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 proud of Pokey and I. He eats like me for the most part. I someday really want to be full vegan. One day at a time.

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 ...

Movie Night:Hungry for Change

Last night we watched Hungry for Change. I love docs. I love docs about food! For me it helps me keep on track with what I'm doing as far as food. Sometimes I think I miss meat but I really don't. I try my hardest not to have processed food in our house. I'm glad Pokey (Husband) is on board. He will eat what ever I make. Last night I wanted Italian. I made some "pasta" I used yam noodles. So good. So lo in carbs it's great. I used bell pepper, mushrooms, onions, garlic and Italian spices. For our personal pizzas I used whole wheat high fiber lo carb tortillas. I love thin crust pizza so for my it was a no brainer. I loaded them w the same veggies I used for my sauce. I used "meatless" pepperoni and dairy free cheese. They were delish!!!

Gnocchi and Sauce

Let me start by saying I just wanted peppers and onions and wants a taco. Pokey comes in the kitchen and wanted gnocchi. (Gross) I just can't get behind eating a ball of dough. We really debated in the store behind it. I did not want him to buy it. However I let him slide because it was whole wheat and not enriched. Anywho...  1 bell pepper 1 poblano 1 onion  1 case of mushrooms 3 small yellow an orange peppers.  When he said he wanted gnocchi I added 3 tomatoes and Italian seasoning and garlic (1tsp) When I turned around to text w my sister in law he added... Champagne and Cavendar's Greek seasoning.  He threw in a little balsamic vinegar. I didn't fight him. He knows what he wants. I was no longer getting my tacos "/ Notice the pic above w veggies in a bowl? I kept those on the side while I put the veggies in the pan in the blender then added the remainder veggies back into the pan then simmered everything together. Now I added a little bit of olive oil and tomato ...
