Potluck Success

Monday, 12 January 2009

Today we hosted a vegan potluck, and had a great turnout. So, it was nice to meet some new people, as well as, have a variety of food to enjoy. Unfortunately, I was so preoccupied with my kids, that by the time I ate my salad, and a smoothie, I was pretty full, and didn’t get a chance to sample everything. But, I always enjoy sharing recipes and seeing what it is others enjoy making. So, that was fun.

I’m really finding the “green” smoothies we’re making with the VitaMix to be a great way to get more greens and have a filling meal quickly. So, I will try to get more creative with those, using lots of the fruits and veggies we get from our weekly produce co-op.

Tomorrow I’m going to start keeping a food journal again; just kind of as a delineation in my efforts to improve some of my digestive issues, and to work towards losing ten pounds or so, however long that takes. So, I’m going to try to make it a photo journal, so I’m hoping that the thought of taking a picture of everything I eat will cause me to slow down a bit and ponder my choices more. It may be challenging to always have a camera on hand when eating, but I'll try to get creative!
