Crispy "Chicken" Salad

Yesterday I took Clint to Sunharvest for the first time, and we took our time exploring. He has been very supportive of my new "diet". We picked up some yummy organics and some bancha green tea. We are on a pretty tight budget right now, but we found some good deals.

Today I made a salad with the organic lettuce I got there yesterday (only 1.19 for a bunch!), sweet grape tomatoes, baby carrots, cut up Boca Original Chik'n meatless pattie (made with non-gmo soy!), and topped with Bianna's Poppyseed dressing. It was super yummy!

Last week I was still eating cheese and learning to cook long grain brown rice. I plan to invest in a rice cooker. I topped my rice with the Progresso Tomato Soup I had in the cabinet and it was pretty yummy. This week begins my non-dairy week...wish me luck.

I hope to be able to start making actual recipes soon.

What is your fav veggie recipe?

Russian Princesses Wear Snuggies

Yesterday I won a $50 gift card at work, so I got to buy some clothes.

My boss bought me a Hannah Montana cupcake. It was delicious and turned my mouth and tongue blue.

I've been terrible and drank coffee the past 2 days.

I have 3 episodes of the new season of Merlin waiting for me to watch them.

I received a belated birthday card with a check in it.

Tomorrow the husband and I are off together!

Going meatless is easier than giving up dairy...I like cheese!

I wore my new vintage velvety fur coat and was told I looked like a Russian princess.

I got Avery's birthday present, it's pink and glittery.

I feel like watching Anastasia.

I'm ready for summer so I can wear gladiator sandals and ankle boots with my jorts b/c my husband hates it...muhahaha.

I'm on the hunt for the most amazing green tea in the universe. Let me know if you find it.

I had to pause my tamagotchi because it was going insane, for real.

I'm pretty sure my husband is a hippie, because he hates wearing deodorant.

I took an incriminating picture of him at the computer wearing MY hello kitty snuggie. I'll probably post it soon....

It's never boring at the Miller house...

Taco Tuesday: I Want A Cupcake! Or Pocky!

I'm trying to be healthier, I think everyone is this time of the year. I've been trying to cut back on the sweets. I probably have the biggest sweet tooth around. My diet usually consists of cupcakes, pocky, coffee, and red bull...so I'm changing that up. This morning I'm going to bake some organic pumpkin bread instead of cupcakes....i'm soo hungry!

My hair is still super dark! I'm kinda liking it, but mostly wishing is was blonde again. Next time I post that I want dark hair everyone holla don't do it!

So one of my goals for this year is to go Veg again. Yesterday I finished reading 'The Kind Diet', by Alicia Silverstone. So I've decided to give up meat and coffee starting today, and then dairy as soon as I use up the milk I have in the fridge (no use wasting money or food). Clint isn't doing this with me, even after I talked about all the animal cruelty and stuff to him. His family are ranchers, and he knows that the cows on his ranch aren't treated like the factory farms. I told him he didn't have to do this with me, and that I was just trying to be a healthier me. He is stoked that I'm giving up coffee, he's been trying to get me to let it go for years. I didn't realize how bad it was for you....it's going to be hard. I'll post updates and recipes on here as I go. I already eat a lot of vegetarian meals, but I plan to take it a step further. I plan to read Eating Animals by jonathan safron foer next. I bought it about a year ago....What are your takes on going Veg?

Happy Taco Tuesday!

What are you up to?
