Couldn't help but feel a bit down today. I think everyone is feeling the New Year blues. There are little things you can do to lift your mood, I like to get a take away coffee and take an hour out to read a book or magazine. Today I got a skinny chai latte and borrowed Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's veg everyday from the library and it is pretty inspirational. Anyone who has seen Hugh's television programmes will know that he likes cooking and eating meat so his challenge to be vegetarian over the summer was a big task. His book is massive and has lots of inspiring and original recipes from raw or warm salads, to soups, roasted vegetables..... the list goes on.
I love trying new recipes and think I prefer clever vegetarian ones to most others.
One of my favourite veggie dinners is the not-so-original veggie lasagne. Today I actually followed a recipe (usually just wing it) and it came out pretty delicious.

Other nice things to lift your mood:
a manicure using bright colours
going for a brisk walk
some quick exercises even if just yoga
Today I did 20 minutes Pilates using a "10 minute solutions" DVD
They are really great to get a quick workout in, I did mine whilst the dinner was in the oven :)
Which is your favourite vegetarian recipe?
