Hello Gang!
It's been a long time! My old laptop died right around Thanksgiving last year and I bought a new one a few weeks later, in the midst of Christmas Madness. Then I went on vacation mid-January. Now it's nearly March and I'm ready to start posting once more. And I've gone vegetarian, temporarily!
It's the season of Lent and after much thought, I decided to give up meat (including seafood) for Lent. I like meat, a lot. A whole lot. So it's a real sacrifice. It's also decidedly Old School. I think that after a while, it will become easy. At this point, I'm more worried about forgetting my Lenten promise and eating meat when I'm eating out! Anyway, Lent started a few days ago and so far, so good!
I've been looking up vegetarian recipes around Allrecipes.com and EatingWell.com. Some sound very exciting, like "Sweet Potato and Red Pepper Pasta." Don't you agree? I can't wait to try it and share it with you! I was surprised to see a lot of vegetarian recipes that are actually quite high in fat and/or sodium content. "Vegetarian" just sounds so healthy, doesn't it? Then again, macaroni and cheese is a meatless dish, so it's all about paying attention to the nutrition content of the dish, just like any other way of eating.
I am making an African soup and a black beans and rice dish this weekend. I'll share those two with you tomorrow.
It's good to be back!
Cheers,
Kim
