Hello, I'm Jac. I'm a Plant Based Food Blogger, YouTuber, and World Traveler. (Almost 400,000 Fans)

Hello Steemit Community,

My name is Jac (sounds like Jac). I am a Plant Based Food Blogger from Alabama, USA. I've been vegetarian for 10 years and vegan for almost 2 years. My website has reflected my diet changes. I produce Vegan recipes now, but have a backlog of 4 years of Vegetarian Recipes.

I am a fairly active person. I love hiking, playing soccer, and getting down & dirty in my garden. I do crossfit, mud runs, and love testing myself with new and difficult physical feats.

I've been an active social media user for the last decade and always love finding new ones. Thanks to @allasyummyfood for sharing this one me. I've amassed nearly 400,000 fans over the last 5 years with my @VegetarianBaker branded account. I'm very excited to start my journey on Steemit.

My goal is to share all of my delicious Vegan and Vegetarian Recipes with the world.. I'm not here to convert anyone to the plant based lifestyle. I just want to show you that Vegan & Vegetarian recipes can be easy, delicious, and enjoyed by all. I'm also working on my first official cookbook and I want to take the Steemit Community on that journey as well.

PLEASE FOLLOW & UPVOTE!!!

Its hard to do it all right from beginning on ^^
And you miss all that cool people which come around the corner to help :-)

Welcome Jac!! So happy you joined and you will share your amazing food here:)

Thank so much @allasyummyfood. This community has been absolutely wonderful. Definitely a game changer.

Welcome to Steemit, Jac!

Awesome to see that Alla has introduced you.
I'm looking forward to your delicious posts and recipes on steemit! I'm sure you will have lots of fun on this platform!

Thanks. What a fun Gif That is.

I'm Still figuring it all out, but that's all a part of the adventure.

Hi Jac! Here is a post I did to help newcomers like yourself. Hope this helps. How To Use Steemit - https://steemit.com/howto/@sebastianjago/how-to-use-steemit-my-answers-in-point-form-with-some-hot-tips

This is awesome. Thanks. :)

Not vegan myself but I totally support big Youtubers coming here. Difference is great for the community :)

Completely agree. I don't consider myself a Big YouTuber. just moderately successful ahah ;)

It's big to me when I only have 130 followers on my YouTube channel haha. I was concentrating on growing my audience and then Steemit came along.

I guess you are right. I have a little over 42,000. I really want to get to 100K. Like you don't know how bad I want it.

Welcome to Steemit, I'm excited to see the veg crowd gaining steem, there's been relatively few of us for a while. Don't miss out on the weekly #steemitculinarychallenge, and have fun :-)


I just gifted you a @randowhale vote as part of an idea I'm calling #payitforward. As you can see from this image, my 2 $BD payment to @randowhale just turned into an increase of around $13 on your expected payout (meaning 6.5 $BD & some number of SteemPower). If you were to spend just 4 of that extra $BD to #payitforward to two other posts, you would still be ahead and could give them the same kind of boost, or maybe even more :-)

Steem on!

PS: Thanks @randowhale

Hi! I'm vegan too - it's so good to find more plant based people - where are you guys hanging out?

Hi @harrietbradley! Following you :-)

I'm currently in Portland, OR, getting ready to spend about a month cooking at the National Rainbow Gathering -> Instant Soup 24hr Vegan Kitchen!

Woah that sounds amazing... You're going to have to blog about that, I've never even heard of that being a thing.

I've already written quite a few actually :-P

  • Here's a 5-part series breaking down what Rainbow is
  • Here's my presentation at Anarchapulco about it
  • Here's my guide to attending your first Gathering

I used to live in Portland. :)

@vegetarianbaker No surprise there, SOO many wonderful people in the veg-food game here :-)

Thats actually where I decided to go vegan. I live in alabama now, but it's extremely hard.

Ouch, I can imagine

@kennyskitchen. I just figured out @randowhale so i'll be trying to payitforward soon with new accounts, once I find some worthy ones. :) Thanks for making my start hear much easier.

I'll be sure to do that once I figure out exactly what is going on with the cryptocurrency. :) Im excited to be joining the food scene on here and starting to build a bigger presence with the plant based community.

You're very welcome!

Hi Jac, looking forward to your postings. Myself I am on the Mucus free diet so I'm curious what recipes will fit me. In the meantime I will have a look/search at all the other links you gave us. Good luck on your Steemt adventure.

Mucus free diet? What exactly is that?

first off really sorry for missing your question, I had no idea you posted this question! I will answer right away!!

with this lifestyle the only foods you eat are: fruit, salads, cooked or baked vegetables, but...... only those that do not turn into mucus, puss or acid.
100 years ago Arnold Ehret discovered that stop eating mucus forming food, fasting and transition to a mucusfree diet will cure any disease. Luckily I have great health but after reading the book 'Mucusless Diet Healing System' by Prof Ehret and Prof Spiral

https://www.amazon.com/Arnold-Ehrets-Mucusless-Healing-System-ebook/dp/B00POQZPU0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1499458666&sr=8-1&keywords=mucus+free+healing+system

I decided that I wanted to be clean in the inside as well. I am a vegetarian but even so I was getting a lot of mucus in my body. Since I started the diet I lost 9 kg which is a bit much for my posture but it will even out eventually I am told. I have been ill with high fever within the first 2 weeks, sore throat, blowing my nose like insane for about 10 days. All this is due to the mucus leaving my body, detoxing. 8 weeks later I feel great, light, positive, energy still a little low since I am for sure not done eliminating mucus and puss that got stuck everywhere from all these years.

When you start changing your diet into mucus free there is the so called 'transition diet' which can last how ever long you want it to be since you still can eat certain low mucus forming foods. But my goal is mucus free. It is important that you do not transition too fast, your body needs time to adjust to all the good it is receiving :)
All I can say is READ THE BOOK and then read all the other as well. Spira speaks is a great addition too! Cheers and my apologies from the ❤️
