Discover The Secret To Easy |

Hello,
I'm Patty Knutson, but my friends call me Sassy. ;o)
If you're like many people these days, you're moving towards a more plant-based diet. Whether it's your goal to "Go Vegan" 1 day, 3 days or 7 days per week, it can be difficult to figure out what to eat on a daily basis.
And even if you DO have an idea of what to eat, it's easy to fall into a rut of preparing the same foods in the same way over and over again.
Do you HAVE to go in search of recipes for each and every meal? What if you can't find any recipes you like, or you find recipes to be confusing (as my hubby Jeff does), what should you do then?
And, let's be realistic, when mealtime rolls around you're usually in a rush (or superbly hungry!) and even the best-laid plans can fall to the wayside.
You need a vegan diet plan that works on a daily basis so you can get in and out of the kitchen and get on with life!
Wouldn't it be cool to find an easy-to-understand vegan food guide...
...that would help you create yummy dishes that are simple to prepare? That would encourage you to find your creativity in the kitchen so cooking can be FUN? And best of all that would show you easy ways of making meals that are nutritious as well as delicious?
This website was created with YOU in mind...
...to provide the tools you need to have fun in the kitchen in a way that's easy to understand and apply to your daily life. Tools that make it easier than ever to eat a healthy diet.
Because the goal is to get you to a place where you WANT to cook so you can stick to your guns and remain a success story -- whether a part-time or full-time vegetarian. And really, that's what you had in mind when you chose this path in the first place, right?

Pssssst....I love this online store. Created and run by vegans, you can shop for vegan foods and sweets (including vegan marshmallows!), home products, personal care, candles, shoes, and lots more. No animal products, no animal testing, and great customer service too.
Highly recommended. :O)
What this website has in store for you:
1. Learn to build your very own recipes from scratch. The Vegan Cooking Guide provides a long list of vegan foods, with detailed instructions on how to clean and prep each food, suggested cooking techniques, and "Vegan Flavor Matches" so you can build your own unique recipes on-the-fly, quickly and easily.
For instance, ever get bored with sweet potatoes? Ho-Hum. (Yawwwwn.)
A visit to my Cooking Guide can help! There's a world of delicious ideas just waiting for you to glam onto. In this example, you'd simply find "sweet potatoes" on the food list, and then follow the link to mix and match suggested flavors and cooking techniques.
Kind of like Garanamals!! ;o)
Click on this example...
Cool, huh? And SO helpful too.
I promise you'll learn to whip up fantastic new and unique dishes while you add to your cooking skills every single time you step into the kitchen. Cooking skills that will stay with you for the rest of your life.

"OMG! Sassy, your site ROCKS! It's well organized & linked up w/ TONS of helpful hints & flavorful tidbits. The 
2. Improve an ol' standby recipe! Surely you've found a recipe or two that you like, but it just needs SOMETHING -- you can't put your finger on it. Visit the Cooking Guide, click on the main ingredient of your recipe, then use the "Flavor Matches" to find the foods, herbs and spices that match perfectly with your chosen ingredient -- and add one (or more) of them to your recipe. You'll create a new recipe all your own!
3. Discover a new recipe you can fall in love with.
This recipe collection may not be large, but I think you'll enjoy preparing each and every one of them. All recipes on this site have been tested and tweaked over the course of a decade until they've received a thumbs-up from my non-vegetarian friends -- and personal chef clients.
Of course, the Veg*ns like them too. ;O)
Follow this link to find Vegan Recipes that you're bound to fall in love with.
4. Cooking yummy food is one half the equation. It's also important to create meals that will support your good health.
If you've found yourself removing animal foods from your diet, but you haven't replaced them with plant-based foods that supply equal (or better) amounts of nutrients, then you'll be interested in reading Vegan Nutrition Made Easy.*
You'll also learn all about the ins and outs of protein, Vitamin B12, vegetables, whole grains, and more!
And while we're on the topic, take a Vegan Nutrition Test to help pinpoint your YOU-nique nutritional needs. (pssst....Vegan Coach VIPs Only - Click here for your "Backstage Pass".)

Do you need someone you can call on to take you by the hand and walk you through the maze of vegan diet and nutrition information that you are constantly bombarded with?
