Hi Veggie Lovers,

Today's dinner everything organic

simple inventing a combination of things
no recipe

red onions, manzanilla olives, garlic, grapes,
black beans, broccoli sauteed in coconut oil
crushed/blended tomatoes

we'll see how this combination turns out.

very glad I haven't invited anyone to dinner
tonight

with green thoughts, Greco

I have been mostly vegan this summer. For health reasons. I still haven't increased the number of vegetables I eat a day as much as I need to. I still eat too much processed food and way too many carbs.

Twice I have eaten meat and a few times dairy. The meat is less of a temptation than the dairy.

I do not feel tons better. I recently had an allergic reaction to something. I actually think it was caffeine. I also went off caffeine for the most part this summer. Anyway. I am not sure it's working out. I imagine I would be doing a lot better if I were eating many more green things and fewer carbs. But I haven't been able to make that happen.

Hi Martina,

Sounds to me like your taking the steps you need to get where you want to go. Getting off caffeine for example is an incredible step in lessening the toxic load on your kidneys, way to go for getting off it as much as you can.

What I did last year was simply add green smoothies to what I already was eating. At that time I was eating meat, some cheese(I'm allergic to dairy), and rice mostly. So I added the green smoothies and they made me less hungry for carbs, and after watching "Earthlings" I quit eating meat altogether.

So, take yourself off the hook and continue to do what your doing. It sounds to me that your on your way to healthy living one step at a time.

Hope this helps.

Hi kittygrrl, and veggie lovers,

Actually, it was delicious...I was really surprised because of the addition of the red grapes...thought the combining of fruit and pasta was not going to be a good idea...well, it was so my inventions carry on. Next time I will invite someone, or more then one friend for this dinner.
