Is it possible to follow Tim Ferriss's Four Hour Body diet AND a low-fat vegan diet?
Oh yes.
And it's surprisingly fun. Personally, I am enjoying the simplicity of what I am eating. I am enjoying the repetition. I am enjoying the extra energy I have and I am really enjoying watching that number on the scale decrease.
For months now, my friend Mary has been proclaiming the benefits of not eating bread. I get it now. I didn't think I could live without my sourdough bread or roasted garlic bread.
And the "binge day" once a week really does take away the desire to "cheat".
So what does a low fat vegan Four Hour Body gal eat? Breakfast - lentils and spinach. Lunch - refried beans with salsa, salad. Dinner - kale, beans & "sausage" with salad. And soup. Lots of veggies.
Repeat.

Jerusalem Artichokes
a.k.a. - sunchokes - I've been meaning to try these for a while. After some googling, I decided to roast them (along with some onions, salt and pepper). They are good, earthy, I like them cooked until they are mushy, they get sweeter the longer they cook. Not likely to be an often addition, but am not scared of them now either.

Tofu Kale Stir-Fry
My kale obsession has resumed and back in full force - recipe here - really should have used reduced sodium tamari, wee bit on the salty side - other than that, this was quick and easy and will be a staple for meals in the future. Maybe add some mushrooms? Throw in some bok choy?

Home for the Holidays!
Fantastic trip home, didn't realize how much I needed it. Re-connecting with family is re-connecting with oneself on a very deep, primitive level. Miss my grandmother very much, yet I saw and felt her in her siblings, children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

This one had the "old standby" sauce, roma tomato slices, green pepper, onion & shitake mushrooms & kale sauteed in red wine, and a little basil & oregano. Was wonderful!

Pumpkin & Black Bean Casserole
Yeah, it might not sound appealing, but it's somehow genius. I subbed 2 small butternut squashes for the pumpkin. Recipe here.
