Eating Mindfully_Days 5 & 6

Almost halfway through the 14 day WFPB eating challenge, and I can't really say its been much of a challenge!  I'm having so much fun creating meals, I feel great, satisfied, and healthy. Midway through the week the challenge became keeping it interesting during the day. Dinner was my main focus especially because I was preparing it for my family as well as myself.  The good news was that I was able to dig into leftovers as part of my lunches every now and then, and I prepared extra beans and quinoa from one meal to have on hand later in the week.

Meanwhile, Maggie has been my little sous chef, sorting chopped veggies, stirring risotto, and learning that asparagus is "yummy!"  Last night we made butternut ginger soup from "Finding Vegan" and tonight was the creamiest, richest risotto (with kale and peas) that I've ever had - and no cheese or cream or any other dairy!  Check out Gwyneth Paltrow's cookbook, "Its All Good." She has lots of vegan and elimination diet recipes. Yummy stuff.
