365 Days of Positivity - Day 44

Today marked the end of my first week as an honest-to-goodness vegetarian, and to commemorate this occasion my body decided to thin itself down to the point that my "skinny" jeans...you know, the old-school skinny jeans that you can only wear one week out of the month...are now officially my comfortable, every day jeans.

Weight loss AND another necessary shopping spree? WIN, WIN, BABY!!

Recipe Review!

Last night I had a strange thing happen; the hubby was working late, the 17-YO was staying at a friend's house, and the 9-YO ate dinner at the birthday party he went to - leaving me able to cook something JUST FOR ME! Can you believe it?

I'm not a vegetarian, but were it not for the house full of carnivores that I live with I probably would be. I'm just not a big meat fan. We have "Vegetarian Tuesday" at our house, but even then I have to be very careful to choose something that the boys will all eat and fell satisfied eating. Now here I am, for once able to cook something that I'd been wanting to try for a LONG time. The problem? The list is lengthy.

After a little debate, and a lot of cupboard checks for ingredients, I decided on an Artichoke & Red Pepper Frittata. It was DIVINE! I think I was a little heavy-handed on the crushed red pepper, but other than that it was the perfect dinner. I added a little garden salad with some light creamy caesar dressing, and some white merlot (as a fritatta is just too delicate for standard merlot, for me).

I would most definitely recommend this recipe to anyone and everyone!
