I love cooking soups because its one of my fave meals. It’s easy and quick, light and healthy. I used vegetables, lentil, spinach and made some yummy whole wheat dumplings to add some Jamaican style and flava along with various Jamaican spices…

Cottage cheese and fresh fruits for breakfast
A quick delicious and healthy breakfast!
I am still able to enjoy my national dish- Ackee and Salt fish!
I’m sure happy I can still eat the most authentic Jamaican food I grew up eating. Ackee is actually a fruit we normally cook with salt fish and boil or fried dumpling. Its not only yummy but super healthy.

Simple tastes delicious.
Lately I’ve been trying lots of different foods as I embark this vegetarian journey. But some days I just go with the things I know I love and pair it together to make a simple delicious dish.

Doesn’t hurt to just cook with love!!!
Hola,
So I’ve been meaning to share with ya’ll some of the dishes I made this week with my $9.00 worth of grocery. So here’s a quick pic of one of my delicious creations. My husband had seconds to tell you how delicious this was.. So on a lettuce leaf I had black bean and mango salad with a little lemon juice and salt and pepper. On another leaf I had sautéed soy chunks with potato, carrots and cilantro. Oh boy was this delicious served with rice.😊

Being vegetarian/Pescatarian can be very affordable!
So on this path one thing I’ve been enjoying so far is I get to food shop way more and yet spend way less than I would normally on grocery. This weekend the hubby and I went food shopping and only spent $9.00. Great deals always on fruits and veggies. These are just what we bought and great deals included ten mini bananas for $0.50, not each! But all….pretty awesome if you asked me. To God be the glory, great things he’s doing in my tummy😊.

This Vegetarian Journey Begins…
Today was the last day of my cleanse. Praise God! It went O.k to say the least. My body didn’t really take to the cleanse and I felt weak most of the time with a slight headache. Even with me taking every step precisely as recommended. Didn’t work for me, yet the best part of this cleanse was for me the five day fast from solid food intake. That took a lot of discipline and self control. But I made it with the help of God. This was more of a spiritual fast and I kept grounded in the word more than ever. Through it all God was good, is good and all glory be to him. Now I’m totally dedicated to go on this journey of living the lifestyle of a vegetarian. Ready to discipline my stomach. Ready to exercise my muscles. Ready to take back my health. Ready even more to spread the word of God. For even more than before I now will have even more strength and will power to do so. Today was a great day spent with my friend and her new born Angel and she made me my first Jamaican vegetarian dish (dumpling with potato and steamed spinach and cabbage with broccoli and carrot) Oh so delicious! Plus I got a chance to renew my passion in photography by doing a photo shoot with her lovely daughter. All glory be to God.

2 of 5 day Internal Cleanse!!
Hello fellow bloggers,
So today was day 5 of my nine days internal colon cleanse and day 2 of not eating any food. Just drinking my toxin cleanser every 3 hours for 5 times for the next 3 days. Yesterday was o.k, had a few minor headaches here and there and my body was just pretty much trying to adjust to not being fed..Today I woke up a bit energized, but still just a tad bit sluggish. Through this whole process my ultimate goal is to draw closer to God and for my body to give him glory. One of my favorite songs right now is “Happy” by Tasha Cobbs.
This song has pretty much been my anthem all week and it lifts my spirit every single time I hear it. It goes a little something like this:
You make me happy
You make me whole
You take the pain away
I’m so in love with you
Everything about you is right
It covers all my wrong
YOUR LIFE SAVED MY LIFE. With you is where I belong
YOUR LIFE SAVED MY LIFE! Hope deep is that one line. Jesus came to give us life, and not just life….but his words says this, “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly”. John 10:10
Don’t let unhealthy food, diet , habits destroy your purpose of having a long healthy and prosperous life that our King promised to us…don’t get caught up in wanting to go to heaven before your time, fulfill His promise here on earth first! So convicted of this here truth. Today I’ve chosen LIFE!
This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live- Deuteronomy 30:19
Love Butterfly— 
3rd day of internal cleanse
Today was another good day and I think I’m totally ready for tomorrow! The beginning of my five day intense liquid only fast! To God be the glory, great things is yet to come 😊. Today’s meal was a fruit salad for breakfast, a salad for lunch and tomato and basil soup for dinner. Now off to bed, a little exhausted after working out with my zumba. Night world.

2nd day of internal cleanse….still feeling great!
So second day in and still felt energized this morning. Bowel flow coming along as suggested. Today I had an apple for breakfast, a healthy smoothie blast for lunch and for dinner my last meal of tilapia with cole slaw. ( no more meat or seafood after today)
Cleanliness is next to Godliness…
