A steamy bowl of vegan barley soup! My honey made me a pot full of it Sunday before I took her back to her place. She keeps a baggy of "soup bones" in the freezer...ends off zucchinis, parsnips, green onions, carrots, leafy greens we chop up for this, sun dried tomatoes, beef bone broth, onions, potatoes.....and it was so good!!

PS...I have a ton of vegan dishes since we began dating back in July & have lost 20 lbs. I need to lose 34 more so my surgeon will finish my hernia repair. Today I am wearing an XL long sleeved shirt and 2xl sweatpants...I used to wear 3xl or 4xl shirts... and 4 xl sweats. I am so proud of myself. No longer do I eat out, have left off sodas, breads, & carbs, and sweets!!! We cook every meal here or there....we did have take out Sushi & salad a few weeks back....
