One of my goals for the new year is to eat more veggies.   I’ve been wretched … wretched I tell you … since staying home.  Working outside the home, you see, I could pack a lunch that included carrots and the like, and then I would have to eat them, or go hungry.  When I’m home, however, I can just  … I don’t know … eat more cookies or something.  This leaves a pitiful display of vegetables with dinner.  And that, is that. 

And, since it looks like freelance may be the route for me, I must get off this crazy train. 

So, more veggies.  And they must be tasty, or I’ll simply ignore.  Thankfully, I love me a good vegetable.  I’m just at a loss if you expect me to do more than a side.  With that in mind, I’ve called in the troops.  A vegetarian cookbook - one that seemed to hold promise – is on it’s way; and I’ve taken a few baby steps.  By baby steps I mean the recipes tried thus far have not been entirely healthy (processed ingredients don’t you know – as the true vegetarians GASP(!) in alarm!).  Still, it’s a start.  And a delectable start at that. 

Take Black Bean Pizza for instance.   So quick, so easy, so de-lic-ious!   And you can get the recipe here.

My mum and I share a couple of girlfriends - K and T – who love a good theme as much as we do.  So a couple years ago we started a tradition.  The birthday girl chooses a movie – and then we try to find a restaurant that goes with the movie.  Saturday was K’s celebration.  She chose Julie & Julia (stay tuned for the review); we chose a charming little bistro called “La Vie en Rose.”
