Can't beat that face, can you? I've already made it quite clear to my Mom that my own kids will never be this cute, just so she's prepared!
While in NC, I received the most relieving news I've heard in a while. I had my 1st 4 month pap since my surgery to check on everything. I was supposed to get the results on Friday but they never came in. Then came Memorial Day weekend, and I knew I was going to have to wait until Tuesday to hear anything. Every so often, I would think about this throughout the weekend and my stomach would drop. I hate the feeling of the unknown and being well aware that there's nothing I can do about it. Anyways while browsing Kohl's with my Mom & Sister, I got the call. Everything was GOOD! I nearly collapsed at the news. I ran to find my Mom to tell her the news and cried like a baby. So now, I will go every 6 months to check on things rather than the typical year.
The reason I continue to share this with you is because I am a strong believer that what you put into your body is your medicine. I have spent the last 9 1/2 months feeding my body tons of plant based foods, while cutting back on all animal products. I am not saying that I don't eat some animal products like eggs & cheese, but the extent to which I eat those things have been drastically cut back. For example, I have been regularly using soy or almond milk in my coffee and my cooking. I will usually omit cheese in recipes or use Daiya brand instead.
Tonight I made a Roasted Veggie Polenta Lasagna. I was craving Italian food, but didn't feel like stuffing my face with abnormal amounts of pasta like I would usually do. It received the *Husband's Stamp of Approval* so I will definitely be making this again!
