Getting sick of this food journal
Its getting pretty monotonous and boring....I think the direction of this blog will change, it's not just about what i am eating but more about "HoneySuckle's Preserves" and "HoneySuckle's Bake Shop"
I Have been having so much fun making preserves with wholesome ingredients and unique flavors using strawberries fomr my strawberry patch..YAY!! i sent a bunch of them out for Father's Day, I am new to canning but it definitely looked like they all vaccuum selaed pretty good. So far these are the flavors:
Balsamic Pepper Tickle
Tipsy Nutmeg - Tipsy because it has a dash of rum in it
Cinnamon Lullaby
Strawberry Apricot

I BUCKLED for Buckle
I went to the fresh market yesterday to get groceries for dinner and low and behold the blueberries were on sale and they were HUGE and sooooo sweet so of course I made David some buckle:

well I have been a strict vegan since Memorial day weekend but that buckle came out so perfect I had a little piece, I felt so guilty last night about it but today, I don' feel so bad. I have been strict up until then and hey for a first time vegan that's pretty good! I have been secretly making a mental menu in my head for my little fantasy bakery/cafe, the menu will definately include BUCKLE, I may make it in my extra big muffin tin mold thingy....and one of these days I will figure out how to make a VEGAN version of that recipe!

June Already!?
Well yesterday marked the one week anniversary of me being a vegan and I have to say, so far so good! I haven't slipped at all except for the day I had lunch in Dandridge with Carolina we went to a barbecue place and I had a nice salad and yummy baked potato, I seasoned it with peppercorn dressing but only a little....it was cream based....UGH! AND I was starving and when bread basket came i couldn't help myself I ate a little cornbread muffin, I know it had egg and butter in it for sure.
The last few days have been a blur, lots of work and lots of strawberry preserves...but here is my food journal for today:
Breakfast
latte with soymilk
1 banana
Lunch
1/2 cup brown rice
small piece of tofu
1/2 vegan cookie
Snack
1/2 cup dry cereal
tofu and almonds
Dinner
brown rice
broccoli
spicy seiten
pinto beans
piece of whole wheat bread
