Riced Cauliflower Diddy & Plant Strong Book

The days seem to be getting away from me!  I have been meaning to blog about a dish I made from the Thug Kitchen 101 Cookbook but I lost the photo!  That is mostly due to the fact that I FINALLY got a new phone!  I've been watching mine die and slow and painful death for at least a year now.  I'm stubborn.  That's my problem.  But anyways...

I did take this pic on my new phone last night!  I'm already like the camera on my new phone a whole lot better!  This dish was FAB by the way!  I used frozen diced cauliflower and then threw in those frozen cubes of garlic, onion, and cilantro.  I also used a can of diced tomatoes!  I will be doing this dish more and soon!  I LOVED it!  Oh!  I also added smoked paprika, cumin, and nutritional yeast!  YUM!

For Valentine's Day hubby asked me what I wanted.  I told him flowers die in 3 days and I would enjoy vegan cookbooks WAY MORE!  So he did just that...he gave me the nod to go on a vegan cookbook shopping spree of sorts.

I just received this one in the mail today.  I will surely update you in the next couple of weeks the other books I got, too!

I ordered them off of Jet because I have found them to be lower in price most of the time.

I've been a fan of Rip Esselstyn and other members of his family for a while now and thought I would finally add this book to my collection!  What are some of the books on your wishlist lately?

The Food Revolution Summit

I thought about including this in another post but there is just SO MUCH about it that I thought it was better to do a separate post about it instead!  What am I talking about?  The Food Revolution Summit!  I will be participating online this year!  You can still sign up - just visit that link above!  Everything starts this Saturday and goes thru May 5th.  There is even a welcome message from Joaquin Phoenix.  The hosts are John Robbins and Ocean Robbins!

Check out all of the people who are contributing content to this summit!  Dean Ornish, MD - I have read a few of his books and followed him for a while now!  Kris Carr - I get her eNewsletter and LOVE her website as well as having seen her on a few Documentaries and YouTube Channels lately!    I have to admit I am not as familiar with Mark Hyman, MD, Mayor Cory Booker, or Robyn O'Brien but I will be researching them over the next few days!  Joel Fuhrman, MD, I have read a lot about but I am not familiar with Dolores Huerta but am interested in her topic of "Loving The Hands That Feed Us!"  Rip Esselstyn I have been a fan of for the last couple of years!  I have seen articles and videos as well as books and documentaries of his efforts and expertise!  Jeffrey Smith will be talking about Protecting Your Family From GMO's - a bigger and BIGGER topic these days!  3 others I will have educate myself about PRIOR are Brenda Davis, RD, Vandana Shiva PhD, and Mark Bittman.  I was very happy to see Russell Simmons on the list, too!  He's done amazing things getting the word out about vegetarian/veganism and yoga and health!  As well as Kathy Freeston - I follow her site and her Instagram!  Ken Cook will be talking about "Sustainable Food For Us All"

One of my favorites on this list is Neal Barnard, MD...probably the person I have known about the longest (aside from Russell Simmons, that is).  Zoe Weil, Michael Klaper, MD, Michael Bernard Beckwith, Thom Hartmann, and Andrew Kimbrell I will need to brush up on before listening in - as well!  Towards the end of the line-up I see Seane Corn - One of the many Yoga People I have tried to follow for a while.  Then there is Mike Adams speaking on Keys to Health Freedom and Will Potter with "Ag-Gag Bills VS Your Right To Know" 2 very timely topics that we are hearing more and more about these days!  And finally, the hosts, John and Ocean with "Igniting a Food Revolution".  I can totally understand why this event is nearly a week!  SO MUCH info!  Of course I cannot hear all of them but I do hope to hear several!

Have you signed up yet?  Who do you know of on this list?  Anyone you have learned anything from yet?  If so what?  Do tell!
