- Welcome to TR's Vegan, Organic & Fresh Kitchen -

 If it doesn’t come from a tree or a garden I don’t eat it! All of the meals on this page were cooked and prepared by me; I’m a Vegan, which means that I do not eat ANY meat or ANY animal products. All of my meals are a combination of fresh & organic vegetables, grains, fruits, nuts, seeds, wheat, lentils, beans, brown rice, whole wheat pasta, herbs and spices. I’m a strong believer that your food is your medicine and if you take care of your body on the inside then your outside will glow and shine naturally. Enjoy my meals because I surely have and remember YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT :-> Lifestyle Fitness Expert 'LaTRicia'

EAT FRESH - EAT ORGANIC - EAT MORE VEGGIES - EAT MORE FRUITS

-LaTRicia Answers:


Q. If I become a Vegan, will I lose weight?
A. NO not necessarily! You can still be a Vegan and make unhealthy choices by over eating and not exercising. Being a Vegan is a lifestyle not a fad diet. The key to losing weight is making healthy choices and exercising regularly. Regardless of your diet, consistency is vital!

Q. Do you encourage your clients to become a Vegan?
A. No! I encourage my clients to make healthier food choices and I teach them how to prepare healthy meals, up on request. However, if they‘re interested in becoming a Vegan or a Vegetarian, then of course, I’m the one to guide them :->

Q. Do you cook for your clients?
A. Yes, I do private cooking sessions with my clients and during this time, I’m cooking and teaching them how to make their meals healthier and tasty.

Q. What do you think about diet pills?
A. I’m strongly against diet pills, fad diets, weight lose gimmicks, diet powers, diet drinks & ANY products that make weight lose claims. These methods are unhealthy and many are dangerous to your health! Unlike others, my motive isn’t money it’s people. I care about “People” and I take their health extremely seriously. My recipe for a healthy lifestyle are hard work, eating healthier, exercising and dedication, it's not easy but nothing good comes easy!

Q. What are your tips for being healthy?
A. I advise people to stay away from junk food, fast food, processed foods & fried foods and to substitute those bad choices with good choices such as eating more fresh vegetables, fruits, grains and drinking at least a liter of water daily! Losing weight and keeping it off is based on what you eat and how often you exercise. There aren't any quick fixes, a healthy and active lifestyle is just that a "Lifestyle"!  Focus on making healthy food choices and exercising regularly, there are NO EXCUSES for losing control of your health, absolutely NONE! It's all a choice and it's up to you to make the right choices!!!

TR's Kitchen: "NFL Playoff Dinner": Addressing "Protein" questions: All of my ingredients are Organic & Freshly prepared. Here we have whole wheat grain Bulgur (high in fiber & protein), white kidney beans, spinach, other vegetables, spices, and fresh herbs to taste. The total amount of protein on this “Vegan” dish is 46grams, YES, that’s more protein than in ANY single meat serving, including more protein than whats in a 4oz sirloin lean steak. Here is the protein break down: 1 cup of White Kidney Beans= 17g, 1/2 cup of Almonds= 10g, 2 cups of Spinach= 10g, 1 1/2 cup Bulgur =9g. So YES, we Vegans get our protein and every other nutrients in abundance. God didn’t create a garden of vegetation without making sure that we could obtain, all nutrients that the body needs ;-> Now it’s time to get ready to watch my baby Tim Tebow bring me a “W” tonight, Lets go Denver!!!
