Healthy Christmas Dinner
Earlier today I was planning the Christmas Dinner menu. I’ve been a vegetarian for many years, but 2017 was the year I turned fully vegan… yeiii helping the polar bears(I do not intend to put harsh images or sad news in this post, but if you want to know, please click on this link and see the starving polar bear which the deforestation for meat production has kicked out of beautiful glacier house due to global warming Polar Bear in Trouble)
So I was searching for good at Hay House Healthy Eating Books
And I found this great post at the VeganSociety.com
Hope you enjoy your Christmas Dinner and help the Polar Bears while saving money (did you know a Vegetarian Christmas Meal is 40% less expensive than a regular Christmas Meal?) and eating healthier! that is for sure!
Perhaps you want to one step further and save what you saved DONATE SAVE POLAR BEARS
Bon Appetit!,
