Trying new things...

I have been trying new things these past couple of weeks. Primarily new foods. For a couple of reasons, I have been trying to expand my horizons when it comes to good nutrition lately. That would be the reason why I have some strawberry banana soy yogurt sitting in front of me as I type right now. The verdict's still out on that one. While I can handle the flavor, the smell is really unappealing. I also tried some plain soymilk yesterday. I'll admit that even while I was standing in line to purchase it, I was thinking to myself, "I am really going to hate this stuff..." But, surprise! I actually liked it. See what happens when you branch out and try something new? On the agenda for this week are meals with lentils and quinoa. Did you know that quinoa is a complete protein?? While I have had and enjoyed both of these things before, I have never ventured to try to make a meal of them in my own kitchen. I guess I'll let you know how it goes...

What about you? Are you expanding your horizons in any aspect of your life lately?

Why yes, yes I am. I will be attending the final session of my acrylic painting class tonight. You can call me Picasso now.

I think that this painting class has affected my cooking as well, because I feel more artistic and confident in my cooking adventures.

Next horizon is tennis...
