    lots of things surprised. I would think the numbers with access to clean water is much less. It skipped the queer percentages. I thought starving would be higher.

Good-bye April, Hello May!

April's finished . . so it's time for a goal update. Read an old book: I read The Little Prince and Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats . And several other "older" books are still on my hold list at the library. It was a nice change of pace to read something in which there's no mention of the internet, cell phones, or television. Take 200 photos: This was certainly made easier by the fact that my husband came home   (I think he needs a blog nickname, haha) and I live with two adorable cats.  Read 168 Hours:  Bleh. This review nails it. Craft something: Craft something, indeed. My mom and I made a quilt for my husband (at least 90% were her efforts). I'll be sharing more in a separate post! My goals for May? I'm taking a break and keeping it simple: GO OUTSIDE. This time of year is some of my favorite weather (not too hot, not too cold, medium amounts of rain and breeze, the air is filled with lovely smells). I adore it every year and

Vegetarian Version of Olive Garden's Chicken Gnocchi Soup

I love Olive Garden's Chicken Gnocchi Soup.  Love, love love!  In the past, I would gladly eat two bowls of it, about 5 breadsticks, and take my whole meal home!  But I've had to skip it since becoming vegetarian and that sucks.  So I found a copycat recipe online , and tweaked it to make it vegetarian.  (I am so grateful for copycat sites!) Surprisingly enough (not), the original recipe calls for chicken ... I added boiled potatoes to take their place.  You could probably cook the potatoes right in the soup - just make sure to add them early enough that they finish cooking before everything else goes soft.  That might be too much potato in one soup for some people (is that even possible?).  :)  You could bump up the amounts of the gnocchi or other veggies in the recipe, or add corn, bell peppers, or soy "chicken" if the extra potatoes don't float your boat. Any other ideas for taking the place of the chicken? Start by chopping your veggies: I didn

Getting Enough Protein as a Vegetarian

One of the top questions people ask when they find out I'm vegetarian is how I get enough protein ( among other things ). It's not really something I worry about or track, but I am conscious of it, and try to eat something high in protein at least once a day.  Hannah recently recorded everything she ate to see how she fares, and I'm copying. :) So here for the curious, are a typical day's worth of eats. A woman my age is supposed to get at least 45 grams ( as stated here ). Do you think I'll get enough? I used  Calorie Count  to determine my protein numbers. :) Breakfast:  Dark chocolate almond granola with milk = 12 grams Morning Snack: Salad + 1/4 cup pistachios = 6 grams Lunch:  Vegetable stir fry = 22 grams Dinner: Vegetable wrap with cheese and french fries = 19 grams Evening Snack: 2 squares of chocolate + popcorn =  7 grams Total: 66 grams protein   I'm honestly surprised by how far over the recommended amount I was!  Do
