i'm gearing up to do another 21 day vegan kick start.  i am not sure when they are going to have one start "officially," but i've decided to give it another go.  it's time to take charge of my own health and destiny.  now.....how do i rid the house of tortilla chips and "nacho cheese" dip?  i had a recipe for vegan cheezey dip, but i can't find that at the moment.  i have to find my copy of "the kind diet" and look through EVERYTHING!   thank goodness it's fall and pumpkin and squash are in season and plentiful.  they're drought resistant, so there was a bumper crop of pumpkins in the midwest this summer.  time to hit the farmer's market on friday!  have market bag, will shop!  and time to clear out the fridge.  but before i do that, i have to make one last batch of bolognese sauce.  it is a weakness that i have.  it's sooooo good.  it takes FOREVER to cook, but oh, so good and oh, so worth it.  and i'll stick the rest in the freezer for the omnivore familia. 

we were cleaning out our storage unit today and i should have grabbed my copy of "the china study" to motivate me a little more.  i've got "the omnivore's dilemma" here at the house.  we have to go over tomorrow, so i guess it won't be too difficult to pick it up...if i can find the right box.  that's a big if, we moved a lot of stuff tonight!

my next challenge in life is to find affordable vegan marshmallows.  i think i'm gonna get burned on that one.
