Couscous stirfry?

Lately I have been just throwing together what ever is in the fridge and making some type of meal. This is sauteed Bok Choy, Mushrooms, Onion, Bean Sprouts in a tbsp of olive oil, couple cloves of garlic and black pepper. Then I just put the couscous in the pan just long enough to warm it up. I really enjoy it, but some may find it boring.

Falafel Burger with sauteed asparagus and mushrooms


I didn't make the falafel from scratch, I just got the mix where I just had to add water. It make quite a bit, 3 burgers, and 1 filled me up, but I will have lunch for tomorrow.

Burger night!


I LOVE this meal. These sweet potato fries are perfection! Cut them up, put a little bit of olive oil in the bowl, few cloves of garlic and some oregano, stir and bake for 45 minutes at 405 F. I had a vegan burger with soy cheese on toasted bread with all the typical burger toppings.

Lunch for Cole and I


I have an Avocado, Cucumber and rice in a Nori wrap. It was pretty tastey, I am not a sushi maker, but it had the ingredients and the wrap. I quite enjoyed it. Cole had Veggie Nuggets with Brown rice and cucumber slices. He wasn't to sure about the nuggets but had 2 of them.

Oat bran muffins with Blueberries and raspberries


These are pretty good, Cole loves to have them for breakfast.

Changes I have noticed

Well, it has been over a month since my decision to eliminate meat, and all dairy products. I feel great, have a lot of energy. I have lost 24lbs, which makes me very happy. I still have a long ways to go, but I don't feel defeted, or that it is impossible. This is not like any diet I have tried, it is easy. I don't know how to explain it, but I don't crave anything, I don't care to have pizza or a cookie. I am completely focused.

I have noticed that my eczema is pretty much completely gone. I don't have to use any concealer under my eyes as there is never dark skin there. I noticed the other day after the shower that I haven't had to clean wax out of my ears. But the change I have noticed is my energy, my body needs 7 hrs of sleep, and absolutely no more. I wake up 7 hrs after I went to bed, and feel perfectly refreshed. I couldn't sleep in if I tried.

Soft rice porridge


I think I may have this for breaky every day! I had left over rice so I cooked it again to make it really soft, I cooked it with some raisins then strained it and added a tsp of Maple syrup, it was really good. I also made some vegan sausages that were pretty good.
