I'm a woman who loves my family, food and my natural hair. I'm on a journey to a healthier lifestyle, waist length hair and managing adult ADHD. Dx'd at age 41

I love that my healthy eating habits have kinda rubbed off on my little one. I don't know many kids who enjoy kimchi in their ramen and crispy chickpeas for a snack.

Since I've fully committed to eating plant-based, my blood pressure has never been this low. Not even with the medication. With meds my top number was 125+. Now I'm in the 115 range. I can just imagine what it would be if I completely cut out processed plant-based food

@sweetpotatosoul your recipe for tofu crumbles/ grounds is my new favorite thing to make. I've used them in spaghetti, empanadas and quesadillas. Even my bf likes the flavor and texture and he doesn't like tofu. This is definitely a winner. I'm looking for a reason to make more😋

It's nice when someone picks up on the little things about you. My daughter's aunt gave me gifts that may seem minor to others but definitely put a smile on my face this Christmas.

After all of the meal prepping I did, I'm curious to see how long the food will last before I'll need to cook again. In the meantime, I'll be working on the next meals to prep.

Tomorrow, I plan to make chickpea scramble, pico de gallo and maybe do some baking.

I've been a busy bee with meal prepping. I made butternut squash soup, chili, rice, hearts of palm cakes, salad, marinara (for eggplant parm for later this week), and vanilla chia seed pudding.

I love it when they say "there's no food" or "there's nothing to eat" and then I proceed to make a whole meal.

Them: "Where did this come from? "
Me: "The same place you claimed there was no food." 😒😝

My fire for cooking seems to get reignited when I'm cooking vegan food. Tonight was a simple meal, but it felt great to have my food compared to Chipotle. This dish contained brown rice, sweet potatoes, avocado, tomatoes, black beans, and corn with a chipotle lime vinaigrette

I think I'm losing my love of cooking. My family is so picky. Nobody likes or wants the same things anymore. So many different diets. It takes too much time and effort to cook and even more just to plan a meal that everyone will be happy with. 😒😕😩 It's exhausting.

Pizza, beer, watching The Irrational with NO KIDS!!! Won't he do it!?

[Vorina @SayItHowItLooks]

A knock at 7:30 AM. I say, "Who is it?" No anwer. 2nd time (a little louder), "Who is it??" No answer. 3rd time (even LOUDER), "Who is it???" Turns out it was my neighbor. My man says "Why didn't you just look out of the peep hole." I'M TOO SHORT!!! Why doesn't he know this?

[Vorina @SayItHowItLooks]

Waiting on a part for my car and my man is having car troubles so I've been taking the bus to work for the last two days. Most people I know say they'll never take public transportation, but personally, I don't mind it. I always get a feeling of peace and freedom when I do.

[Vorina @SayItHowItLooks]

I love that my youngest daughter is at an age where she can appreciate gift cards. Shopping is getting much easier.

[Vorina @SayItHowItLooks]

@KwabenaSharif It's not wild. The Kia Optima might have been the blessing they needed. Might seem basic to everyone else, but it's special to them. Let them have their personalized plates.

[Vorina @SayItHowItLooks]

@Gd0tLANE Try to have a good day anyway 🙏🏾

[Vorina @SayItHowItLooks]

@iAmLegendGary Absolutely!

[Vorina @SayItHowItLooks]

My daughter has her father and I hooked on a @Disney show called Secrets of Sulfur Springs. We are totally obsessed!
