Tips to Help You Along

Technology is a beautiful thing when used correctly. How does it help me stay on track? Pinterest and Evernote are my staples when it comes to having a handy way to keep all of the recipes and motivation right at my fingertips. I discovered Evernote through a blog that was discussing homemaking. One thing I  keep on it is my grocery list. This app syncs to other devices, like my husband's phone. So if he is out shopping, he can look up what we need at any given store and buy it and delete the item off. It all communicates so that our grocery lists are always up-to-date. Evernote is just a list-making app and website. Nothing fancy and it was pretty easy to get to know.

One thing that I love about it, is when I see a post on Facebook in one of the great Eat to Live facebook groups, I can copy the post and paste it into Evernote. I have copied recipes that people have just posted into the feed without any links. I've also copied links.

 If you have another app that you use to keep yourself organized, then think about using it to keep recipes and anything that will help you stay on track. I've copied links in Evernote to websites that give ideas for eating out as a vegan and vegan eating at Disneyland.

Pinterest is my other go-to for keeping recipes and wonderful inspirational quotes. Pinterest is very user friendly and can suck your life away if you let it. I make sure I'm very focused when I delve into the Pinterest abyss. I've found great recipes when looking up vegan lentils, vegan salad dressing, vegan bean recipes, plant based recipes, eat to live recipes, Dr. Fuhrman recipes and more. Almost daily I look up a recipe in my Pinterest board. If you are a member of Dr. Fuhrman's website, you can Pin recipes you find on there onto Pinterest. It will pin a link, but you have to be a member to access it. On a side-note, I'm a member of his website and for $3.95 a month I get access to all of the recipes in his books, plus motivational stories of success and an 'Ask the Doctor' section. I really like it.

I hope you find a little nugget in what I shared. I get no 'kick-backs' for my suggestions. Just ideas for you that have helped me :)
