this is what our lives have become...

This is lunch, no joke. After my mom sent us this book- all about eating better, less processed foods- essentially a vegan diet, we have really stuck to it, with the occasional pizza slip! But I assure you, it's good pizza- from Otto's in portland, me, so tasty and with veggie toppings galore, so it actually feels healthy.

I will say that we were always pretty good eaters, no junk food or soda, but our limited budget did keep us skipping meals and not eating a variety of fruits and fresh veg... the biggest areas of change have been with bread and let's face it weekend pancakes! So unlike most american's this new "diet- as in what you eat, not a fade to get thin" hasn't been a huge challenge, but more like an awakening to being more conscious about the specifics of what we eat.

Anyway, this was our lunch today we each had an enormous salad. We aren't just rabbits, we also eat more rice, quinoa, beans, etc. And to help all of these leafy greens go down we use a healthy ginger dressing. Eating so much veg and fruit really makes you feel more awake, and cleaner.... I'll include some recipes as we go along, but it's been a lot of fun, an adventure if you will!
