We just got back from a trip to Las Vegas (fabulous get-away that was better than expected on so many levels! Unfortunately, there won't be a picture of me standing next to a slot machine flashing "jackpot winner" posted. Sigh.) However, I feel like I'm totally off track here. I was getting on a roll with the whole vegan thing and now I'm just going off in a zillion different directions.
While on the plane I read Dr. Esselstyn's Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease which has me thinking that not only do I need to switch to a vegan diet, put also a fat-free diet as well. I also read through some material by Dr. Ornish and Dr. Barnard and quite honestly, I'm wondering what direction I should be taking.
And I just don't seem to be able to get my whole meal-plan-of-attack in place. It's hard to plan and cook for two people who are eating differently. I've got to get a handle on that.
We've had all sorts of bumps in the road I guess and I just feel like I'm a little discombobulated. (Yes, that's really a word. One I use a lot unfortunately!)
I've been going through cookbooks and trying to pull out recipes that will work for me on a couple different levels (like hummus -- I'm trying to find enough different ways to use it that I will actually finish a batch of it before it goes bad without getting sick of it or totally overeating.) There are just so many questions I need answers to -- what can I make and freeze? What ingredients am I lacking to make various recipes? What are acceptable substitutions that I can use so I'm not running to the store every day? What do I like and what can I (should I) omit from recipes so I will actually like the end result?
I don't want to get bogged down with details (but I am) and have this totally throw me off course.
Sigh. All I know is at the moment, my tummy is grumbling. I'm off to make a Brown Rice Breakfast (of some sort) since I had the foresight to make some rice up yesterday so I'd be ready to go this morning!
