I have been enjoying time with my family immensely. The first night back my mom made a delicious vegan meal of barbecue seitan. She even made the seitan herself (she’s a pretty awesome woman). Our lovely spread included green beans (with s&p, and butter optional for the non-vegans), butternut squash fries (courtesy of me), various rolls and breads for the barbecue, and of course the barbecued seitan itself. I opted for the “flax and fiber” bread, which my brother discovered recently.
We ended up not going into the city (NYC) in order to spend more quality time at home. Maybe next time!
I’ve made a few new years’ resolutions. Among them – be happier with whatever comes my way, listen to my body, and stop obsessing over details.
I’m no longer going to be logging everything I eat every day because it hasn’t been that beneficial for me recently. Perhaps in the future I’ll go back to it. For now, I’m going to focus on blogging about good meals and good health and of course, good yoga.
Happy New Year my lovely readers! I am so grateful for all that blogging has brought me in the past year and I have all of you to thank for it. Thank you so much again. I’m am so lucky to have found this niche. Be safe and be well.
