it. We had a dream, and we made that dream come true. Introducing our epic ravioli stuffed lasagna, that's right, a lasagna stuffed with ravioli + a bunch of other goodies, and topped with a stretchy cashew mozzarella. This will not disappoint, we promise! This is one of those "vegan recipes to impress non-vegans", and if those have a proper name please correct me haha.
