This weeks challenge...

I've decided to start giving myself some mini challenges while I'm on the road.  This week I decided that for the week I would try to give up eating meat...(let's not get crazy, it was just for the time I was gone, not forever...)  I thought it would be fairly simple, and in reality it was.  I wasn't longing for meat, but what struck me was how difficult it was to find something to eat at many of the places I stopped.  I ate lots of veggie sandwiches, steamed vegetables and rice, cheese, potato chips and salad.  The good news is that I survived, 4 days, no meat and I'm still alive.  I think I decided to do that to sort of challenge myself a little on a mental level.  Sometimes I need that reminder that I can do ANYTHING I put my mind to.  Having said all that about celebrating the vegetables, I created a vegetable pizza over the weekend, based on my favorite veggie sandwich.  I thought about those vegetable pizzas that graced many a church or office potluck with the broccoli and ranch dressing...this one is an updated version, a little more sophisticated and it would be the perfect complement to my Cucumber 5 Spice Cooler I made as well.  Check the recipe and drink sections for the recipes.
