So, I have to admit that I ate some chicken nuggets like 2 days ago.. lol. I failed and ever since then I have been sick to my stomach! It sucks. Anyways so today I think I might take Marley to the dog park or go to the gym with Kris. I love my family! My life is absolutly perfect. I am so happy for that!!!! Marley is huge now too.. lol. He weighs like 100 pounds. It's kind of insane to be honest. Anyways I hope that everyone out there is doing good and that my veggie recipes helped some of you out.. I know you were asking for them :D. Anyways have a good one. :D

Vegetarian Recipes
Hello friends!!! I just thought I would write a few things down on food ideas!! Like what I have been eating and what vegetarians could eat. Just a few ideas.
* With Vegetarian Lasagna you have two options that I know of. Both are really good! But you just make your regular lasagna recipe but replace the meat with veggies. I personally would either buy a eggplant and cut it thinly and sautee it in a little bit of oil and salt and pepper and put it where you would normally put the meat. Or I would cut up broccoli florets, cauliflower, squash and zuccini and sautee it also in some extra virgin olive oil. You can add anything to these recipes and be creative. Add whatever veggies YOU like or have. :)
*Second I really really like rice lol so an AMAZING and easy easy recipe is just to make sticky rice (or regular) and then sautee some mushrooms up in some butter and a little bit of garlic salt. Then just pile on your mushrooms on top of your rice and add some soy sauce to taste.
- I found that if you buy the mushrooms that are whole and not already chopped up you actually get a lot more mushrooms. Kind of crazy.
* The easiest thing I have found to eat so far though is just veggie burgers from the frozen section at the store!! lol. Seriously they are so good. I have tried garden burgers and boca burgers. Both meatless. They are amazing!! Seriously! So I just cook them in a frying pan on my stove and then add either sauteed mushrooms or sliced avocadoes to it and make a regular hamburger out of it. It's awesome!!
I have a few more recipes that I will find and add later! I hope you enjoy my recipes and I hope they help!!! Peace and love.

Life is Better :)
I do have to say that lately life has been amazing!!! For a little while there I was stuck in a rut with bad friends, a bad envoirnment and just nothing positive to work with. Now my life is opening up before my eyes. I love it! I am moving forward with my life and my education. Everything is better. Life is better. I am just so happy to have good friends now, good relationships with my family and good relationship with my body. I know that sounds weird but my body is in tip top condition now and I am so thankful for that! Anyways so I still haven't tried to make that vegetarian lasagna. Maybe tonight is the lucky night? haha. We are kind of broke at the moment so maybe I will stick with my veggie burgers for now. Anyways I am really wanting to do some crafts! I want to buy a way cute and inexpensive jar and then use scrapbook stickers or paint on it "treasures" and THEN you can tie a cute polka dot bow around the top and set it on your dryer.. this is were all those found "treasures" go that you find in your husbands pants when you go to wash them. Or your favorite chapstick that you (now will not) accidentally wash! It just dresses up your laundry room and is a great idea!!! I don't know about you but I have washed my own chapstick several times on accident and also I have washed money or my keys, but my favorite (uck) is when I accidentally wash my husbands cigarettes in his pants. Sick!! Anyways that is a great craft idea right? I am excited to try it!!!

Hello blog friends!!! I am sorry to say I didn't even write on my blog yesterday! I have no idea what I was thinking!! I think this is mostly for me though.. ha ha. I just really like to write the thoughts in my head. It's okay if I have no viewers besides my amazing brother!!!! Oh and I have some bad news to share.. My dog (Marley) ate my CONTACTS AND THE CASE today. How amazingly absurd!! I hate it. He ate my glasses like 5 months ago and now my contacts and the case. Arg! I have to go to Walgreens and by a new case I guess. At least the actually contacts were disposable right? ha ha. Anyways so yesterday I was watching the food network and I come across the most amazing recipes that are vegetarian!! Woo hoo. One was a veggie burger and the other was a vegetarian lasagna!!! They both looked amazing! The funny thing is that I had no idea how to make a veggie burger.. I have been buying like garden burgers and stuff ya know? ha ha. But yeah it was mostly like black beans crushed, some bread crumbs, worshesursire (sp?) sauce and some hot sauce. There were some other ingredients ha ha but I am hoping the recipes will be online!! The lasagna looked so amazing though! The guy sauteed some broccoli, cauliflower, zuccini and summer squash in a frying pan. He made like a regular lasagna but just replaced the meat with this amazing medley of veggies!!! Ahh I am making myself hungry and it's only 11:04am. Not quite time for lunch. lol. Anyways It would be awesome if I got some responses on my blog and some questions or even recipes! I would love to share vegetarian recipes!!! Hit me up ya all

Day nombre dos
Hello Blog Spot! Today is January 2nd.. I still have not ate any meat lol. I honestly don't think I can ever do it again! It's kind of morbid. I should have never read that book.. the book is called Skinny B****. Yeah weird name for a book but it's true. That's what it's called. It's sad though to know what is really going on with our food. Yikes. I honestly think that our foods are what is causing so much sickness or causing cancers. I have heard that supposedly chocolate causes cancer and a bra can cause cancer?? I think not.. I think it's the pesticides, steroids and anitbiotics in our meat and foods. But of course the government or USDA can't say that our foods are what is making us sick. It will make them look bad. Uck.. it makes me sick. I can honestly say though that since I have not been eating meat I feel great!!! I haven't had a headache in I don't know how long (which I usually get them every day). I feel absolutly great and I have lost like 4 pounds. haha. Anyways I will keep working on being a vegetarian and get some amazing recipes and share with you guys that share the same truth with me! Love you all.. and don't forget to wrote me a post!!!!

So it's 11:17pm and I can't stop thinking about what else to write in my blog to make it interesting for people to read. Hmm.. maybe I should ask for questions from people and then I can respond to them :). I have no idea who would even read my blog though. Ahh well we will see! Anyways I should probably go to sleep knowing that I have to work tomorrow and it's pretty late. By the way I tried the veggie burger tonight from Burger King.. yum!! It was pretty good. :). Anyways give me ideas okay?? Someone....????
My New Years Resolution
So I just recently watched the movie Julie and Julia.. have you seen it? It rocks and I love it.. I have been trying to think of a reason why I need a blog!! I am recently a vegetarian so I could write about that or I could write about my paintings.. I do love to paint. Or I could write about the books I read and get ideas from you guys on books to read. Mostly though I do LOVE to cook! I could write a blog on things I cook (especially now I am cooking vegetarian) it is kind of challenging. I don't want to copy Julie and Julia too much though... We will see how this goes!!!
p.s. If you haven't seen Julie and Julia, watch it!!! I loved it..
