USA Today Steams my Beans. 1/4/12

Did you see the USA Today? Big article about beans - their fiber, health benefits, etc. and making a new years rez to eat them 3+ times/week-all of the reasons for what I'm doing. Pretty cool.

I went to a spin class after work with my assistant. My managers and I had bought him a gift certificate for Xmas and I offered to go with him his first time. It was fun, but like my own bike and profiles better. She was good for a new instructor, but I quickly find myself getting very critical. I was hoping to pick up some new tips ..no luck, oh well. Kevin really liked it and I'm glad.

Got home took a quick shower and ate leftover delicious soup that the husband made on Monday. Soooooooo good. Full of greens, other veggies and of course-beans.

New Years Eve 12/31/2011

Yes, I ate beans last night. It was a lentil goop as side dish with an Indian cauliflower dish.

Sissy Soulfood? 12/27/2011

So I have this new years rez....eat beans every day. And my husband thinks I should blog about it...even though he says 99% of blogs are never read. the new year is still a few days away but why wait?

My husband gave me this cookbook for Christmas - Vegan Soul Kitchen by Bryant Terry. That's why today's blog is called Sissy Soulfood. Soulfood without meat? Are you kidding?

I asked him to pick out a recipe and he did- since I'm semi-off of work today.

I made Red Beans and Brown Rice with Red Wine-Simmered Seitan. (I cheated and used canned beans). It was really good. Even my meatatarian son liked it.

So that's it, short and sweet, eating healthy and yummy.
