Eating and living locally . . . mindfully . . . simply.
This week, I was really worried that I’d have to report a gain. I had my monthly, er, blip. Luckily it came off and then some, so I netted a half pound loss for the week. Better than a gain! In my weight loss class we are focusing on fiber this week. So for my recipe I knew I wanted something high in fiber. Also fast.

Seems that everyone is doing it, so I’ll jump in. Keep reading, though, I have a fun announcement at the end. My Foodie Resolutions I will eat as locally as possible within my budget.
