Hello!

Magic I hope you don’t have Covid but if it is I hope you have a mild case. 3 weeks ago a dear friend who is 73 had it, her husband and sister got it. All had mild cases.

Brooks has had zero reaction from his Covid vaccine. He will have 2nd booster in January.

Austin - your story is amazing and yes I would love some recipe ideas. Sugar is addictive.

Mihani - 2 weeks ago we had a prep-batch day. Made and froze 3 different soups with almost all the same ingredients but different flavors and beans. Made chili from OSG, made vegetable soup from James Beard and Vegetarian curry soup. All contained onions, carrots, celery and Vegan Better than bouillon. Then added different vegetables. Have 2 more meals left. Figure after Xmas I will have another prep day and make soup.

Welcome Timindo! We have been buying the small sweet potatoes that are easy to roast. I cook about 10 at a time and we have 1 or 2 for a snack. Need to weigh them because the are small. The skin comes off easily after roasting and I give that to the dogs.

We went for a beautiful walk on the Riverwalk. 3.5 miles. Then I had a weird lunch. Fried Brussels sprouts and a grapefruit cocktail. My stomach is very upset.

Score at Tuesday a.m. for Xmas gifts. They had 2 wonderful tea brands, Harney & Sons and Tea Forte. I had bought tea cups with filters f.

Oh I forgot to mention. My dog LOVES veggies. He is front and center when I'm setting up my salads. He likes almost everything except kale and lettuce and spinach. He loves collards and carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, summer squash, beets, green beans, sweet potato. I don't let him have much of the cruciferous though... makes him gassy and he sleeps in the bed! LOL

Oh crap Magic! I am so sorry to hear that. Glad you are planning to continue taking good care of yourself. What a way to spend Christmas. *hugs* and positive vibes your way for a speedy recovery.

Another busy day! I think it will only be me and my boss in the office tomorrow but we'll close it up early. I am going to take the time from when we close up tomorrow through Saturday OFF. I am not even going to check emails. Then back to the real world on Sunday and get some work done and get ready for the crazy last week of the year. I will spend Saturday relaxing, reading, catching up laundry and housework.

Hope you all have a great Christmas Day. I appreciate the support and inspiration from all of you all year long!

I ordered Emily Boller's book and started reading it last night. It's good so far. Emily was featured in Dr. F's book Eat to Live. She lost 100 pounds over the course of a year and has maintained her nutritarian lifestyle while dealing with a lot of stress and traumatic events in her life.

Magic, I hope you are doing okay.

Hi Magic, Dr. Van Dyken had a video not long ago about regaining sense of smell using essential oils...

I am so glad to hear you are feeling better!

Got a late start today. Got up early as always but read for a while and then napped. Got all the floors swept and mopped and dusted the furniture, tidied up the kitchen and cleaned bathrooms. Getting ready to start a pot of lentil soup and throw some veggies through the shredder blade in the food processor for salads since my salad prepper friend is taking a week off. I got several boxes of spring mix and power greens. Already made unhoney mustard dressing. Also going to make balsamic roasted mushrooms and baked tofu. So happy I'm actually feeling a bit of enthusiasm to cook today.

I have really enjoyed taking an intentional day off not to worry about work. I haven't even heard from my boss today! Probably shouldn't say that... it will probably cause the texts to start! LOL

My lentil soup is not a recipe it's just something I have developed over time. I saute onion and garlic, add diced carrot, celery and potato. Then I add the lentils and veggie broth, spices (usually cumin, coriander, thyme) plus the magic ingredient, a bit of vegan liquid smoke to give it that smoky flavor. Soooo good. Oh, and edited to add, I throw in kale or baby spinach or power greens to wilt in at the end.

I watch a lot of high carb Hannah maximum weight loss YouTubes

Get a lot of ideas from her and also a lot of motivation I like her simple style she’s very low-key

Not over produced!

YES! I watch her as well as Hungry Vegan Momma and Plantiful Kikki!

Sweet Peas and Saffron is not 100% vegan but she has a pretty extensive list of vegan meal prep recipes. Many lunch ideas that make 4 lunches and will be safe in the fridge all week. Go to her site and just search for vegan. www.sweetpeasandsaffron.com
Edited: posted this before seeing your posts about not feeling well. Hope you get your results back soon, but it sounds pretty convincing you may have it. My husband had it in March, but was pretty much 'dismissed' by the dr @ the urgent care. He was tired and had a 100.6 fever. A day or so later after seeing the dr he lost his taste and smell. We found out later the friend he had dinner with prior to all this had same symptoms at the same time. I never had any symptoms but we both tested positive for the antibodies in May (as did his dinner friend). Take care of yourself no matter what!

Happy New Year’s Eve ! 🥳🎉🥳🎉🥳🎉

Doing great...back to work tomorrow...
