9 Quick Tips to Beat Winter Sickness

November 21, 2016 by Jillian Leave a Comment

9 quick tips to beat winter sickness

Nobody likes being sick. Well, there was a brief period of time as a child that I looked forward to staying home watching television all day when I had a cold or the flu. But now, getting sick is something that I dread and try to avoid at all costs 😷🤒🌡

Since I’ve gone vegan, I’ve noticed that I get sick way less. Pre-vegan I battled allergies/sinus/colds at least twice a year plus any other illnesses like the flu, 24 hour bugs, strep, bronchitis, etc. The only time I get sick now is seasonal allergies once or twice a year and if I take action as soon as I notice symptoms, it goes away a lot faster and isn’t as agonizing.

Whether you’re vegan or not, these 9 easy tips can make you feel better a lot faster. They will help you fight sickness in a much healthier, all natural way that your body will be thankful for. You can still incorporate your regular medicines if necessary. These suggestions will just boost your immune system for a speedier recovery this winter!

5 Little Known Health Hacks

5 little known health hacks

A line up of all my favorite health and beauty products☝️ 💯 🏆

Like, if I was on a deserted island and I could only bring 5 things with me, these would be them (except maybe the coconut products if there are coconuts on said deserted island 🌴 but even then I probably still would…)

You probably already know how healthy these items are – like the healing properties of turmeric when used as a spice, or replacing regular table salt with Himalayan pink salt, or that coconut oil is not only great for cooking but as a moisturizer too!

But these superfoods have other health benefits that you may not be aware of 💁so I have a list of my 5 favorite little known health hacks that are crazy easy to incorporate into your life.

Salt & Vinegar Brussels Sprouts Chips

March 1, 2016 by Jillian Leave a Comment

brussels sprouts chips

I’ve been super healthy all week. No french fries. Not a lot of processed foods. But I’m craving something salty. I loooove chips. They are my weakness. So I decide to have a snack and pour myself a nice bowl of brussels sprouts chips?… No, I haven’t gone bonkers. And I know that chips and brussels sprouts aren’t normally put together in the same sentence. But for all you plant loving people out there that have made or eaten kale chips, it’s the same concept.

Crispy, salty, slightly tangy chips made from bite sized brussels sprouts that are drizzled in olive oil and baked in the oven. Yes. So much yes 👌🎉

Did you know that this stinky, cruciferous veggie contains more cancer fighting phytonutrients than those found in kale, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, or mustard greens? Brussels sprouts are also anti-inflammatory, good for heart health, promote digestive support, and when cooked properly they contain tons of vitamin K, vitamin C, folate, and a host of other nutrients.

Popcorn Tofu Chikin & Sauteed Veggies

popcorn tofu chikin & sauteed veggies

This is my new go-to dish. I love it so much. The popcorn chikin is crunchy, the sauteed veggies are savory, the sauce is tangy, the nutritional yeast gives it a hint of cheesiness, and I wash it all down with a refreshing glass of apple cider soda (recipe below). It’s really perfect. I think I could eat it everyday. Plus, the tofu really looks like a chicken nugget on the inside!

Hobbs is my pal in the buddy program, which means Hobbs is my pal in the buddy program, which means I spend special time with him. I used watercolor to paint this sign for him and included his bio! He can be very shy, but now people can read more about him and see what a sweet boy he is. I also recently got another buddy, a pony named Fergus, who lived with Hobbs in his previous home! 💗

This is me comforting Captain, a donkey at the res This is me comforting Captain, a donkey at the rescue ranch I volunteer at, on July 4th. I noticed him laying down, which I've never seen him do before. When I went in his pen, he let me sit down and hug him, which is not normally how he is. He's not super affectionate. I felt like something was wrong. Another volunteer who has more experience came over and gave Captain some high fructose corn syrup, left some carrots, and a bucket of water mixed with applesauce. He said Captain was probably dehydrated. Apparently he was all better the next day. Donkeys can go downhill very quickly and not a lot of vets are experts on them. I'm glad it was nothing super serious and that Captain is back to his rambunctious self! ♥️

Vegan chicken wings by Like Meat 🍗 Even when I Vegan chicken wings by Like Meat 🍗 Even when I was a meat eater, I never quite understood the concept of chicken wings. They're really messy, you have to eat around bones, and there's barely any meat on them 🤔 I can't say these vegan chicken wings remind me a lot of the real thing, but they taste good, they're healthier, and cruelty free. Not to mention, they're great with rice, homemade beans, and ranch made with vegan sour cream 😋

Tried this vegan soup from Gardein for lunch today Tried this vegan soup from Gardein for lunch today. For being store bought (and vegan) I thought it was pretty good! Maybe needed a tad more salt and it wasn't super filling but I would buy it again! It's nice to have more vegan options! 🥣
