Well, howdy! I wasn’t sure I’d ever get back to blogging here again. I just went through all of the comments that people have left on various posts over the past several years and I apologize to those whose comments I missed. It was lovely to read your thoughts, and it reminded me that we often don’t realize how we may be impacting others. I had a similar thought last fall when a Lifetime menu planning subscriber called me out of the blue just to tell me how my recipes have impacted her over the years, helping her to lose weight and eat healthier.
Plant-based Meals, Fruit and Veggie Salads and Homemade Lemon Tahini Salad Dressing
Something somewhat miraculous has happened in my life. After avoiding almost all fruit for two years and starchy and sweet veggies for over nine years, I am eating them again. My food choices had become increasing grim and unappetizing last year where I found myself eating the same limited foods each week: salmon, chicken, turkey, some beef, non-starchy veggies including spinach, broccoli, cauliflower, etc, some cheese, eggs, coconut, nuts, chia seeds…not sure what else. I basically was bored with food and tired of eating because life in the land of food had become so pathetically unpleasing to the eye as well as the palette.
How I started this journey ten years ago when I embarked upon the GAPS diet and how I ended up where I am today eating a (mostly) plant-based diet is quite a long story and I’m still working on writing about about this journey. So in the meantime, I will share what is nourishing and filling me up these days.
