As some of you may have seen on my Instagram and Twitter accounts, I attended this year's Natural Products Expo West, which is the world's largest natural, organic and healthy products event! I went through my photos from the event, and I ended up taking around 200, WHAT?! I definitely could not post them all here, so I decided I would share with you all some of the highlights of the event, and products that stood out to me most. Since we looked at thousands of products throughout the 3 days, I narrowed it down to quite a few, but I promise you I made this worth the read! I categorized everything as best I could, so head to whichever you are most interested in <3 (There is no particular order for everything that is listed). Natural Product Expo West 2015Of course I had to rock my Green Juice Tote at the expo, SSV represent ;) I made sure I packed fruits for the weekend, and they really helped since I was on the go. The expo had a lot of sweets and snacks throughout, but nothing that I would want to make a meal out of. The one things I suggest to you all is to be prepared! You never know how your day is going to play out, and is better to be safe than sorry.

On Sunday, January 25th, I am happy to share that I was privileged enough to attend the first annual LA Cookie Con at the Pasadena Convention Center! I forgot my camera, yet again :( So please be ready for some iphone photos! Hey, they work so don't judge me haha.

+ OH! And there is a HUGE giveaway at the ends of this post, worth over $200, make sure you check it out!

What is the LA Cookie Con? At this convention, sweet masters from around the country came together to show off their recipes and wares. It included demonstrations, cookie-eating contests, baking contests, current and upcoming products (both food and non-food), and fun for pretty much anyone. It was headlined by Food Network’s “Sweet Genius” host Ron Ben-Israel. The event also raised money from proceeds to benefit Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. Official program is available here, for those interested in possibly attending next year <3 I decided I would take you through my day at the La Cookie Con. I discovered a ton of vegan and gluten-free foods and products a for you all to check out. LACOOKIECON875

Organic-Dried-Fruit-Compote-e1418354881392-739x1024 After Thanksgiving, I realized that I had a lot of leftover dried fruit and I had to figure out what to do with it! Well, after getting my hands on a copy of the book Veganish: The Omnivores Guide To Plant-Based Cooking, I found a recipe! I read and reviewed this book on a previous post, which you can find here <3 I definitely recommend this book to those that are transitioning into a plant-based diet. It covers basic topics of transitioning as well as specifics in cooking techniques that will help you improve your skills in the kitchen as well. Dried Fruit Compote & Giveaway

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.
