It’s That Time of Year Again… FOOTBALL TIME!!

Fall is probably my favorite season of the year. I love the crisp temperatures… the yummy smells… and of course the excitement of football! I was never a huge fan of football before I met Kyle, so I have to credit my interest in the game to him and his football-loving family! But I’ve come to love the game and look forward to watching our teams play each week—especially our PITTSBURGH STEELERS!!

Tonight’s game between the Green Bay Packers and the New Orleans Saints marks the official start of the NFL season, and the official start of my very first Fantasy Football season! Kyle convinced me to join a fantasy football league this year, and we had our draft this past Sunday night... talk about stressful! Everything moved so fast, and I felt like I barely had time to wrap my head around my next decision. It was definitely intense, and I still feel like I have no clue what I’m doing! Let’s just say that this is going to be very interesting! I think I have a pretty good team (at least that’s what Kyle told me…But he could just be trying to make me feel better about it.. Haha!) and I’m excited to see how the first week goes—I’m playing my brother-in-law.. Hopefully he won’t be too hard on me if I lose! :)

Good luck to all of your favorite teams out there and HAPPY FOOTBALL SEASON!!

Until next time...

Yummy BLT Sandwich…My New Addiction!

I have a confession to make…. I’m in love with food! I love buying it. I love cooking it. I love reading about it. And since I began my vegan lifestyle, my interest in new foods has continued to grow. I’m always looking for new recipes to try, and I'm always trying to come up with creative ways to adjust any recipe to make it vegan-friendly. One great source of recipes that I’ve discovered is my “fitness magazine” that I receive monthly in the mail. Every issue offers ideas for lighter healthier meals and recipes. Check out more recipes at www.fitnessmagazine.com .

My New Favorite Sweet Treat...

http://sweetceces.com/index.html Following a vegan diet means no consumption of animal products… No animal products means no dairy… No dairy means no ice cream… And no ice cream means that my selection of sweet and tasty summer treats is extremely limited. But not to fear, Sweet CeCe’s has come to my rescue! Sweet CeCe’s Frozen Yogurt and Treats is a delicious frozen yogurt shop on Bardstown Road in the Highlands (in Louisville, of course). My family and I first tried it a few weeks ago and I immediately fell in love. They have a crazy long list of flavors, and usually offer around 10 different flavors daily, so the available flavors are different each day. They also have a ton of toppings to choose from…Fruit Loops...Snickers… Oreos… Strawberries… Chocolate Chips... Blueberries… Nuts… Pineapple… and of course cherries to top it all off! But the list goes on and on and on… The best part about Sweet CeCe’s for me though, is that they always o...
