Vegan

So its been awhile. But I'm still alive. :) 

I have a new adventure hopefully to document. My friend C challenged a few friends to eat clean for 2 weeks. Eessentially eating vegan for two weeks.

Today C and I spent a few hours plannig meals and going grocery shopping. It actually didnt cost as much as I thought. Im excited to start this and continue eating healthier. Hopefully I can document some of it along the way.

Day #29

Basil. Onion. Scrambled eggs. That was today's recipe. Searching the Internet I read a title of basil scrambled eggs. I decided to add some minced onion to the mix. Well today was somewhat a bust. Matt was a good sport and ate them. But I couldn't get myself to eat them. Either combination of not liking the taste or loss of appetite from morning run. Needless to say. My breakfast was toast. They look fancy. But most likely not a repeat.

Day #28 and Pretend Day #27

We had some friends over last night for piano lessons and dinner. I tweaked a previous recipe for spicy corn. Only this time I used the steamer, added some chili powder, homegrown peppers and jalepanos, minced onions, and other spices. Then steamed for 30 minutes and it was good.

Pretend day #28 was the other side we had. We steamed potatoes along with the corn. We dressed them with dill and garlic powder which had parsley in it.

Both dishes turned out great and are definite repeats.

Day #25 Makeup

Yesterday my husband and I spent the day at the temple and it was wonderful. So I didn't get a chance to make something. So here's a makeup.

We've been growing herbs in our garden. When we bought them they each came with a recipe to use them. Today I made Greek oregano chicken. It was yummy! A definite repeat. I did add some chives in it. They are growing like weeds. It was a good recipe and pretty easy

Day #26

Cookies. Best thing ever almost. But they are up there. A made some cookies from the Worldwide Waed Cookbook Secret Recipes. A definite must buy cookbook (you can buy at Deseret Book or amazon) anywho. I left out the coconut(didn't have any) and substituted butter for shortening. But they are delicious. Peanut butter oatmeal and chocolate chips. What gets better than that in a cookie. Nothing.

Day #24

Chocolate and peanut butter. It's like they were meant to be together. Tonight we went simple. Magical recipes from jello and cool whip. Easy as pie to make. Make some pudding chocolate or vanilla. I chose chocolate. One it's good with peanut butter and two. No vanilla in the house. After its made. Mix in some peanut butter. We had chunky open so that's what I used. Adds some texture to the pudding. The eat with a spoonful of cool whip on top. Very good. And lots of pudding to eat. It may be this weekends dessert.
