COOK WITH US ~ Healthy Vegan Recipes!!

John and I recently finished a 14 day stint as vegans and it was great. We lost weight, had more clarity, felt more energized, and slept better. But we did face a few challenges. It was difficult getting use to a diet that doesn't have meat. So we had issues staying full. We didn't have any breads or pasta to hold us over either. We only consumed fruits, vegetables and beans. I know this is more extreme for some vegans but we were participating in a more stringent version of the DANIEL DIET with our church.

One of the first things we quickly realized was we were going to have to get really creative with our meals or we we're going to be miserable. We both looked up recipes that we wanted to make and tried them out every night. I have to say, they were really good. The strange thing is, I didn't really miss having meat for dinner.

My sisters and their families went vegan with us as well, so we agreed to rotate having dinner at each others house for a few days. John and I hosted dinner at our house last Wednesday and we wanted to do our best. We decided to make the best vegan recipes we had found and have a complete meal with an entrée, side, soup, salad and dessert.

The dinner consisted of Shepherds Pie, SWEET POTATO HASHCAULIFLOWER SOUP, Blueberry Spinach salad and PLANTAINS.  I decided to make a quick YouTube video of us cooking dinner. Hopefully it will provide some meal inspiration! Happy Cooking & God bless!!



Shepherd's Pie
8 medium size Potatoes
1/2 cup of chopped Onions
1 cup of chopped Mushrooms
1 tablespoon of Minced Garlic
2 cups of Carrots
2 cups of fresh Spinach
1 cup of Sweet Peas
Garlic Salt to taste

Directions:
Boil potatoes and carrots separately until soft, set aside. Sauté chopped onions, minced garlic and mushrooms at medium heat for three minutes. Add softened carrots, sweet peas, fresh spinach and sauté for another three minutes. Place into a casserole dish. In a separate dish, mash potatoes until smooth and season to taste. Spread mashed potatoes on top of veggies and then bake for 15 minutes.

Blueberry Spinach Salad
1 bag of fresh spinach
4 ounces of fresh blueberries
1 orange
1 teaspoon of Garlic salt
1 tablespoon of Olive oil
1 tablespoon of Agave Nectar

Directions:
Cut the orange in half and squeeze all juice into a bowl, add garlic salt, olive oil, and agave nectar. Mix dressing well. In a separate bowl, add spinach and blueberries. Finally, add dressing and make sure it's evenly distributed on salad.

Holiday | DIY Snowman and Reindeer Cupcakes - Sharron's Take


I LOVE snowman, reindeer and everything Winter!! LOL. I'm so happy I got a chance to make this tutorial. It's super easy and can be made with products you find at any store. The gumdrop earmuffs can easily be substituted for another candy, as well as the top hat on the marshmallow snowman. I've seen other people use chocolate bells. Here is the link to my YouTube video for more detailed instructions. Have fun and happy baking!!

DIY Sesame Street Cupcakes: Elmo, Cookie Monster, & Oscar the Grouch - S...



I've been working really hard lately on my cupcake / dessert video tutorials for my YouTube channel Sharron's Take. I recently posted one for DIY Thanksgiving Cupcakes and DIY Wedding Cupcakes. When I first started decorating cakes, I came across a ton of general tutorials like how to frost a cake, how to stack a cake and different ways to pipe on cupcakes. I didn't come across a lot of video tutorials that showed how to make specific designs. So I decided to focus on making some of my own for all the future cake decorators and dessert makers out there.




Materials needed:

Elmo Cupcake
     Mini Marshmallows ~ Eyes
     Black Frosting ~ Eyes and Mouth
     Red Frosting ~ Fur
     Orange ~ Nose

My Two Year YouTube Anniversary!! | GIVEAWAY - Sharron's Take

Yay!! It's my two year anniversary on Youtube. Wow, I can't believe it's already been two years. I started this channel at the urging of my big sister Shaun. After some talking to, I decided that this was a good idea. I didn't quite know what I wanted to do with my channel and I'm still learning. I thought vlogging was weird and frankly who cared about the daily ins and outs of my life?? LOL

"Who puts their personal business on Youtube anyway??"




Now that it's been two years, I finally see some of the purpose God has for my channel and for me. I've grown so much and I'm glad I decided to step out on faith and do this. I've learned so much about myself and from others. I'm glad I have an avenue to let loose creatively. I love to do so many things and this has been the perfect forum to express myself. I'm so blessed that I can finally show my love for Christ, journalism, baking, fashion, and any other randomness that comes across my mind.




Thank you everyone that has read my blogs, watched my vlogs, and continued to support me.

You will never know how much I appreciate you. I can only pray that my life continue to bless others as much as God has blessed me. Love you all and as always be blessed!! ]
