Wow, where did the week go?!? Just finished week THREE of cleaning up my health and getting back on track. Down only
ONE sad pound this week, but fitting backing into my smaller clothes and I feel SO great!! Trying to remind myself that the scale is not the
tell all be all of life! It is easy to become frustrated after stepping off the scale and just saying, "Screw it I give up." BUT I chose to keep moving forward knowing that how I feel today, how great I feel, how happy I feel...that's the reward. I have also gone these three weeks with absolutely NO alcohol....zero, null, none! It feels amazing to go to bed and night feeling good and wake up the next morning feeling great.
This vegan redhead is so excited for the weekend (even with the crappy weather coming)...why you ask? Because there will be a new addition to the kitchen - YES a new food processor!! LOL! May not seem that exciting to some, but if you LOVE to cook and have been using a broken food processer for a while....you'd understand my excitement!! After looking around I have decided to purchase the
11-cup capacity processor from Cuisinart. We have a Cuisinart coffee maker we love, and everything I have read about this one seems to fit all of my needs. Originally I looked at buying it from Amazon, however Bed Bath & Beyond has it and guess what I have?? Yep, a 20% off coupon!! Woohooo....makes this vegan redhead a happy-happy girl!
Last night I cooked up a great vegan meal that was pretty easy and VERY tasty! There are so many different veggies you could add to this and any of my chilies/peppers can be omitted from the recipe if you don't like your food spicy.
