So I decided to go Vegan for a month (my music producer Kevin McNoldy has been vegan for 13 years!). Yep, cold turkey! But actually since I’m already Gluten Free and I don’t really eat dairy much anyway, I thought it would be fairly easy. My biggest challenge i think is going to be eggs, because let me tell you, I LOVE EGGS! I’ll let you know in my next update how it went. Anyway in light of my new diet here’s fun recipe for you to try.

Vegan Hash Brown Omelette from Vegan But Lazy. There are actually a few recipes on this site, so feel free to go to town and if you try any others, let me know.

I’m so excited to announce that starting early July local Raleigh, NC music and art venue Imurj will begin selling Heartbeat CDs! Imurj is located in downtown Raleigh, NC just a short walk from Red Hat Amphitheater. They host a ton a music and art events and even have an internet radio where you can listen to the entire album. Check them out and stay tuned for more announcements around this venue.

Massive thanks to New Visions Radio, Radio Indie Alliance, and all the fans for supporting my song “Light It Up”! We’ve been in the top 10 charts for over a month and have now hit 3 weeks in a row at #1!

“Can’t Let You Go” hits the PLAYMPE Adult Contemporary streaming and download charts two weeks in a row, topping at #8 and #6 respectively! This is actually quite a major accomplishment due to the fact that most of the major record labels use this service as well.

For those of you that don’t know me on a day to day basis, I have a gluten allergy and tend to follow a high protein, low carb, non-dairy diet. I know- TMI! But seriously, it’s not a fad, it’s a lifestyle. Because of my limited diet, I’m always hunting for new recipes to try and I find all kinds of cool options out on Pinterest. While not all of them are mouthwatering, some of them are really too die for!!! So much so, I’ve decided to add a monthly recipe post so you can try some of these yourself. So without further ado, this month’s post is one of my all-time favorites: Bananas and Chocolate. Need I say more?

Paleo Chocolate Chip Coconut Flour Banana Bread

TIP: A great way to ripen bananas is to put them in your freezer for a couple of days. When you are ready to make the bread, take them out and let them thaw in a bowl for a few hours before adding the rest of the ingredients. I also usually double the recipe so I can bake two loaves at once. They freeze very well!

Be sure to send me an email or a tweet to let me know what you think and how yours turned out.
