new year..new hopes ..new resolutions





New years dinner at Americano was a big success, then we were closed for a couple of days, it was nice to spent some time with a family and kids. Today is time to go back to a real life....make sauces...stocks dressings...figure new menu...it is hard to get some fresh inspiration, when outside is whether....you know..! I also would like to share something....that all of our familly going to do VEGAN diet for 30 days ...and I'm one of them too..ooops ! I do not believe in vegan or vegeterian diet at all...but for some people it is necessary to loose bad food habits...I o not where come from and what do you think, but whole fresh food diet ..eat everything in a normal size portion is the way to go...I do not support fast and process food industry....as well as junk foods...hydrogenated fats, Hight Fr. corn syrup...etc....and they are all hiding in store bought cookies, brownies, candies, ice creams ..even breads...or and there is pop.... or don' get me started.
The reason I go vegan for 30 days, just to show it is can be done....and vegan food can be delicious healthy and creative.
In a past I have seen people called them self vegetarians who ..pounds, cookies, candies, fast food cheese pizzas...fat free ice creams...salad dressings..etc. I called that wrong...
So vegan it is...no delisious pork bely or some fresh fish, shrimp, my pizza and cappuccinos for me for 30 days..:)
