Whatcha eating today VSGers?? Saturday...
What a beautiful day it is today. I'm doing nothing but cooking so far this morning. I've made stuff bell peppers and on tap for later is Thai Shrimp Curry, Summer Stirfry, Craw Slaw, Mashed Cauliflower, and also a dessert recipe ala Eggface Ricotta Parfait to have with some cantaloupe. I love being on plan and being in control. I am planning my days, my weekends, my "treats," my everythings. There is no reason when I buy groceries that I should feel the need to buy other food. Just have it prepared and I know I can get to it. It's not like in the hunting and gathering days when we didn't know WHERE our next meal was coming from. Well let me finish cooking lol

You survived what you thought would kill you. Now straighten your crown and go forward like the Queen you are!
That food all sounds wonderful. I also find I am eating much better now that I am planning my meals carefully. I've learned to cook a lot of interesting veggie dishes. I've got a much broader set of recipes, and I enjoy the food I eat even more than when I could eat anything I wanted. That's an unanticipated benefit of the sleeve! Have a good weekend everyone. Happy cooking Ms Shell!!
