[vegan] day...whatever
Haven’t been keeping up with posting my meals, but I assure you, I am still eating vegan. Plus, I have basically the same thing for breakfast and lunch everyday. Didn’t want to bore you any more than I already do.

Random Thought
With all the information now available to us laymen on the internet, there’s just as much misinformation available as well. Google can be your friend, but it can also make you look like a huge idiot. Understand what you’re looking at before sharing it with the world.

[Vegan] Day 3
After a night of Kovi waking up multiple times, I was too tired to photograph my oatmeal with blueberries and strawberries this morning. And tonight is Shabbat so I won’t be able to take a picture of the French bread (minus the egg wash - trust me, it’s unnecessary), roasted yellow pepper and corn bisque (from Veganomicon) and fudgy wudgy blueberry brownies (from Veganomicon). Because...

Going #vegan For The Month Of February
The title pretty much says it all. For the month of February, we will be 100% vegan. You’ll be surprised to know that this wasn’t my idea. It was Corey’s. Yes, really. Corey suggested going vegan for a month. I can’t say that I hadn’t thought about this myself, but I never thought Corey would agree to it. Little did I know, he was thinking the same thing! (In regard...

My Gardening Plans This Year
This will be my first year with a real - as in, not on a balcony - garden. I plan on going all out. I found this site that explains when to start planting, etc in your area and looked through that to get an idea of what I could plant without driving myself crazy. I didn’t want to be planting everything at the same time and this site really helped me to figure out a schedule. Hopefully...

A Goal.
I want to be able to do 10 standard - as in toes, not knees on the ground - push-ups in a row by the end of February. As of right now I can do half a push-up. That means I can get into the push-up position and go half-way down. Just wanted to put this goal out there so I’d be sure to do it.

What's for Dinner? [01.08-01.21]
Haven’t done one of these in a while. Got some cookbooks from the library and have been making a lot of delicious food using their recipes. Figured I’d share what I’ve been making the past two weeks. [Sun] Corey cooked some taco “meat” (fake ground meat plus beans with taco seasoning) [Mon] Rice and beans and a homemade salsa (totally made up recipes… came out...

Oh Great. It's One of *Those* Posts.
I don’t understand it, but every year I get sucked into the whole “new years resolutions” thing. Maybe it’s because so many of my online friends talk about it or maybe it’s because I really, really like making lists. What ever the reason is, here are my goals for 2012. [1] Get to my goal weight. Well, get within 10lbs of my goal weight. As I’ve said for the...

Three Years Old
It’s hard for me to believe that you’re three years old. You were just a baby. Helpless, crying when you wanted your bottle or when you were tired or when a stranger would make eye contact with you. But now, you’re a boy.  I still remember visiting you in the NICU. Wanting to take you home the day I got discharged and not being allowed to. Crying that whole Shabbat because I...

Switching Things Up A Bit
Homeschooling has been going great. Asher and I have been having a lot of fun. Asher has been learning a lot. And I even found a way to include Kovi! [Pictures of what we done since my last post about homeschooling will be after my little “announcement” here.] I have been reading this book  and I really like it. The things that the author says make sense to me and it’s basically...

50 lbs of Sugar
edwardspoonhands: According to the New York Times, the average American drinks 50 gallons of soda per year. That’s 189 liters. A liter of soda has 129 grams of sugar.  189 liters * 129 g/l = 24400 g, or 24.4 kg or, yes, roughly 50 lbs of sugar per year…JUST FROM SODA…GAHHH!!!! If you’re wondering, that’s 83,000 calories of soda per year. I think maybe I’ve solved the peculiar mystery of the...

Sh-sh-sh-shrinking!
What’s more important?: Fulfilling your craving or getting to your goal weight? That’s what I have been asking myself every day - sometimes several times a day - for the past four weeks. I started a diet with several members of my family and I am finally losing some of the weight I gained with Kovi. In 4 weeks I have lost over 6 pounds.  I feel like I can do it. I can really get to my...
