I used Lightlight Smart Bacon - the bacon style strips. It is one of the only vegan brands of bacon that I like! They also make smart dogs which are great too (especially for summer grilling). :)

Edna, that is a great point! I am not certain who the speaker was. Additionally, I am not certain whether there is any empirical evidence that supports these claims - however, I thought it was nice story (perhaps, that's all it is) to share with my readers.

After a quick search on Google scholar, I found an article (http://www.jstor.org/stable/10.2307/2096456) which suggests that supportive relationships, in general, are associated with lower levels of psychological distress. Thus, quality time spent nurturing supportive relationships may serve an a stress reduction technique. I'm certain there are individual differences and variables that moderate this relationship (e.g., coping styles) - but overall, it is quite interesting! :)

Hey Beth! I did use kale - the mixed baby kales from Earthbound Farms organics. They baby kale is not as rubbery as the other varieties. I'm sorry it didn't work out for you!

I'm so glad you're excited about it! Fast food is such an easy fall back and it's so accessible! But the fact that you realize the dangers and acknowledge falling back into those habits is a step towards success! :)

haha! Your comment made me laugh out loud. Now I am determined to made you love salads (or veggie bowls). Starting out with more roasted veggies (sweet potato, broccoli, cauliflower, parsnips, etc.) and fewer raw veggies is a good idea. Also, the dressing is super important! :)
