    ‘What I Ate’ Vegan Vlog

    Oct 28, 2015 • Videos, What I Ate

    Good morning! Some exciting news…

    I made a YouTube channel!!!!!

    I’ve been wanting to make videos for years and I finally recorded one yesterday, learned how to edit… which was interesting (but fun!) and uploaded it super late last night. Making videos has always been a fear of mine… but I finally worked up the courage and just did it. Doing things that scare us is always a good thing, right?!! Such a relief to get that over with!

    There’s lots to learn with editing and incorporating music and getting everything right so I was up literally ALL night because I just wanted to get my first video out there. Hopefully my skills will get better with time 🙂

    Watching ‘What I Ate’ type videos have always been my favorite kind of videos, especially when first going vegan. You get lots of ideas and inspiration. I watch lots of vloggers too so I thought you guys would enjoy a little mix of the two. You get to see all my yummy meals and get a little glimpse into my daily life hence the ‘vlog’ part. 


    Let me know what you think, subscribe to my new channel (The Glowing Fridge) and let me know what you want to see!!

    Can’t wait to make more videos 🙂 Love you guys!

      Fantastic job Shannon! I just found your website via pinterest yesterday and I’m already so inspired…cannot wait to make the vegan Mac and Cheese!! I’ve been a “vegetarian” (I have that in quotes because I do eat fish, eggs, and dairy) for over 10 years. However adding in more vegan meals to my diet is something I’d like to do. I battle all of the tasty sugar laden treats (namely of the chocolate variety!!) available on a daily basis and am working on cutting back. It’s all a process right? Your tips and recipies look awesome and I’m excited to try some of them. I’m not much of a cook so it will be an adventure for sure! Can’t wait to see more of your vlogs! 🙂 hugs to you and Taz!

    HANDLE NAME CHANGE!! I’ve been wanting to do th HANDLE NAME CHANGE!!

I’ve been wanting to do this for a while as a fresh start with all the changes to my “brand” in the last year. It feels right to just use my name 😀 (fun fact: I haven’t taken my hubbys last name yet because of business paperwork that I’m too lazy to figure out 😅 name changes are complicated) 

@theglowingfridge started out of my love for the plant based lifestyle but so much has changed in the last 9 years and I’ve been itching to update. Nothing else will change and my blog will still remain as is, if you still use my recipes and such. Love you all and thank you for supporting me through all these changes 🤍🤍🤍

    what I eat for gut health, happy hormones, healthy what I eat for gut health, happy hormones, healthy skin & hair, and to be a patient mama 🖤

When my blood sugar is on a nasty rollercoaster, I’m not the best mama that I know I should be for my girl. I’m more irritable and short. So I prioritize protein, healthy fats and carbs at each meal. This helps me feel balanced and provides energy to play and chase after her all day! I need all the fuel I can get.

- breakfast tacos with pastured eggs
- collagen king coffee ☁️ 
- leftover homemade chicken fried rice 
- swedish meatballs & gf pasta & green beans
- my homemade tahini maple cookies (I have a reel with the recipe!!) but I’m truly addicted 🍪 
- always sipping on @gerolsteiner_usa 💧

    I don’t get ready everyday… But when I do I f I don’t get ready everyday…

But when I do I feel better, duh! And more confident. More productive. Happier in general. Of course I have super lazy days but I try to get myself together because I’m more likely to leave the house, you know mamas? I hate when people ask “why do you get ready if you’re home all day”.. 

I’m sharing different content like this because I feel like it and don’t want to be stuck in a box 😀

    I mean if you drink it everyday… It should be o I mean if you drink it everyday…

It should be organic, mold-free, tested for mycotoxins and taste delicious, etc. King coffee goes a step further with a therapeutic dose of reishi spores, the most powerful and potent part of reishi mushroom! Most other companies use the lucidum part of reishi, in case you’re wondering 👑

    passes & smashes for gut healing ❤️‍🩹 I passes & smashes for gut healing ❤️‍🩹

I have many more passes too.. extreme diets, too many supplements, gluten, juice cleanses, eating too fast and not chewing enough.. the list goes on!

Gut healing takes a multi-faceted approach and it’s never just one supplement to heal or one thing to do.

It takes time, patience and grace! And working alongside a practitioner you feel called to 🙏🏼
