How is it going? So, as some of you know I am on a sort of 'cleanse', a detox of sorts. My diet consists of vegetables, vegetables and more vegetables. Oh, and the odd meal with Salmon. I actually quit enjoy it. It's very stretching for me in the fact that I have to actually prepare food. I can't just grab something from my cupboard (which is how I've been living for a long time now). I've been taking some of the recipes and making dishes of my own. I made a really good dish last night consisting of: broccoli, yellow peppers, onion, green beans, carrots, zucchini a little bit of fresh oregano and thyme, and then alfalfa sprouts to top it off. I put a little bit of water in a deep frying pan, and covered them for about 10 minutes, drained the water, added organic soya sauce, fried them for a bit in that, and then put them in a bowl with the alfalfa sprouts. It was delish!
I have two favourite snacks/ lunch meals. One: red cabbage leaves, with organic Dijon mustard on them, topped off with goat cheese. Roll 'em up and nom nom nom. Yum! Two: sliced tomatoes, with oregano, thyme and goat cheese.
Who knew this little guy could produce such yummy food!I'm continually surprised by the foods that I'm enjoying, and the things I start craving! I am definitely feeling great, my body never feels sick after I eat, like I have felt my entire life. And I'm losing weight which is always positive. Overall, it's been a really great improvement in my lifestyle.
Cheers to feeling healthy,

I wanted you to know, I just stood and did the slow clap for you.
It's one thing to *hear* how much better it feels to eat good/real food (the whole process involved adds to the meal too, I think), it's another to actually experience it. I'm proud of you!!
P.S. If you find some good recipes, please share.
Yay kiki!! Yeah, it's crazy, because sometimes I feel whiney like ugh I don't want to prepare anything, but then when I sit back and think about how I actually FEEL after I eat, it's great. Actually, Can I get that zuchini pizza recipe from you? And yeah, I will definatly share recipes!
You should read a book called "In Defence of Food". It's pretty quick, and it talks about that, about making your own food and all that. It's a good one.
The website for that recipe is: http://www.diabetesdaily.com/recipes/entrees/zucchini_crust_pizza/
I've always used a 12" pan, but it makes the crust really thin (well, you tried it, so you know). Maybe if you used the 10" pan they say, or a springform pan (like the second-to-last comment mentions), it might come out a stronger crust.
