ALL MEDITATED OUT --


Here we are having just come from a full day workshop in meditation!
We went to Sahaja Yoga Meditation - a free meditation place. I was pretty impressed, not only were their meditation techniques really successful and easy, the people were lovely and it was free!!
For an extra $10 you also got a delicious vegan indian meal.
This place was great and Ill def keep using their techniques.
I noticed such a difference even the day after!! Blissfull.
There are heaps of classes around sydney, free of charge.
I think this is incredible, Its so rare to find people who are doing good without gaining from it.
And something like meditation should be free!!

ITZ A PIZZZZZZZZZAAAA



With left overs!! - I basically threw on left overs on these pizza'z -- left over quinoa mix and mushrooms and just yum things-- AND holy shit! No need to say much else except I used a vegan omega 3 'cheddar cheese' -- was ok but maybe i didnt even need it!! -- pictures are of before they were cooked.

chucked on some tempei strips too --- AGHHHHHHHH YUM!!!!

crystalariums ::::



My protections, charms and succulents! - on the windowsill!!

MOTHER CHU'S VEGETARIAN!




NOM NOM NOM ... definitely going back there!!
We just stopped in cause i had heard about it - wasn't expecting anything but ..YUM!
We had one entree and 2 mains between both of us and we didn't want it to end even though so full!!
For entree we had dim sims wanton- There is no picture here because we ate them the moment they hit the table- so so delicious!!
Then we had braised bean curd with veges- this was so so yum!
my favourite!!
Wheres as Ryan was mind blown over the salt and pepper fried tofu strips!
Kinda pricey but whatever- for a totally vegan-vegetarian restaurant I was impressed!

Her darling partner in the business and herself are so talented,
like SO talented Im proud to be apart of anything they do!!
Apart from being in love with maryanne, i love her clothes too.
Talk about feeling like a sex bomb!

So today was going to be a lonnnggg day, I had the photoshoot starting early, then cocktail training for work!!
So to survive, I packed a massive lunch box just topped with veges and thai chilli tofu sausages!! adding a few vegan crackers to pile the veges on! - seriously, delicious!! This actually filled me up all the way until home time 16 hours later. Good effort!

OH MY Mushroom AND Tofu Burger!!







OH my! - My first post and food recipe- and for good reason- THIS IS THE BEST BURGER I HAVE EVER EATEN!

And by fluke too!! It a home made copy of a burger i tried at the cult cafe restaurant in the katoomba - formally called Common Ground.
It's called the cult cafe for a reason - It's run by one.
But who cares what they preach - who or WHAT they believe in cause holy shit! they can cook.
Like seriously mind blowing- oh my god - I think Im going to die - This is out of control - kind of stuff.
They arn't a vegan cafe or even vegetarian but they have the option's and quite a few of them too.
But I have never gotten past this burger and by the time I've finished it - Im stuffed.
It's seriously so easy too.

For my version-

One slice of NutriSoy Tofu burger slices.
Tomato
Alfalfa sprouts
Mushrooms - I've tried 2 varieties and - yum yum yum yum!
KingLand Soy Mayonnaise!
Bread Bun.


You can add anything - first one i added beetroot ( my favourite ) and it blew my mind.
This burger has been force fed by my lover and I to his meat loving parents who avoid trying new things at any cost - and his dad was asking for seconds!! (Mother a little nervous but she ate every bite)
I cant wait till I go home to byron, I'll be cooking for my parents every night - force feeding them so they will try and LOVE (Im sure of it) all the dishes I've been finding and loving for my self!

For the record and because this is my first post, I'll start by letting you know, Im a new vegan!!
Vegetarian, I have been for years. But something magical happened - I found out the truth!!
And now I am 1000% vegan and loving it!! - It has been the most life changing, eye opening, experience I have ever had.
Not to mention the benefits that are already flying at me!

Im going to post throughout my blog some videos and information I find along the way,
Knowledge has been the most valuable reason for me to change my lifestyle.
And if It helps other people, then YAY!!

FOR THE LOVE OF MUSHROOMS!
