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 the jackfruit with onions, carrots, and potatoes and set it for 4 hours. It was easy enough and I started to binge-watch Bridgerton on Netflix. 


I steamed some white rice and poured my stew ontop. This was delish and I'm pretty sure I will do this again. I need to use this Ninja Foodi more often. 


I love jackfruit and I can not wait until I make something else. Once it was done cooking I shredded it in a bowl and then added it back so it can keep warm. If you are like me you will love to make this because it is so easy! I'm always down to throw something in a slow cooker and let it cook itself and not have to worry about it too much.

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.
