Rice and Beans Plate

"My name is Sarah and I am a gluten-free vegan. I have two blogs: VaVaVegan, which is my daily blog, and This Is What I Eat, which is a photo journal of delicious vegan food that I eat and make for others. Recently I've been really focusing on living a whole foods-based lifestyle, enjoying clean, nutritious foods that fuel me for whatever activities I'm doing (which include running, training with my trainer and even just working long days on my feet). I want to show people that vegan food is not only delicious, but can provide a well-balanced and nutrition-packed diet.

"The photo I wanted to submit is a Rice and Beans plate I've been enjoying regularly lately. It is 1/2 cup cooked rice, 1/2 cup cooked kidney beans, a handful of spinach, a handful of steamed broccoli topped with a half of an avocado. It looks beautiful and tastes as good as it looks!"

A Simple, Healthy Dinner Plate

From Ilana: "I am OBSESSED with making colorful and healthy meals - I get so excited to see all the colors of food down on a plate! I was really excited about yesterday's dinner so I kind of wanted to share it with the world - no joke I actually text messaged my friends and my boyfriend to tell them how excited I was about this food. It's potentially the simplest dinner in the world but I could not be happier!

"I love eating a lot of green and I really love to highlight the fresh and uncomplicated taste of vegetables! On my plate, purple grapes, a huge carrot, grilled asparagus on top of fresh baby spinach, steamed broccoli rabe, mashed roasted yam with cinnamon, and a wedge of lemon to squeeze all over everything. It just LOOKS healthy and delicious, and it totally is!!

"Also I blog about my meals and correcting my eating problems at my blog, Love, La."
