My UN-Processed Life: Day 57! May 9, 2014 So how's it going?

Day 57! May 9, 2014 So how's it going?

I have to say over all I still feel better and have more energy! I am really enjoying the cooking part and trying new recipes! It has been a crazy few weeks here between my daughters prom and our families April and May birthdays! I can not say that I have not eaten any processed foods but I have tried to limit it, the hardest was prom weekend! We were on the go all weekend and ate out allot- even though I tried to stick with salads and whole grain items, and so called good for me items.....guess what??? by Sunday night my indigestion was back, I had not had indigestion in over a month! Needless to say Monday morning I started back juicing and got right back on track! Guess the moral of this story was even when I think I am "eating good", unless I am make it myself its more than likely processed on some level!

I found some eggplants on sale so I thought I would give it a try! I had never purchased an eggplant in my life so it seemed like an adventure! I used this recipe from All Recipes for Eggplant Lasagna! http://allrecipes.com/recipe/eggplant-lasagna/
It did take me a while to prepare this so unless you do some of the steps ahead of time I would not recommended making this on a busy night! It was some work and but defiantly worth it! The only change I made to the recipe was replacing ground beef for tofu! I also got a tip from someone about eggplants, they said eggplants can have a bitter taste to them unless you soak them in salt water at least 15 minutes before cooking them. I did this and I did not taste any bitterness! I will defiantly be making this again!
Here are a few pics from our crazy past few weeks!
