Cleanse
Today I am starting a 21-day cleanse, as described in the book Quantum Wellness by Kathy Freston. Basically this means:
a) NO meat products of any kind.
b) NO alcohol
c) NO caffeine
d) NO sugar
e) NO gluten
Excerpt from an article written by Kathy Freston:
"Doing the cleanse delivers one to a fresh start. It's like a vacation, a reprieve, from our old and tired ways. It is an opportunity to kick start a momentum of consciousness and healing. We can see what it feels like to live on a plant-based diet for 21 days. And if we like what we feel, we can let the momentum we've started deliver us to a whole new level of living. Or it can just be a simple detox, a way to let your body rid itself of all the stored up junk it has had to process throughout the years. I'm not saying it's easy...but it's worth it."
The one problem I am having is that while her Cleanse chapter outlines NOT eating gluten, the back of the book provides many recipes that DO have gluten-containing ingredients. I know when Oprah did this cleanse (heh), she avoided gluten.
I think I will just go all-out and try to avoid it, as well.

Oh Dear!
It's been entirely too long since I've updated this blog with any deliciousness. Now, that doesn't mean that I am no longer a veggie-eating-newb. Rather, my desire to cook recently has been waning. I blame the summer heat and a lack of A.C. in my house. On top of that, my trusty camera is broken. I mean...it takes pictures well enough but the batteries die after every use. I'm not sure what the issue is but I currently have my sights set on an amazing camera. I hope to obtain it in the near future and then the delicious pictures shall continue. It's a shame too, because I have made yummy treats sporadically.
It's been three months since I went vegetarian and I still feel amazing. What I love most is days like today when I stop over at Whole Foods to get some lunch, and my vegan lunch is so deliciously amazing, I wonder how anyone could miss eating meat.
I hope to update more soon, along with some new recipes for low-calorie veggie food.
