The perils of dairy!

I think this is an important video for people to see, please take the time to watch it, & consider that dairy is not only unnecessary in our diet, but actually completely unhealthy, & even potentially damaging for our bodies.

Also consider that the focus of this video is human health, there is still animal cruelty, & environmental damage issues to consider with regards to the dairy industry.

Vegan Bowl Tacos; where taste & dignity collide

Bowl tacos are, undisputedly one of my all time favourite meals, ever.
Here's how you too can enjoy the feeling of sheer joy, and quiet dignity that can only be achieved with a generous serve of bowl tacos...

Ingredients:
- 1 packet Organic Corn chips
Bean filling:
- 1 medium Purple onion - Finely diced
- 2 cloves Garlic - Minced
- 1 can Organic Red kidney beans - Rinsed & drained
- 1 can Organic Butter beans - Rinsed & drained
- 1 can Organic Cannelloni beans - Rinsed & drained
- 1/2 a jar Tomato pasta sauce (Alternatively, 1 can of Organic crushed tomatoes)
- 1 Tbs Turmeric powder
- 1 Tbs Cumin powder
- 1 Tbs Sweet paprika powder
- 1 Tbs Tabasco &/or fresh chilli (or 1-2 tsp Chilli powder) - Optional
- Pinch of Black pepper
- Water - As needed
Toppings:
- 1 Organic Avocado - Sliced
- 1 large Organic Tomato - Sliced
- Vegan cheese of choice - Grated
- A handful of Olives - Coarsely chopped
- 1 packet Organic Sprouts
- A bunch of fresh green Salad mix

Then...
1. In a large skillet, saute the onion in a little water, once it has softened slightly, add the minced garlic, & pepper, & saute for another minute.
2. Add all the beans, along with the tomato sauce, turmeric, cumin, paprika, & tabasco, & mix well.
3. Cook the beans over a low-medium heat, adding water as required. Thoroughly mix, & mash the beans with your wooden spoon as they cook to achieve the filling consistency.
4. Once most of the beans are broken up or mashed, & the desired consistency is reached, turn off the heat, & place a lid on your skillet to retain the heat.
5. Prepare all the toppings, & set them aside.
6. Toss some corn chips into a bowl, top with some bean mix, & add toppings of choice.
7. Munch it!

Go ahead & add other toppings if you want, grated carrot, corn kernels  diced capsicum, fresh coriander, etc would make this meal even more awesome. Mix & match, & eat like a boss!

*As always my recipes are made Gluten-Free & Vegan, but please always check your ingredients to be sure, as they can vary between brands, etc.

Misery, & gut ache

I drew all 3 of these while I was feeling quite unwell, I suffer from a couple of health problems, & I'm doing my best to get on top of them, but sometimes they win, & I just feel like crap. I'm on a 5 day green smoothie fast at the moment (day 3 today) & hopefully by the end I'll be good as gold.

Chook respect day ∩(︶▽︶)∩

I'm a little slow off the mark with this post I know...
...
Chooks are sweet, intelligent, & greatly misunderstood. These interesting animals deserve love & respect, the same as our canine & feline family members, but sadly they are one of the most mistreated & forgotten domesticated animals on the planet. Please do your best to avoid animal products to be sure that you are not supporting cruel practices that exploit animals like these lovely hens.
