Amazing Documentaries!

Hey people of the blogosphere!

I've been stuck at home because of the huge snowstorm in toronto -.- so netflix it is! and maybe a little but of junk food ( shh ) lol! so i watched these 2 movies that changed the way i think a lot!

Number 1: Hungry For Change

this movie is so interesting! it explains myths about food and how society is cheating us and i just couldn't take my eyes off it! it taught me so much!

Number 2:

i can't ever look at the meat isle the same ever. this made me twice the vegetarian! lol i used to eat chicken sometimes but i can't even think about it know! its disgusting what they do to these animals!!



i definitely recommend these documentaries! they educate you so much! I really really want to start eating vegan again slowly but i reallllyyyy love cheese and dairy! i feel groggy and bad afterwards though.. any tips? also i need to start exercising again soon! I'm going to florida in 8 days! woohoo!! its my brothers birthday tomorrow and mine on tuesday! I'm turning 14 and he is turning 18! obviously i can't really be vegan in orlando... i will really try to be vegetarian but disney food is the best! again if you have any tips that would be much appreciated!!

Byeeee! <3

Yummy home-ade BURRITOS

Hello people of the blogosphere!

it is me.. Jackie!
so today i made one of the most delicious things ever! BURRITOS.
now they are a little high on the calorie count ( went WAY over what i was supposed to today ) but its alright as long as its pretty healthy and not fried foods, and not over your BMR ( basic metabolic rate )

SO FIRST I MADE THE GUACAMOLE ( YUMMM ) 

Easy Peasy Guacamole!:
1 avocado
5-6 cherry tomatoes
little bit of garlic ( powder or crushed )
Squirt of lemon juice
About 1 tbsp of olive oil
SALT
( i dont really measure things lol )

1. in a food processor dump all the ingredients in and turn on to process!
2. mix it up a little
3. EAT BY THE SPOONFULL ( i am guilty of this crime )



Then i made the rice and bean paste! YUM ( basically everything is yum in this recipe )

I dont have pictures for either of these ( i know shame on me ) LOL

Bean Paste:
1 can red kidney beans ( or any beans you like )
Splash of vegetable broth
Mrs.Dash
Salt
Garlic Powder
Little bit of oil
Cayenne Pepper
( basically any good seasoning i could find i put in )

1. turn on your stove and in a pot put a little oil and the washed/drained beans
2. when it starts getting hot put the vegetable broth in ( dont worry if its too much it will cook out )
3. add the seasonings and start mashing with a potato masher/fork or whatever you use
4. stir on medium heat until preferred consistency
5. put in a bowl and enjoy!


Seasoned Mexican Rice:
Brown rice ( i really have no idea how much i used )
Vegetable broth
( same thing on the spices as the bean paste )
1 Bouillon cube ( vegetable ) ; crushed
LOTS of salt
Oil

1. Boil your rice ( Tip: before you put water in for the rice; put the rice in with some oil on low heat and stir it around until all the rice is a little coated. This will stop the rice from sticking and will have the perfect consistency ) also for the water ( if you dont know how much to use you always put about 2 fingers sideways amount of water above the rice. )
2. On a big frying pan put all your rice and seasonings and crushed bouillon cube with a little oil and just mix until combined
3. start adding vegetable broth a little at a time until the rice is a little bit more moist and tender ( this keeps the rice from being dry )
4. Serve and Enjoy!


So personally how i made the burrito is i took a tortilla, shredded cheese, i heated up some veggie ground beef, added the bean paste, guacamole, rice, and topped that sucker off with LOTS of sour cream! ( c'mon im russian.. we have to have our sour cream! )
                                                          and this is the end result!

looks DELISH doesnt it?! well it was :P and it fills you up to the point when you cant breathe! ( its like grandmas dinner in one little ( not very little ) piece of heaven! )

So with that im going to go to sleep! i will talk to you guys soon!
BYE!
i hope you like and try out this recipe!
