For me 2013 is all about fitness and body transformation. I want to use this year to challenge myself. I'm six days late but I had to tell you guys about my January challenge. I've decided along with a friend to commit to no meat for the entire month. We decided to cut out all beef, pork, and my all time favorite CHICKEN! That means only veggies and seafood. As far as my meat intake, I'm relying more on meatless products by brands Boca and Morningstar Farms.
This is my second time on the challenge and I'm not worried one bit about my success. I'm a veggie lover and willing to try any vegetable once. So I see January as a month of discovery. I started the month with a homemade vegetable soup that's filling and a great combination to a salad or sandwich.
Here's the recipe: Start with 8 cups of water, then add
1 can vegetable stock (14oz) 1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 can tomato puree (29oz) 2 tablespoons onion powder
1 can tomato paste (6oz) 8 cups of water 4 dashes ground black pepper
1 large carrot, medium dice 6 handfuls of veggie pasta (rotini, fusilli, ziti, noodles)
2 stalks celery, medium dice 2 red-skin potatoes, medium dice
1 large eggplant, sliced and cut in fourths 2 yellow squash, medium dice
2 zucchini, medium dice 1 can black beans
1 can whole corn Add seasoning of your choice to taste
Combine all ingredients in a crock pot on high heat for 4-6 hours, depending on the texture desired.
I've taken the next step and committed to TOTALLY no meat for the month of March. If you're interested, sign the pledge with me here:
