Hello again.  I've been away for a very long time again! 3 years ...DANG!! Well, coming back is what's important, right?!  Like visiting an old friend you haven't seen in years.  If it's good, you just pick up without skipping a beat so that is what I will attempt to do.

What's up?????....

2015 - nothing I can think of.

2016 - more nothing I can think of.  What a boring life, eh?!

2017 -  I went WFPB ~ Whole Foods Plant Based ~. Sometimes I just say vegan because people understand that.  Mostly.  I still get the occasional question "You eat fish, right?  No.  How about this cake?  It has no meat, just eggs and butter!  No."  To be honest, I don't mind the questions because I love sharing any knowledge I have about how awesome this way of eating has made me feel.

Since changing my diet years ago I have always felt good but I wanted to see if I could feel REALLY good and after watching a bunch of documentaries - Forks Over Knives, Food Matters, Fat Sick & Nearly Dead, etc... I gave it a go and have to admit I do feel pretty darn amazing.  So that's my update in a nutshell.

BF and I bought a new house early in summer with a fabulous  fenced in yard so the dogs have lots and lots of yard to run in and chase bunnies ...Martini's favorite outdoor activity I think!  Watching them run around the yard makes me happy.  Makes a 30 year mortgage totally worth it!

2018 - Still chopping and dicing and smoothie making, and have added in juicing now!  Still on the "making the best version of me" train.  Still wanting to share what I know with others...which has sort of lead to this blog being re-incarnated.  I absolutely love it when a friend approaches me about going plant based or a cooking question.  I've figured out I'm happiest in the kitchen - love prepping and chopping and cooking ...even though I tend to make a mess, I always clean up! And hey, that"s part of the process!

I started a food related Instagram ...maybe you've made that connection already, if not, find me on IG at happinessmadeinthekitchen.  Maybe you'll see a thing or two you like.  Maybe you'll pick up a tip or two.  Maybe you'll find a recipe that will inspire you to try it as well.  Maybe you'll get a little hungry.

So let's get this train rolling again....
