The Adventure...weeks 18 and 19


I've been eating lots of nachos!

toasted "British" muffins with fruit-juice sweetened
raspberry jam are 'the bomb' mid morning these days

pasta salad with some pesto

my darling and I on a recent double date with friends.
I am losing inches and have lost and kept off 10 lb in 18 weeks.
That's saying alot for a woman who had a hard time losing weight
up until now!

The Farmer shared a strawberry/mango/pomegranate smoothie with me
one hot afternoon in between his field jobs

more nachos

fresh pico de gallo with cilantro from my garden

A tailgate supper in the field with my Farmer.
Taco salad hit the spot fair and square

fresh pineapple. So good!

plant strong spaghetti!

i tried my hand at making overnite oats. I don't eat them but my Farmer
and some of his loyal subjects like them and it's a very handy breakfast
to have in the refrigerator for busy mornings.

My sweet Kristina made us veggie kabobs one night over a camp fire
in the back yard.


nachos. I can never have enough of these. Right now the
fireside guacamole from Costco is my favorite.

tofu based chocolate pudding with strawberries and shredded coconut

yogurt lemon blueberry bread was tops!

caprese salad with Kite Hill almond cheese that I was hoarding in
the freezer for such a time as this

caprese salad, oven fries, and baked beans

date-sweetened chocolate energy balls


plant strong bbq chickpea gyro with tatziki sauce. mmm mmm mmm

a strawberry/pomegranate/yogurt smoothie

to life, and health and happiness in Jesus...
in memory of many glasses of kombucha shared with
Lamar, Kristina and I in the evenings

yes, I topped my plant only casserole with my salad

for another wonderful smoothie

tofu and tomato sandwiches. YUM!

can't forget those  raw veggies!
