Made a squash and apple soup the other day that was also surprisingly filling.

We eat a lot of homemade hummus. It's really easy with an immersion blender, and there is so much you can do with it. We skip the oil in it, so that makes it better.
Since I started really eating this way, my blood pressure is down from 135/70, which is where I had been for years, down to 123/62. That all by itself is pretty amazing.
I've had some poor stretches of eating, especially the last few weeks that have been pretty stressful for me, but I still feel committed to it. I find that when I do drink dairy milk (maybe 5 times since August), or eat a lot of junk or sugar that my body responds by not feeling well. It's something I had never noticed before, but it's hard to miss now.
