Thanks for Your Patience!

I apologize for this unexpected break in posting about vegan deals and ways to save money.

I'm on a bit of a forced break while I deal with some challenging medical issues.

I promise to be back to posting regularly as soon as possible, and I greatly appreciate your patience!

Patio Gardening Update...and a Cute, Little Visitor!


I'm very excited to announce that I harvested the first green peppers from my patio garden today. Yay!

Here is a picture of my little green peppers:


And I also had to share a couple pictures of the super cute little visitor that came by yesterday...


And now that you know what little critter to look for, here is one from farther away -- so you can see just how cute it was for this little guy or gal to be hanging out on the basil leaf.






Today's Vegan Juicing Recipe


Today's vegan juice ingredients:


Today's vegan juice was awesome! Since my favorite juice is a tomato-basil-garlic combo, I decided to up the nutritional value by adding kale, carrots, celery and oregano.

Here is today's vegan juicing recipe:

1/2 bunch kale (leaves and stalks)
3 tomatoes
2 carrots
2 celery stalks
1 garlic clove
About 20 basil leaves (from my patio garden - yay!)
About 20 oregano leaves (also from my patio garden - double yay!)

Since I have a wimpy juicer, I used a grapefruit spoon to core the tomatoes and make a hole big enough to stuff with the basil and oregano leaves. This helps the juicer handle leafy greens much better!
