Recipe on it's way! zesty? yes plz.

So I made this today:

Joey loves 'chicken and rice' or 'chicken and star's' types of canned soups, but he doesn't eat meat anymore. I'm eating dinner before him tonight and wanted him to have something easy to heat up when he got home that wouldn't dirty a lot of dishes.

I made this chicken style tofu and rice veggie soup. It. Is. Amazing. It is a weird assortment of spices, because I was fresh out of veggie broth and base. Instead I boiled some spices for a bit then strained them through cheesecloth,the remaining bits can be seen above. Just enough of them to make my photo stylin'. :)

I was also shocked to find that I found a way to make tofu taste like rotisserie chicken. On total accident. Wow. There's a bit of rice in there too. It is truly amazing. I'm not much a soup person and this is hearty, packed with veggies and protein, the recipe I tracked my calories for was for half of this. I doubt I'll eat even a quarter of all it made! I will post this recipe sometime in the future, but this is just a prototype, I didn't measure anything at all and barely know what's in it. I'll have to check the spices I left out! It's a bit spicy...nono..zesty. It's totally...zesty.

"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 ...
