I noticed a huge difference in my day when I can get a solid balenced meal in. 

Most of the time I stress my self out with all the other things I am doing that I am confinced I have no time to cook anything other then noodles! which don't get me wrong I love noodles. But I do feel better and more relaxed when I can eat a balanced centered around whole unpolished grain, with a lot of vegetable dishes to go with it.

Being a vegan and vegetarian the question I get asked a lot is where does my protein come from? So here is attempt putting sharing some information about it.

 Here I am in Asheville visiting family and quiteing down my life. And cooking! During the course of caring for my father I lost all my inspiration to cook. there was no time or energy to do much of it anyway. my family and friends were a big help. It took a long while to have real interest for it again. 

and to be real, when that goes eating good food gets harder as well. when all the emotion are in the air. seems way easier to just eat junk food and nothing else. Is like the junk feeds the dramatic side to the feelings...I don't know.

Anyway. I am trying to start my life up again. and this blog is apart of that! 

It is so wonderful and inspiring to connect with like minded people about delicous food!

so thank you all.
