#MeatlessMonday: B.L.T. Snack Bites
I threw together this idea after picking up some tomatoes from the farmer’s market this weekend. These little babies hit the spot! They’d be great finger foods at small gatherings and a mid-day snack. Plus, you don’t have to feel totally guilty for indulging in a normally greasy comfort food! With these snack bites, I’ve used Phoney Baloney’s Coconut Bacon, but you could use any kind of Bac’n Bits! (If you want to keep it vegan, plenty of easy to find store brand bacon bits are meat-free, believe it or not.)
I’m not listing a serving size. There is no cooking involved, so you can make as many or as few as you’d like! Continue reading →

#MeatlessMonday: No Cluck Chick’n & Taters
This recipe is something I came up with years ago when I still ate chicken. It was one of my mother’s favorite dishes that I created. My sister gave it the name “Sandy’s Seasoned Cluck & Taters”.
No Cluck and TatersI had all the ingredients on hand this past weekend, minus the chicken, of course. But I did have Beyond Meat’s grilled “chicken” strips. So voila, an old favorite has been made vegan! Continue reading →

It’s OK to be Mad.
Sometimes we feel ashamed to admit when we're depressed or struggling. For me, personally, I feel pressure to always be happy. This pressure not only comes from those who have known me to be the girl who is always smiling, always laughing, even when she's crying, and the one who always looks at the positives more than the negatives; but this pressure is even more so self-inflicted. I want to be that person 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. That Sandy has a ton of friends. She interviews cool celebrities. She travels the country by herself like a boss. That Sandy wrote 8 novels that she hopes will inspire others to be happy. The truth is... Happiness is not easy. Continue reading →

Become a Character in the DREAM CATCHERS Series!
I am interviewing best friends for Aylin Ashton. I have officially started writing the 6th part in the DREAM CATCHERS series, which centers around Aylin (Jordan and Haley's daughter). Aylin is kind of friendless as of now :( You can imagine traveling the world with her dad's band, Tortured and being a celebrity's kid has made it difficult for her to make friends--real friends that are interested in her, and not the company she keeps. Do you think you have what it takes to be a true friend to Aylin? Now's your chance to be a character in my book series! Read below to find out details... Continue reading →

Travel Tuesday: Childhood Fantasies
Travel Tuesday is a hashtag I started on social media to highlight some photos from my travels. While I've blogged here about many of my travels, some photos or specific events were briefly described. So, I figured it might be fun to explore deeper into certain moments/memories. Today, I'm highlighting a photo from my first (and hopefully not my last) trip to L.A. Continue reading →

Food Finds: Comfort Food Quick Fixes
I try hard to eat healthy and not a bunch of processed foods. Let's face it, sometimes you just need a quick, indulgent fix though! Being vegan, that doesn't always come so easy. Recently, I was pleasantly surprised and delighted what quick comforts I found at my local grocery store! Continue reading →
