Power Plates by Gena Hamshaw

I've been wanting to eat healthier for some time now. Some consideration has been given to vegetarian, vegan, or just cutting out some foods. Then I seen this cookbook on the Blogging for Books site and I thought I would read it to get some insight. Power Plates is my first vegan cookbook and it's a lot to take in. Author Gena Hamshaw did a really good job of explaining the ins and outs.  I'm glad I chose this book because she has some experience in eating healthy.

She is author of the Full Helping blog and two other cookbooks; Choosing Raw and Food52 Vegan. Hamshaw has also written articles in publications like self magazine.

This cookbook has the nicest illustrations, easy to follow recipes, and a excellent introduction. It's one of the most complete vegan cookbooks that I have ever seen. Just the thought of one hundred meals in six categories: breakfast, salads, soups, bowls, bakes, skillet and stove top. Hamshaw discusses how to cook and prepare ingredients in detail. Which is very good for someone like me who doesn't cook or eat vegan, but is interested in learning about this way of cooking.

I would recommend this book to anyone just learning to cook vegan. It would make a perfect gift also. The price 24.99 isn't too bad either.

The Daily Question: My 5 Year Spiritual Journal

Journaling is my new pastime. I watch Youtube videos all the time. This is my first time coming  across a journal that covers 5 years. Every year for 5 years you will answer the same question. It's not a big book in length. You've already guessed it has 365 pages. So there's 365 questions and in 5 years there will be 1,825 answers.
The one problem I have with this journal is, will someone really keep answering these same questions for 5 years. I probably won't but if you know someone who will; it would make a nice gift. It's a different and unique way to journal. A nice way to track your spiritual growth.
My copy is hard cover. The cost isn't too bad $14.99 in the US and $19.00 in Canada.
