Full of Beans! Yes I am!!

My tummy is either thanking me or telling me off, not sure which but I am going to go with it being thankful. I really could eat a bowl of pinto beans every day. Cooked with just salt, no oil or ham hock. I am back on the vegan style diet and have forsaken cheese for now. Although it has not been super healthy it is basically back on track to getting it healthier. Monday I was all set to cook creole beans and rice and thought I had the stuff to make it but when I went to cook dinner the ingredients were no where to be found....some pantry pest made off with my beans! Well it was that or I have to admit I just totally forgot that I had made it the week before and used all the ingredients, uh pantry pest took it definitely. So since I hadn't been to store I sent Bethany to taco bell, they made me a crunchy taco, no meat, no cheese, add beans. It wasn't bad. Sunday night I had made veggie soup and have been eating off that for lunch and breakfast, hey, anything goes for breakfast....don't judge. Basically for my soup I just throw cans of whatever veggies I want in it, liquid and all, some spices, and then add v-8 juice til it's covered with enough liquid to simmer. This time I cut up 3 zucchini and cooked with it to give it that thicker texture and when the zucchini is done then basically the soup is. It's quite tasty. Last night it was Thai food, gracious that stuff is good. But eating out is not healthy so I decided to cook the beans tonight with cabbage and mashed potatoes. I put too much butter in potatoes so I am going to have to cut down on that, eventually. Oh and cornbread, the old fashioned way, not too healthy but very yummy. I did accomplish breakfast this morning so I do deserve kudos for that. Bowl of oatmeal with a banana sliced in it and some raw sugar. Filled me up!  Well the problem with cooking is that I have a kitchen to clean, ick ick ick! So off to clean I go, yuck!

Oh and I have lost another .8 lbs which brings the total to 9.8 lbs , almost to 10. Slowly I go ounce by ounce.....
