So, What CAN You Eat?

Being vegan, I get this question way more often than I care to answer.

So, What CAN You Eat?
Molly Bastow

Just recently going vegan, I get the same questions every time someone questions why I'm ordering something without animals products. "Why?" and "So, what can you eat?"

To the first question, do I ask you why you chose to not be vegan? No. It makes me feel better, and animal agriculture is killing our environment. I'm not going to shove my beliefs down your throat, so please stop trying to shove cheese down mine.

To the second question, if you followed my vegan Instagram..you would know. But you don't! So here are a few things (out of the many things) that I eat:


1. I eat peanut butter and jellies like it's my job.

Easiest breakfast ever, which is another reason its my favorite.

2. I went out to dinner and got soy ginger broccoli and tofu


...fried tofu.

3. I make huge dinner bowls.

Yellow rice, avocado, tomato and hummus all over a bed of spinach is one of my faves. wowow.

4. Moes. OK???? A bowl with lettuce, tomato, jalepenos, olives, salsa, cucumber, and guac.

Literally shoved the whole thing in my mouth.

5. Veggie gyoza.

Stupid good.

6. Paninis.

Black olives, roasted red peppers, artichokes, sundried tomato, and arugula.

7. Smoothies.

I literally never stop with the smoothies.

8. Pasta.


SO MUCH PASTA.

9. Rice, corn, red cabbage, snap peas.

Trust me, this will keep you full for hours! Also I added some hot sauce because who doesn't love something spicy? It took literally 30 minutes to make — so easy!

10. Pizza.

Yeah, pizza. Vegan cheese, artichokes, olives, jalepenos, roasted tomatoes and sauce.

11. Ice cream.

Being a baby vegan i was craving ice cream and found this in the supermarket today. SO good. It was just as silky as dairy ice cream, and had a hint of coconut. 10/10 would recommend.


These are only some of the things I eat during the week. This doesn't include all of the veggies and fruits I can eat, and all of the amazing combinations to make with them! I can eat so many things, I just have to get creative. And I feel so good about eating it! Follow my vegan Instagram for all of the things I eat! @Veganeaaaats

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
