She is back in her quarantine bubble but feeling better. My mom and stepdad have had no symptoms nor have I. I have my Covid test today…
A few weeks ago I made the decision to go back to plant based eating. Going back to Plant based eating.

I have their app and use a majority of their recipes. I also love Overcoming Multiple Sclerosis (OMS) https://overcomingms.org/recovery-program/diet. This is also a great site focused on fruits and vegetables, whole grains and…

Made this soup from WW, formally weight watchers, the other day. It was really good. A nice hearty filling soup perfect for the winter weather.

Ingredients: Cooking spray 2 Onions, medium size chopped One Green Pepper, chopped 1/2 Lb Sweet Potatoes, peeled and chopped into 1/2 cubes 2 Carrots, chopped  2…

This is another great vegan soup recipe I found at https://www.simplyquinoa.com/lemon-garlic-wild-rice-soup/. Simply Quinoa is an amazing website created to empower others into a healthy lifestyle. I could spend hours there looking at recipes and articles. Check it out. https://www.simplyquinoa.com/ I changed the grain in this soup to a more healthy grain. I used wheat berry. This caused a lot of the liquid to be absorbed and because of that I only got a quart of the soup. I may try…
