For Floyd Imagination Month (FloCoIMo) I decided that my creative project would be baking and cooking 31 recipes. I chose this because it felt easy in a month that started with me wanting to do absolutely nothing. I would already be cooking and frankly, I knew it would be more realistic than signing up for [...]

Click Photo For Source I have a new love… Don’t tell Josh, but it’s starting to get serious. These cremini (crimini?) mushrooms are downright life changing. I like to say everything that I love is life changing, but these guys are seriously dear to my heart. They are so rich and satisfying. That umami flavor does it for [...] I make vegetable kung pao with peanuts at least once a week. Josh loves it, I love it, and it’s quick and easy to make. I’m pretty sure I could make it with my eyes closed. I sauté two or three cups of celery and one chopped onion in 1-2 T sesame or olive oil. [...] Today’s lunch reminds me of my mom and home. I used Bobby’s Goulash as a base recipe because it’s the closest to my mom’s goulash.

This message resonates with me especially on days when my journey or path isn’t clear. I’m finding that my biggest obstacle in life is me, and being too much in my head. I can talk myself out of anything. I [...] Figuring out what I want is key. Any time that familiar voice tells me “Well you could eat a pint of ice cream. No one would know. You could just start over tomorrow. You deserve it.” I have a back up plan, and that plan is my mission. My mission is to do what [...]
(I made lemon and raspberry jam pancakes this weekend! Check out my other blog, Beautiful Layers, for the easy recipe.) This week I’m adding a little more structure to my weight loss efforts. I feel like I’m getting the hang of my new, no-binge eating habits and now I’m ready to [...] That sounds like the lyrics to a church hymn, but you know what I’m finding out? When I’m listening and engaging my higher self, the world seems brighter and everything is more clear. Food is not fear, it is love and so much more enjoyable when I’m not eating it in excess. I’ve been [...] |
