This is a picture of Vegetable Beef Soup. I make some soup that looks about like this. Today would be a good day to make some :10/31/2012. You could put it in the crockpot or in a big pot on the stove; and have it ready when you get home this evening. Or if you're staying home just have it for a nice fall dinner. My mother made this when I was a child and I've been making it for a long time myself. It is really good, healthy and fairly low in calories. It helps in a weight-loss program. I am posting my recipe:                                       
                    
1 1/2 pounds of stew meat
3-4 bouillon cubes
1 can V-8 Juice
1 can of diced tomatoes
Water to make the pot about half full
6 medium large potatoes
6 large carrots
1 package frozen mixed vegetables or vegetable soup mix.
1 small onion (optional)

Place the stew meat in a large pot. Add enough water to cover a little above the meat. Add the bouillon cubes. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and boil gently for about 2 hours.  Add the V-8 Juice and tomatoes. Can add more water if needed. Continue cooking about 30 minutes. Add the carrots, potatoes and frozen vegetables. Cook another 30 minutes or until everything is done and tender. Serve with crackers. If you prefer to fix in a crockpot; put all the ingredients in the crockpot and cook on low 8-10 hours or on high 5-6 hours.


                                                                                

I'm still trucking with this diet. The good thing about Grace is you don't have to quit if it gets hard; just regroup and keep moving forward! This looks good! I think it's a Taco Casserole.

Oven Fried Chicken I found on Pinterest. Looks good,

Well here it is Monday again. I weighed again today and seem to be holding pretty steady. I think I weighed about a pound more than last week, but that might have to do with what I was wearing or what I had eaten recently. I'm not worried about it though, I feel like I'm still on track. I guess we'll see next week. I am getting more and more interested in the nutritional side of this. I believe a good nutritious diet along with supplements goes a long way in living a healthy life. And don't overlook sleep and exercise either.
