thanks for the love!! hope you have an amazing day 😘😘

As most of us are spending our days at home (we all should if we can), I‘m hoping this post about storing pantry items comes in handy 🤍 Stay safe and healthy my loves, we’re in this together! x . What I store in my pantry vs fridge varies on how fast I move through the items and quantities I have at the time. I typically buy nuts, seeds, beans, grains, etc. in bulk. I store what I’ll eat in the upcoming weeks or months in the pantry and the rest in the fridge/freezer. If they’re not stored properly, they‘ll go rancid or stale quickly. ↡ General rules I follow for storing nuts: • Use air-tight glass containers. • Whole nuts keep better than chopped or ground nuts. • Roasted nuts turn rancid quicker than raw nuts. • Shelled nuts have shorter shelf life than nuts in the shell. • Nuts absorb odors, keep them away from smelly foods like onions. • Light, heat, humidity and excess moisture cause nuts to spoil faster. • Store at room temp for 3 months, fridge for 6 months and freezer for a year. • Label containers with the date of purchase to keep track of which to consume first. ↡ If you have enough fridge or freezer space I would recommend popping them in there right away to keep everything fresh — you don’t have to worry about any food going to waste🌿 ↡ Full post is up on my blog (link in bio @raw_manda) and for those asking it includes what jars and label maker I use🙂 If you have any super rad storage tips or just want to show some love, leave your comments below💛 posted on Instagram - https://ift.tt/39ekhcD

activism comes in so many forms. wearing clothing with a message, watching a documentary with your family, bringing someone to a vegan restaurant, cooking plantbased food for friends, attending an animal vigil, sharing your story, posting on social media or having a conversation with a stranger. these are all ways to spread awareness. no act is too big or too small. the animals certainly don’t care how we do it, they have no voice. they need ours in whatever form we can give them. i’ve met so many people who are passionate about veganism (or any cause really!) but feel as if they won’t make an difference. this is not true! planting seeds wherever possible will make an impact i promise. this goes for anything you’re passionate about and believe in. don’t ever quiet your voice because it matters. we can all make a change in this world, each and every one of us. yes, you reading this! never doubt the impact you’re capable of having. i started this account with my camera phone, taking pictures of the food i was eating and it turned into a space where i can now reach thousands around the world to share my truth. let’s leverage social media for all the good it can bring in this world. don’t be afraid to speak up! i’m saying this because i still struggle with it but fear shows us what our truest desires are. sending love and light to all you beautiful humans that continue to support me. thank you for being here. i appreciate you! https://ift.tt/2OLkyyO

how you create the perfect bite? summer rolls 😉 rice paper wraps are my current obsession. i love filling them up with tons of veggies. these babies are filled with tempeh (cooked in coconut aminos, garlic, maple syrup and a bit of olive oil), shredded carrots, cabbage, avocado, slice almonds, bell peppers, micro arugula and thin rice noodles ❤️ https://ift.tt/2M24gzk

you’re all that and dim sum 😉 . 🥟 @workaholic_usa 📍@veganstreetfair https://ift.tt/315YY9x

#ad Today’s morning delight! Blue mango smoothie topped with farmers market pink lemonade blueberries (yes, they taste just like pink lemonade!!), strawberries, kiwis, coconut shreds and @Triscuit’s new crunchy snack made with plant based fuel, Wheatberry Clusters. Love how the brand combined whole roasted wheat berries with dried fruits and nuts, like in the Cherries & Almonds flavor!

MSG FOR 21+ Is wine vegan? Wine is made from grapes 🍇 but the actual process to make wine isn’t always vegan. Many winemakers use ingredients like fish bladder or animal cartilage to speed up the process😮 I’ve written more about this in my latest blog post (www.rawmanda.com) Not to worry, there are plenty of brands that use vegan ingredients to process wine🍷 We recently celebrated a birthday with a vegan party platter and @Wente Morning Fog Chardonnay which of course is animal-friendly! #SummerWithWente #ad https://ift.tt/2Xvzu7n

starting mother’s day brunch with beautiful blooms 💐 and a vegan snack platter including guacamole + spicy harissa dip, fruits, crackers, nuts and @pureleaf hibiscus tea. my mom has always been obsessed with flowers, making sure there’s always fresh blooms for all special occasions. here are some of her tips for picking out flowers: ≫ pick seasonally. select locally grown flowers in the current season. ≫ choose carefully. don’t quickly pick the prettiest ones at first glance. take a close look at the flowers you’re about to purchase. ≫ check foliage and stems. look beyond the flowers - examine the leaves and stems to make sure they aren’t mushy or withered. ≫ make them last. choose blooms that are on the verge of blooming. fully bloomed flowers won’t last as long. #BloomingWithFlavor #HouseofHibiscus #MomsWhoBrunch #ad http://bit.ly/2PWHEj9
