This isn’t a foodie blog, but I just want to do a quick update for those interested: I did a guest post this weekend on my friend Meghan’s plant-based living blog. It has a yummy Curried Veggie recipe and some pictures of my kids chowing down. You can find it here.

As someone who’s spent most of her life in the “Plus Sized” section of the world, I am not exactly the expert on healthy eating habits. But I get a little better all the time, especially as I try to help my boys not to have the same struggles that I’ve had. I don’t obsess about calories, pounds or size anymore. I’ve decided I’m too old for that crap. I like myself the way I am, and more importantly, I accept myself for who I am. I don’t beat myself up for my imperfections and mistakes, in any area of life, but especially related to weight.

Instead, Hubs and I just try to focus on making healthy choices, whenever we can. This year we joined a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) that my best friend has been doing for years, and I’m so excited to get my hands on all the new and interesting fresh veggies. I love to cook, but rarely make time for it, so I think the influx of produce is going to force me to do more of that. You may see more veggie-related posts in the future!

In the meantime, if you are interested in plant-based eating (as a participant or observer), go check out Meghan’s blog. She manages to be really informative without coming off all judgmental and crazy. 

And in case you don’t have time to follow the links, here’s a picture of a kohlrabi. Because kohlrabi is fun!
