Delicious!

I was delighted to create a delicious new salad tonight!

Trying to stick to the weightloss plan, I am eating a lot more fruits and veggies and much smaller portions of the 'main course'... meat, curry, sandwich, etc. So tonight, to fill up my plate, I created this new twist on a cole slaw salad that is sure to have veggie lovers out there asking for more!

And! 1 cup of this delightful new treat is only 83 calories! Awesome!

Here's the 'recipe'... Enjoy!

Leah's Delightful Cole Slaw Salad

In large bowl, combine:
1 cup chopped broccoli
1 cup diced onions
1 cup shredded cabbage
1 cup grated carrots
1 T sesame seeds
1/2 cup pomegranate seeds

In separate small dish, combine and mix well:
1 T mayonaise
1/3 cup cider vinegar
1/2 t salt (or to taste)
1/2 t pepper (or to taste)

Pour dressing over salad and combine thoroughly. Eat and enjoy!

On Compassion

The tension has really ratcheted up in the last couple of weeks.     It seems like people are on edge. Extra nervous.     Almost on the verge of panicking. Is it COVID? Is it the election? Is it the constant uncertainty that we’ve all been under for months and months and months… and months?     So many of us thought that SURELY by the holidays we would have returned to ANY KIND of normal – old normal, new normal, abnormal… something.     But no.     Here we are.     It’s in this unsettled state of existence that my heart has started hurting.  It’s started hurting so much for all the broken people out there.  Yes, there’s been a lot of breaking going on.  Broken hearts, broken lives, you name it, things are breaking.  And there is pain and suffering going on.  And people who are broken need to be seen and heard and understood.   I think what’s needed most right now is some g...

On Thanksgiving

-
I read an article this afternoon titled, “You have permission to not be thankful this Thanksgiving”.     The author’s point was that no one should have to force themselves to be grateful just because a date on the calendar prescribes that we should be thankful.     She even brought in to her argument the fact that “the original Thanksgiving” (think Pilgrims and Native Americans) was a horrible affair sans turkey or any feelings of thanks or of giving or of compassion and humanity.     True enough, I suppose. I would never argue that someone should be forced to be thankful.     I would never say that someone should be compelled to give thanks for things that they don’t have or for things which have been ripped from their grasp.     Forced joy is not joy.     I get that.   However, if I’m going to argue about anything, I would choose to argue passionately about one thing in this regard.  And here's the reason:   I ...

Thoughts on Election Day

-
                It’s election day here in America.     A day of red, white, and blue.     Many people have already cast their vote, but others are waiting in lines at polling places, eager to fulfill their civic duty. It’s a day that’s supposed to be a celebration of democracy.     It’s supposed to be a day when we exercise our right to choose leadership for our country that will represent us and help to guarantee that our voices are heard.     It is a day that women and people of color have fought for the right to participate in.     Fought for the right to be included.     It’s a day that’s supposed to bring us together in unity as a nation with hope for a future that will bring us the promises our forefathers, white, male and slave owners they may have been, founded this nation to bring to reality.                ...
