The joy of cooking

Have you seen Julie & Julia?

I'm currently in the middle of watching the movie Julie and Julia, my mom told me about it, I had no idea what it was about. I do adore it so far though.

Speaking of my mom, I just want to say how excited I am that she is interested in my way of eating and I hope that these dietary changes help with some of her health issues as they have mine. I don't consider myself to be a preachy type of vegan, but I definitely love to give people information when they ask and my mom has been asking for a few months now. She just has all sorts of questions and her inquisitiveness is kind of cute to me. :)

Also, I am a firm believer in he concept of leading with your fork. I love to cook for people and tomorrow my sister and I are going down home. I will have a lot to write about the cooking adventures we have Wednesday night. My sister is an amazing photographer and she will be taking pictures of the fabulous soy free, gluten free, vegan food! Keep a look out!

I can't wait to get some really fabulous pictures on this blog. I will be seeing my sister more often and she will be taking updated pictures for me to post here that are far more amazing than anything I could ever have taken myself. She is so talented!

Well, to close out this blog posting I wanted to say I just finished watching Julie & Julia and I loved it! That is how I feel when I cook, I'm not sure I enjoy anything more, except maybe eating. ;)

Do you like to cook? Do you have any original recipes on your blog? If you have one please leave a link below, I'd love to check it out!

"Nothing to say but Mmmmm" vegan alfredo

~*~*~This recipe is gluten free and vegan~*~*~ As are all my recipes Serves two. UPDATE: 3/17/2011 I have de-spiced this a bit and gave directions for a smaller serving of sauce. It seems I like my food spicier than most! ;) I've tried many vegan alfredo recipes I found online or in cookbooks and I never made one that i liked so much i made it twice. Always looking for something better. Tonight I messed around and created my own. My bf took one bite and he made.... The "O" face. Ha! He named this recipe when he said, "Nothing to say but Mmmm...". EDITED TO ADD: You will have LOTS of sauce left over, you can easily cut the sauce ingredients in half. Oops. What you need:  Here it is, excuse my horrible handwriting. I tried. ;) Here is a pic of stuff I used: Directions: I made the alfredo sauce while the gluten free (bionatura is my fave brand), pasta cooked.   I put 1 pack of mori nu lite silken tofu into the ninja ( my food processor above ), and...

I'm on my way!

That's it, I officially have diabetes. It's early, and I can reverse it if I try. I've started taking Victoza, it's an injection medication (non insulin) that makes you digest food more slowly. Keeping you feeling fuller longer. This is EXACTLY what I have always needed, because the anti-psychotics I take for my bipolar basically turn OFF my full signal. This stuff is great. in about three weeks I have lost 15 lbs. By my next doc appt (on july 19th) I am hoping to be back in the 200's. I'm only a few lbs away as is! I don't have much to say, other than I love this med and hope that it continues to work for me. I seem to have hit the medication jackpot. Bipolar meds are working great, I'm on neurontin now for my fibromyalgia, also working great, and now the victoza. Life feels in balance. I'm on my way!

"Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving."

I looked at this blog for the first time in two years the other day. I wanted to reference a post in another piece of writing. I had completely forgotten that I had revamped this site, and I like its look now. I do honestly miss writing here. So, I might try and liven the joint up a bit. Check back soon! Where am I now? I am going for a physical next Friday. It will be the first one I've had in a year and a half.  I have been gaining and losing the same 20 pounds my entire life, it seems. I have had some severe health issues in the last couple of years, like heavy shit that I'm not going to bore you with right now. Either way, my immune system decided to go bust. I have spent close to a year trying to improve it. I'm eating pretty healthy, I take vitamins now, and immune-boosting gummies, and zinc and blah blah blah. I was also suffering from chronic dehydration. Don't let yourself get there kiddie winkies. It's a bad time. I have spent the last three months or ...
