One benefit of my new clean eating lifestyle, is that I am having a lot of fun cooking everynight, something I haven't felt in quite a long time. I feel my inner Rachael Ray manifesting herself each night, as I'm chopping my fresh vegetables and herbs and coming up with yet another dinner with higher nutritional value, experimenting with new grains and getting rid of all the stuff that did nothing for my body. Tonight, I did a rolled up Flank Steak, stuffed with spinach and pine nuts and served with a chopped greek salad. Loved it, and my Edwin now can't wait to see what's on the menu for the evening. Plus, it's causing me to do much more pre-planning. I have to say, it's given a lot of vitality to a part of my life, that seemed stale, old and tedious. so I'm pretty thankful. Plus, I've now lost 14 pounds, with a very minimal effort. I'm hope, hope, hoping, I can keep it up. It's hard to let go of the past, but I'm trying my hardest, and with each days success, I'm feeling I really might be able to make a life long transition.
Looks AWESOME! Share the recipe please, is that from the mags. I bought the book (recharged version) plus 2 cookbooks. Unfortunately they didn't have the family one but so far the kids are eating everything I am making. I love the idea of setting up great habits for their lives. This may kind of silly but the idea of eating food as God made for us when I am cooking I find my mind constantly drifting to him and thinking that eating this way is almost a praise to him because we are eating only things he created! My heart is brought to a state of worship while I am cooking and you know I already immensely enjoyed it before. What did you use for salad dressing? Miss you, wish I could see you because I have to work the whole weekend. LL
