How can you go somewhere if you don’t know where you want to go?  This article is about finding your goal or purpose before you start so you have a place to focus.  The idea of looking where you want to go is used in racing whether car, truck, motorcycle, or bike.  The idea is to not to keep your visual focus on obstacles, but to focus on where you want to go.  Then the vehicle will go where you look easier.  I have found this advice works great when I am mountain biking.  Yes, if I look down and carefully watch the roots or rocks I can make it through the obstacles, but I end up going slower and I don’t have advance visual notice of what is ahead.

Here are some vegetarian and gluten free offers I recently found. Let me know if you have any feedback on any of them.  Click on the banners or images to go to each site.

This lady suffered from many health issues which ultimately were caused by sugar and food sensitivities to many grains.  She has put her years of experience into a book with both recipes and methods for transforming your favorite recipes to gluten-free and low-glycemic.

This book contains much about losing and maintaining weight with yoga, but also comes with a complete additional bonus book called Vegetarian Recipes for Health and Happiness.

This comes from a mother-daughter team with the mom’s handed down recipes and the daughter writing them all up in simple to read and use format.  This offer comes with lots of extras including books on weight loss and organic food.

Vegetarian Cooking Made Easy. A Step By Step Guide To A Vegetarian Lifestyle.  This comes with tons of extras including getting started basics, tons of recipes, simple formulas, things to watch out for, plus how to make sure you are getting everything you need.

Do you have any cookbooks or resources you find indispensable?  Be sure to comment and let me know about them.

Ingredients:

* = substitute vegan cheese and omit the sour cream for vegan version.

I use corn tortillas because we try to minimize wheat.  Substitute flour tortillas if wheat/gluten is ok for you.

Also you can add lettuce or other fresh vegetables if you have them on hand.
