The Adventure...weeks 13 and 14

Spring is slowly coming to the Fingerlakes region of NY. I enjoyed going outdoors this afternoon in the cool but springy air to rake abit in my lawn. I also saw the first green sprout in my hotbed! Yay! Looking forward to putting some kale out in my garden later on this week, Lord willing.

My foods have been varied and enjoyable. I'm blessed to feel well enough to try new recipes and to just be up and about. Here's what I've been eating, but by far not all of it because I forget to take pictures. Yes, I eat cookies at times. Yes, I eat popcorn. I forget to take pictures of that stuff. I promise I'm keeping it low :) and trying my best to eat mostly cell-nourishing foods, altho my flesh gravitates towards eating the 'junk'.

I took this food to our potluck lunch at church on Sunday:
garden salad, 'cheesy' potatoes, and chickpea loaf. The potatoes
got rave reviews from my husband, children and friends who
have Mennonite tastebuds. I'd say that was an accomplishment,
considering this dish is completely vegan, and very creamy
without the use of non dairy cheeses, oil or anything unhealthy.

what a delicious and eye-appealing blessing is a simple fruit medley.

a totally awesome spinach and strawberry salad

those 'cheesy' potatoes with green beans

An Italian chopped salad. SOOO good!

Minestrone with a dollop of plant-only ranch

Chicken zoodle stir fry in the which I removed the chicken for me

A veggie sub on the way to visit friends in a neighboring state

My friend Melanie was so sweet to serve all plant foods
when I overnited at her house: chickpea loaf, strawberry/spinach
salad and roasted potatoes.

what a special treat to be served beet
and carrot juice, freshly pressed.
Thank you, Melanie!

I'm having a mental block on what this is. Looks like some
Italian pasta dish or something...

a chopped garden salad and some cheesy broccoli and tater tots.
That cheez sauce is really my craving these days.

I leave you with some nutritional inspiration:

I truly believe that we owe it to the Creator of life to 

treat our bodies as His temple and to say 

"thank you" every day to Him by eating 

foods that He created to sustain our lives.

Happy spring to all!
