Wedding stuff, dog stuff, and healthy living stuff...probably some other stuff too! Welcome to my place in the tumblr world.
I'm 43 years old, with two grown children. I think I may be the oldest person using tumblr! I'm engaged to a wonderful man, and trying to get in shape and lose weight. We have two cattle dogs that are amazing.
Just living is not enough. One must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower.~Hans Christian Anderson

I stopped on my way home from work at Uncle John’s Cider Mill and had a buttermilk donut and a cup of hot cider. Mmmmm. Autumn in Michigan.
Vegan Day One
Naked Green Machine for breakfast.
Lunch was brown rice and black bean burritos with salsa.
Handful of raw cashews for lunch.
For dinner I’m thinking a big lettuce salad with roasted veggies on it.
Got in 40 minutes on the treadmill too. Other than allergies, I’m feeling really good. I have no idea if this would be considered a pretty typical vegan eating day since it’s my first try.
beautiful color blue…gorgeous, though not particularly appetizing in my eyes, but i’m not a red velvet cake fan either-seems unnatural
10 Healthy Sweet Potato Recipes!
For a humble root vegetable, the sweet potato sure does have a lot going for it. The orange tuber packs 438% of your daily value of infection-fighting vitamin A and, like carrots, sweet potatoes are a major source of skin-protecting beta-carotene. While bananas are often touted as the go-to source of potassium, a medium sweet potato has 28% more potassium than a banana. (The mineral helps your body absorb fluids to replace sweat losses.)
Whether sweet potatoes only enter your kitchen on Thanksgiving or they have a regular spot in your cooking rotation, you could probably use more delicious ways to prepare them. Here are 10 recipes for dishes from fries to soup—each with about 300 calories or less.
