It is now January 2012 and time for new resolutions! My last resolution for last year was to reduce/remove sugar from my diet. Do you know how hard it is to NOT eat sugar? OK, removing cookies and junk food was the easy part. But everything you pick up at the grocery store has sugar in it! I became totally aware the carbohydrate addict I have become!
I started using honey and then moved on to agave as sweeteners when I needed one. This move slowly progressed into buying more organic foods in order to stay away from the sugar. Even the organic cereals have it! I'm doomed! For breakfast, I now resort to either eggs or oatmeal. It has taken me a full year to come to terms with my sugar reduction. But it can be done!
I am now in phase 2 of my diet makeover: Vegetables! I love vegetables! Is there anything better than eating them right from the garden? It's like heaven on earth. My sister told me about the "Moosewood Cookbook". Its a vegetarian cookbook with very healthy recipies! Perfect! I've decided to incorporate these recipes in my new 2012 resolution.
I started day 1 with Asparagus soup. I went to our local Earthfare market to find the most tender Asparagus I could find. The recipe was easy and simple. It didn't have any wild ingredients...basically asparagus, onions, and dill. It was the fresh dill that made this recipe yummie. I love a thick soup. And this one is not only thick and delicious...but healthy too!
