Well the camera is down for the moment so no pics but wanted to give a little update on what’s going on here at Practically Vegan! For those of you who don’t know me I sort of have an obsession with containers…..Even saying the word container gets me happy! I’ve been away for a bit because I am on this pursuance of the perfect kitchen. Now I know that perfect is not possible so maybe I should say “up to my standards where I can finally walk away from it and say, humm its not bad”
Each week I say to myself, ” Its almost done, It’s almost done” but now I truly feel like its coming to an end. I want to start off this blog of recipes, and techniques with a good clean surface to work from.
So needless to say this weekend I went to ikea to get the last jars for the pantry. (I bought 17 to even out the number to 100. I don’t think I’ll be needing anymore for a while (even though I only have 5 that are empty right now!!!!)
I also finally came up with an arangement for the appliances and cookware that is easy to access and works!
Also I have about 20 of the smaller burkens that I am now moving into my art studio to make the art supplies visible. For those of you who don’t know I am much more of an artist then a cook but I love the textures and colors of food (plus it tastes so yummie) so if you ever want to check out the art side here is the other site.
So all in all lots of progress that I hope to have photos of soon. I truly believe that putting in the work to make things easier all around is so worth it. I just have to learn when to stop organizing and start Making!!!

I am just getting into wheat grass and so far I have to say its pretty nice.
I’ve lost all desire for iced coffed. (I was drinking it every day just to wake up)
I feel way more energized
My skin has this nice glow to it
Its prompting me to eat better
Currently I am drinking the powder form of whole wheat grass leaf. I think it has more fiber but less chlorophyll. I also just get a wheat grass juicer and started my first batch of seeds that are sprouting nicely! Hopefully in a week I will have my first batch ready to juice.
The power form was about 17 dollars for a bottle but you get 32 servings out of it so thats not so bad. At the juice bars its 2-3 dollars for a 1oz shot. Im pretty excited to juice my first batch.
Heres a snipit on the benefits of wheat grass.

If you ever are wondering why I am a vegan watch
Earthlings.
I just found out it is now available online which is wonderful!
Its hard to say much more.
Every once in a while I re remind myself why I am vegan.
Not that I have any desire to go back to eating meat or dairy,
but sometimes its good to see it again with your own eyes.
Please watch this film if you care for animals at all.
I will be showing the film to a few girls at work who are vegetarians
thinking of going vegan or omni’s thinking of going vegetarian.
I hope they let the reality of it sink it.
It hurts, to watch, its horrific.
But to ignore what we see is so much more of a crime.

Since the new blog is here I want to be realistic with things.
So my commitment is going to be (and if I write it here its much more likely to happen) 3 entries a week.
Sunday
Tuesday
Thursday
I think that 3 is a good goal to shoot for and if there’s more then great!
But with my schedule right now I think that is about right.
So this post does not count but tomorrow look forward to day 1 of the new site.
I’ve been working hard on content and on setting up a good agenda to keep things fresh.
I hope some of the readers from Bentos for Vegans come on over and that new readers join.
Feel free to leave some comments on any particular subjects you would like me to blog on and I most likely will!
Take care.
