Food Journal: part 1

As a reaction to the starch comas of thanksgiving and with the idea of Christmas cookie mayhem almost upon me I have decided to eat vegan for the next 20 days.
My sister turned me onto a food blog called 101 Cookbooks a while back and I decided to start there on Monday.
I made Curried Bean Salad.
Here's how it turned out:

The lentils and beans soaked up the lemon and curry and were really lovely. The flavors got more mellow after it set for a while in my fridge, it made a lot! We started putting it on top of a bed of salad greens; the perfect dressing.

Today, Thursday, I decided to use up some things and made a skillet dish of: green beans, a sweet potato, fresh corn, red onion, garlic, and pumpkin seeds which i mixed in with some barley and a quick lemon basil dressing from our garden. It was very yummy.
