Update: Veggie Heaven in 2011

Despite my lack of posting my daily pictures, I actually have been following through with my veggie heaven in 2011 goal! I've missed 4 days...but out of however many days that have gone by, that's still pretty good.
Thanks to my wonderful iPhone camera, here are a few of my favorites:
poppyseed dressing over mandarin oranges, peppitas,  dried cranberries and spring greens

Green Smoothie!! Plain yogurt, orange juice, frozen strawberries and spinach. (thank you VitaMix)

this is amazing yogurt ranch dressing over red leaf lettuce, cheese and black beans.

this is the first salad of the year!! The garlic stuffed green olives and fresh lemon juice made this salad yummy!

Avacado: probably my favorite salad topper, and some delicious bean salsa from Harmons. 

The DoDo's house salad. forever and always my favorite. I think I've had 3 of these so far!!


I won't feel bad if you don't watch the whole slideshow.  I kinda posted it more for my own sake than anyone else's.

Veggie Heaven in 2011

one of my heroes, mary, told me that she likes to make a rhyme for her new years resolution. i thought it was a great idea. we came up with mine together. you see, in 2011 i am going to eat a salad every day. wait, scratch that. i am going to attempt to eat a salad every day. inspired by my friend who ate a bowl of leafy green goodness every day in 2009, i decided to try it for myself. check out yearofsalad.com for more details about the challenge. don't you love this cute button? it was put together by yours truly. jenny's simple style is catchy, don't you think?
last year i went off of carbonation. that was easy compared to this (and i haven't even started it yet). it seems easier to NOT DO something...i am going to have to DO stuff like plan ahead and store salad ingredients neatly in my fridge. and maybe even go to the store more than once a month. oh, and the part of actually eating the salad. sure, i like green salad...but EVERY day? i hope i'm converted by the end. i know it will make me feel better and be healthier. even with all that parmesan lemon-garlic-oil and bacon dressing from the Do Do. ok it doesn't sound that bad. now i just need to get some of that dressing.

i know i'm jumping ahead a bit...but i still need to find my camera cord to post all my fun pics of the house and Christmas. not to mention C1's birthday...the MOST important thing about this past month. eventually i'll get to it. stay tuned if you're interested.
