No Day But Today!

Wow was today fun and eventful or what ha! Well i love that DH has embraced this whole heartedly he even made lunch which was an awesome mix of a salad with kale spinach and romaine with a wonderful garlic vinagerette dressing yum and some mashed red potatoes with spinach and corn mmmm :)

 

and all vegan yay!!! also he ventured into the diy world today by making his own oat milk! I have to say it turned out awesome and i plan on making some vanilla oat milk ;) (oat milk is way better for you than soy)

I've been having a fun time explaining what being a vegan really is to people some of the comments we've gotten : "why the hell wouldn't you want to eat meat?" "so are you just some tofu loving weirdo now?" "Are you sure you're getting enough protein and other nutrients?" etc etc now i have simple answers to these questions (which I don't go around with the word vegan on my forehead broadcasting trying to "convert" people)  so question 1 why the hell wouldn't I want to eat meat? because I love animals all animals no matter what size and do not wish to harm them and yes hunting is murder :) onto question number 2 So are you just some tofu loving weirdo now? why yes I do love tofu it's delicious and I was weird long before becoming vegan :) and question no 3. are you sure you're getting enough protein and other nutrients? (rant time) First of all if you really cared about how many nutrients and protein I am eating you should have been more concerned when I was eating fast food everyday with not a vegetable in sight while I was slowly killing myself with toxic foods not now that i've adopted a super healthy lifestyle :) and yes I am getting all my nutrients :) haha sorry bout that last one but the more i open up to people about things the more jeers, sneers, criticism and questions I get so i'm going to host a dinner party and not tell anyone that everything is 100% vegan until the meal is finished and hopefully they enjoy it! and here is our DIY of the day Oat milk!!

Homemade Oat Milk

Needed Materials:

Oat Groats ( we use the bag yourself organic from our supermarket)

water

bowl or jars

strainer (we used cheescloth this time but can use anything really)

blender

Ok so you start out by soaking your oats in water we did it overnight you can leave it as long as you want though 

now when they've been soaking for at least 6 hours you can empty bowl into your blender and blend for several seconds or until blended 

and strain it yay your done other than finding a container to store it in we are using an old martinellis apple juice bottle but you can use whatever you want to :)

and voila you have oat milk!! It ias rather tasty and a great alternative to cows milk or soy milk :) and I promise next time i'll give the recipe for homemade shampoo :)
