(Day 2 and 3 of the Vegan Challenge:
Yesterday, Vegan Carrot Cake Oatmeal for breakfast, homemade raw bars for a snack. leftover Edamame Caviar with Guacamole and Tortilla Chips for lunch, homemade trail mix for afternoon snack. A new recipe, Carolina BBQ Vegetable Soup for dinner (with shrimp for the boys).
Today, Apple, Walnut and Flax Oatmeal with Almond Milk for breakfast and a new Curried Quinoa and Chickpea Salad recipe for lunch. We're going to a potluck tonight for dinner, so I'll be having BBQ Baked Beans and a tossed salad with pecans, dried apples and some bell peppers.)
One of the early lessons of this Lenten Vegan Challenge is: plan ahead. Even as a long-time label reader, I have been amazed at all the seemingly vegan products have hidden dairy, butter or honey in them.

I'm always on the hunt for new ways to serve up side dishes. We love rice in the Sweet Pea family, but often it is served under something...beans, a stir-fry, soup or gravy. Here's a rice dish that stands quite nicely on its own.
Simple Wild Rice with Rosemary and Cranberries
1 cup wild rice
2 cups water
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
1/4-1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup dried cranberries
Rinse and drain the rice. Combine the rice and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce to low and cover. Let simmer, covered, for about 30-40 minutes. (Wild rice blends can vary in their cooking time, so you may want to double-check the recommendations of the packaging)
Once cooked, add the remaining ingredients and stir well.
Serves 4.
The nuttiness of the rice blend, coupled with the sweetness of the cranberries and earthiness of the rosemary creates a lovely trio of flavors!
Life is sweet,
SPC

My husband and I have been having lots of problems living together, he never gives me attention or makes me happy because he has fallen in love with another woman outside our marriage. I tried my best to make sure that my husband leaves this woman but the more I talk to him about it the more he makes me feel sad and unhappy, My marriage started leading to divorce because he no longer gives me attention. I wanted to forget him but i love him and didn't want to lose him. We have been married for years and he is all I could call a true best friend and best in all, the man that handles my problems perfectly, the man that makes sacrifices for ,my happiness. I wanted him back in my life badly and I was so confused. My Friends told me to buy books about relationships, so I went online for relationship books while I came across a spell caster called Dr Emu. I read testimonies and reviews about him so I contacted him immediately, explained my problems to him. Same day , he casted a spell for me and assured me for 2 days that my husband will return to me and to my greatest surprise the third day my husband came knocking on my door and begged for forgiveness. I am so happy that my love is back again and not only that, we are about to get married again, he proposed. I wouldn't stop talking about him. Contact him today if you need his help via email: emutemple@gmail.com and you will see that your problem will be solved without any delay. Website: https://emutemple.wordpress.com/
