been a long time

I have a hard time blogging/writing when my life is improving. It's interesting - a lot of folks notice their creativity levels depend on their emotional state of being. Take now, for instance, I'm not at my full happiness potential right now and here I am, coming back to this blog. It's a shame I approach writing as a therapeutic process rather than a creative process. I'm thinking of going to talk therapy to turn this issue around hehehehe.

On that note, my life's been improving. I feel as if I have finally regained control overy my appetite: I'm overeating very rarely and when I do find that I've overeaten it is not at all to the degree I was overeating and all my food choices are healthier. I think the breakfasts have really helped me with the balance; I'm not encountering cravings the way I was and I'm able to "go without" more often.

This morning I was late getting out of the house so I ate a carrot covered in hummus for breakfast and then later on had a small bowl of homemade granola and water.

Yesterday I had leftover chili from a party I'd been to on Saturday night along with two pieces of spelt bread and some sour cream.

On Saturday morning I ate a bowl of cold baked beans. I really hit on the beans recipe this past week; the trick is browning the onions. Good ol' browning. the pinto beans I buy from Organic Planet are extremely good; they are firm, tasty and a great colour.

A breakfast I really enjoyed last week was leftover Three Sisters Casserole; beans corn and squash baked in a creamy polenta. They're like squares of mexican breakfast. Not too greasy at all, very tasty and a nice mix of proteins and carbs.
