Fresh from the Garden!

I love summer time for the fresh food/veggies it brings!!! I could probably be a vegeterian but living with Matt would make that nearly impossible as he loves some meat. Most nights when Matt is traveling I make very simple dinners since its just me,tonight is one of those nights. Matt's gone so I can eat veggies for dinner. Our garden is, well... unpredictable. I guess I don't know enough about gardening as some things are living fine others are flat out dead and I dont know why. I did however get some good stuff out of it which I'm having as part of dinner toninght.

I have become alot more aware and much more passionate about the food that I eat (Matt is a work in progress but we are getting there). For the most part we have cut out processed food all together- its the devil! Now, its not like I dont still eat it from time to time, I do! But I stopped buying processed foods and have noticed a huge difference. I have lost weight and my  health in general is better (i'll spare the details) but trust me, its makes a big difference. We buy organic when possible/feasible along with free range or grass fed meats. I started reading more and more books about food and the more educated I became about what we put in our bodies and where it comes from, I totally changed my outlook on food. After reading this book, it really made me rethink the meats that I eat! I could go on and on about food and what people eat, but I'll spare you for now. Alright, back to my plate of veggies....
