Meatless Monday: Mimi and Lily

Mimi came over this afternoon. We were hanging out. She loves making smoothie and juicing. (YAY!!)

Kept it simple: strawberries, grapes, kiwi, blueberries, chia seeds and spinach! She was kinda nervous about the spinach. I told she should at least have some green in every meal.

We keep it classy. How else would you drink a smoothie? We fancy.

Lily and the boys came over. We made lunch. I forgot I bought saffron the last time her and I went to HEB. I use it in my quinoa today. It was so good! Lily cooked a sweet potato hash.

4 sweet potatoes

2 small red peppers

2 green bell peppers.

1 onion

2 celery stalks

1 corn (sliced off the cob)

Old bay seasoning (how ever much you want)

Black pepper (how ever how much you want)

1/2c vegetable stalk

Dice up all veggies and sauté them w oil. We used coconut oil. The last veggie to add is sweet potato. When everything turn soft and tender add the veggie stalk and lower the heat. Put a lid on it to steam the veggies. It will take probably like 8-10 minutes. Keep an eye on your food. Lol. It will be delish!

Jackfruit "beef" Stew

SATURDAY WITH MY PARENTS! Pokey went fishing and I went grocery shopping. I love to hang out with my family. I love them with my entire heart. I called my mom and asked her if she wanted to join me while I picked up a few things from the store. Of course, she said yes. When I get to my parents she says my dad wants tacos from Cristobal. I'm down because they really have great tacos. I got beans and nopales (cactus) Look how cute my parents are. 43 years in February. I love that they show love to each other. We ended up going to HEB and I didn't grab much but I got some acorn squash and some okra. It was a cold Saturday and I know him being on the water plus the wind I know he would appreciate a warm meal when he came home. My mom in law bought us a Ninja Foodi and I have been intimidated by it for almost a year. This is probably the 4th time I have used it. I had one of those meal cheaters, it was beef stew one where you add meat and some veggies. I added ...

It's May!

I was texting w La and we were talking food and what not. Anyways. It dawned on my that its May. I'm going into my fifth month of being like 90% vegan. It's funny because its not like that 10% is milk and cheese. It's Chic Fil A! Lol. Their sunflower bagel chicken breakfast biscuit is crack! At work we had a luncheon and they make the best steak. I had a couple of bites and I gave it to Patty. I didn't have a taste for it..what...crazy in know. Another time we had family over and I bought barbacoa and carnitas. I was so sad face. The barbacoa was not delish to me any more. Carnitas were great but I could do w out. I just was always a fan of pork. But I haven't had bacon yet. Go figure. We started this journey w juicing. And then after I thought "no meat/dairy" till the end of March. I wanted to get blood work done to see if it was worth it. It was. I lowered my cholesterol by 13 points! I think that's great. Plus...I feel great. I'm very ...

21 Day Sugar Detox

Monday after Super Bowl some friends and I started this detox. I was nervous, excited, anxious and scared. I didn't know what to expect. It went well. I are a lot like this. No sugar meant no bread or processed foods. I lost 9lbs. It felt good. It did change my way of thinking about sweets. I don't crave them. I guess that was the point lol. I'm glad it's over but I've been following the diet for the most part.

Vegan Mostly
