Kimmar & Brandi - sounds like you all had a wonderful Christmas.



Love and prayers to you all and I will see you when I see you.

So I just cut the broccoli up, spritz with water, toss with seasoning, and place in oven at 425 for about 15 minutes.

If you want to try a detox look into the Eat to Live detox it is 6 weeks, and I lost about 15 pounds doing that, but I put it back on when I started eating again, but I felt amazing the last 4 weeks of it, the first week was a little hard. I checked the book out from the library.

It is not vegan per say it is plant based. Vegan is a life stye and Plant based is a diet only way of life. I still wear my leather shoes, have leather purses, and have animal products in my house. Vegans do not eat honey, and honey is part of my diet. among other things...

I'll look into it. I have exactly 6 weeks until Chinese New Year. THank you.

 

[PrincessInOz]

Happy New Year, everyone!


WFDT?

I turned my Christmas turkey into a Chinese style hot and sour soup.

We are having black eyed peas, kale, and David is adding a pork chop to his.

The cookbook is not worth the $$, if you want to look for a good one look at the Happy Herbivore

[PrincessInOz]

Brilliant, Brandi. I just checked out the website. Thanks!

tonight was black eyed peas that came out so good, we ate them all

I'll stir-fry some of those snow peas, zucchini, squash and beans that my neighbour swapped me for the snow peas for DH and myself. I got a piece of steak that we will cook up for DS. I might have a little of the steak.
We'll also make a salad with that lettuce we harvested.

I'm hoping that we have a reasonable harvest this year.

Fingers crossed for you, it just makes dinner easier knowing you have stuff in the garden.

 

[PrincessInOz]

Yes. Especially if I want to try and do a detox before Chinese New Year.

I so understand that. I normally make Pork and Ginger potstickers for New Year's but have no idea what I will do this year?

You could substitute the pork with cabbage, carrots, shiitake mushrooms and spinach?

Hubby will not eat mushrooms, so would have to be another veggie, maybe the spinach, it has a lot of cabbage in it already

 

[PrincessInOz]

What about cilantro and chives? They also add green colour.
