Why I Created This Blog...

I've created this blog in an attempt to publish some of my life. My life isn't really very interesting, but I'm on a quest to get healthy. Healthy. Really healthy. I'm getting married on August 24th, (29 days) and I'd really just like to feel my best.

My hope is that in a way, this blog, this online journal, for the world to see, will keep me accountable to posting.

I am an aspiring artist. I take photographs. Of people, of creatures, of food, the earth, anything that captures my attention. I also love to crochet, knitting a little bit, and I love cooking, & this has been my first year growing a garden. I have so much to learn still, about everything.

And with all that said...
Today for lunch I made a sandwich with no bread.

Turkey Bread-less Sandwich

2 large romaine leaves
6 slices turkey
2 slices white american cheese
salt and pepper

Place turkey and cheese on half of the romaine lettuce leaf. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Fold in half. Repeat with other lettuce leaf and remaining turkey and cheese.

And for dinner a salad, not very exciting until you add lots of veggies

2 baby carrots, sliced
1/4 radish, sliced thin

Pile on a plate and enjoy. Yum!
