Mother’s Day Special Vegan Way

by Vegalicious Elena on May 7, 2012

Moms are the most amazing beings in the world.  Loving, giving, sacrificial, stern at time, but always kind.  They make the world go around. I cannot imagine my life without my Angel ;) .  Although a premenopausal surprise for her–she had me at 47–she gave me all she got… and to the rest of my siblings.  I would not change one thing about how I came into this world… because Mom and Dad always made me feel special. They gave me everything I needed to succeed in life.

Mom gave me… her personality and her stubbornness ;).  At nearly 83 she is still young at heart and loves life.  I have never met as young of an older person as she is.  She still goes swimming to the Y 4-5 times a weeks, watches her grand and great-grandkinds, visits her friends, has people over.  Mom never stops!

by Vegalicious Elena on May 7, 2012

I love my readers! What can I say?! They (you) are  just awesome! I love talking with you here on the blog and on the Facebook.  I love sharing my stories and my life with you and even more I love learning about you, watching you transition to a healthier lifestyle, and in the process, touch the lives of others.  I am simply blessed! Very rarely do I end up with any negativity in comments here on the site or on Facebook–most of you are just wonderfully amazing, wanting to live better, healthier, happier and longer, and I am all they way with you, wanting to see you not to the finish line, but the beginning and continuation of your health journeys.

Last week’s Super Fan V giveaway is no exception to my wonderful positive rule.  The winner, Cindy Nunez (!), is a true V at heart.  No! Let me take that back–she is an Ultra V!

Cindy began her health journey out of a need–she wanted to help her father recover from a cardiovascular infarction.   [click to continue reading…]

Our Maternity (Belly) Shoot

by Vegalicious Elena on May 1, 2012

Some of you already heard it from me–last week Hubby and I had a maternity, i.e. belly shoot.  (yee-huh!) A wonderful local photographer, Nicole Dixon, captured our most memorable time for us. She just added a few images to Facebook, so I am going to repost them here, hoping they will look as good in this resolution, so you all can see just how much fun we had in the 50 F degree weather ;) wearing summer clothes (brrrr….).

Let’s start with my favorite of the ones that I have seen so far.

Sweet Cravings… Should I or Shouldn’t I?

April 24, 2012 MORE YUMMIES

As a total healthy living proponent I am anti-sugar consumption.  I believe that fruit and veggies, along with delicious sugar replacements such as dried fruit and occasional honey, is all that we need.  However, there are special events, once in a while, when I allow myself to have a slice of a vegan cake, or [...]
