You know life sometimes gets in the way of hobbies, health and....well everything. I have learned to take time for me. Self care is important but feels at times impossible. So, one thing at a time. I picked new up hobbies and now make time to do them. I realized I had some old ones I used to enjoy and cooking was one of them. Another thing I realized was that eating healthy is another thing I need to make time for. Again, one thing at a time, small steps. So my first step is to eat more vegetables. Add in some vegetarian options, less meat, lower fat and carbs. Decided to start with lunches. The problem is I am not a huge salad fan. Today I went with soft tacos. Vegetarian tacos. They were awesome and fit the lower carb, lower fat, veggie heavy criteria. They passed the husband test and even had a request to make them again.
And they are easy to make
