Crazy Sexy (Kitchen) Giveaway - Enter to Win!
 |
| Enter to win! (details at the end of this post) |
Some people just shine. Being diagnosed with a rare and incurable stage 4 cancer, Kris Carr started a wellness revolution in her own life. Since learning to thrive despite her diagnosis, Kris has brought that wellness revolution into the world to share it with others. She is one of those people who I find very inspiring! I used to listen to her weekly radio show, follow her online and enjoy recipes from her cookbook. Just looking at this cookbook and reading her words, makes me feel healthy and empowered - long before I eat the recipe I'm reading about! I love Kris and am so grateful to her for the good work she does that I want to pay it forward by giving a copy of Crazy Sexy Kitchen away to one lucky reader! Yay! Before I share the details of how to enter, let me share with you a few reasons why I love this book!

Don't get the wrong idea - this book is not all about breakfast. Kris and Chef Chad Sarno share their journeys, give tools for transitioning to a healthy, plant-based diet (including information on plant-based nutrition from a RD), tips on being a bargainista, kitchen know-how (such as knife skills 101 and advice on cooking grains and beans), menu planning suggestions, and recipes from juices and smoothies to dinners and desserts. This book is designed to provide guidance and inspiration for anyone from the kitchen novice to the gourmand. That includes YOU, so enter to win!

Somer at Vedgedout.com is a huge inspiration to me. She regained her health and lost the unhealthy weight by becoming vegan. I am working toward the same goal.

ReplyDeleteMy wife and kids inspired me to cut out most meats and live a healthier lifestyle. I want to be here for them as long as I can.
ReplyDeleteThat's great! Isn't it amazing how love can motivate us to take better care of ourselves and the world!? I recently lost my dad when he was only in his 50s. Luckily I was an adult, but it's still been so hard for my mom and me and I wouldn't wish the pain of losing a husband and dad so young on anyone.

DeleteMy dear friend (more like a sister) inspired me to give up meat in February 2012. I had lost my way in many areas of my life and fast food had become a staple in my diet. I had been using it as a substitute for the sense of meaningful connection that had been missing from my life for some time. This amazing person walked into my life about 6 months prior, and was one of the only people in the world that I felt that sense of connection with. She had been vegan for quite a while, but still found it in her heart to listen without judgement about my reckless eating escapades (not to mention my rapid weight gain and sky rocketing cholesterol). She had just read the book 29 Gifts by Cami Walker and asked me to give up fast food as a gift to her (wink, wink). I took the bait and as I started experiencing changes in my body and way of thinking, I gave up all meat. I started seeing and feeling the interconnectedness of all living things. Exactly a year after giving up meat, the universe even brought a beautiful dog into my life :)! I am now on the road to becoming completely vegan. This sister/ friend is one of the most kind, compassionate and inspiring people I have ever met (or probably will ever meet). She has brought so much joy into my life and inspires me to be the best person I can be each and every day❤❤❤.
ReplyDeleteWow! (Tears streaming down) How wonderful! I'm sure she considers this to be one of the be one of the best things she's ever done in her life.
DeleteI'd like to enter the cook book drawing please! Lovely website. Thanks for the information!

Great! Thanks for entering!
DeleteI have been following you on facebook for months and really enjoy the information you have shared!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad! Thank you so much!!
DeleteThanks for leading me here, Heather! And thanks for sharing and thw giveaway opportunity. I remember seeing Kris's story on FOK but didn't know she had a radio show or a cookbook! I liked EMWV on facebook and am now following on Twitter and Instagram. I think one of the biggest influences on my plant based lifestyle is the desire to be able to live a full life with my husband for as long as possible. I not only want to be 80, but 80 and active with my husband!
ReplyDeleteI think that her radio show is either on hiatus or cancelled? I haven't figured it out yet, but I really enjoyed it when it was on every week. She has quite a few books and a documentary! I love your reason for going plant based, Crystalyn! Thanks so much for entering!! :-)
DeleteI am following you on Twitter and liked you on facebook. Love the blog Heather.
