My new vegan rice recipe, promise you will love it!

Ok Tabitha and I are embarking on another eating experience.  I know, I know, we just can’t help ourselves.  She is always trying to lose more weight and I am always looking for more energy.

Hence our newest program, “22 days Nutrition” which I heard about from Ryan Seacrest this morning on the radio.  He really cracks me up.  Apparently this program got Beyonce’s thighs looking beyond amazing, which really excited Tabitha.  I just enjoy learning new ways of eating and different recipes and each program we try I take something away from it and incorporate it into my life forever.

I really love eating vegetarian but haven’t really done the whole vegan thing so I am pretty excited to see how I feel during this experiment.  I have a feeling it will be a easier for me than Tabitha because she isn’t a fan of veggies but the recipes offered on this meal plan are very creative and the first one I made, I loved.  Plus I get a few healthy carbs on this plan, which I love.  The recipes are free and you can buy the bars they make at Whole Food’s to supplement.  We already use a vegan protein powder in our smoothies so I didn’t buy their brand and I just bought a few vegan bars at mother’s market instead of driving over to Whole Paycheck.

Here is the rice I made tonight and I am in love!  I changed the original recipe significantly because I didn’t have everything I needed so I made adjustments.  Here is my version.

 

__________Ok imagine you are looking at picture of my rice.  I took a few pictures and then hooked my phone up to the computer and for some reason it restored my phone back to December and I can’t find any recent pictures.  I am soooo too tired to figure this out right now, so use you imagine.  Thanks, I knew there was a reason I adore each and every one of you.______________

Tabitha just came home and tried it and she loved it too!  It is really refreshing and light for a rice dish.  I served it room temperature but you can also serve it cold.
