Hi Birdie!
Yeah, some of the old favorite comfort foods are harder to give up then others. And while I really don't miss the oil in most things anymore, pasta with olive oil and fresh garlic really was something I use to enjoy a lot. Using a small amount of minced olives sounds like a good alternative, I'll have to try that some time! Thanks for the tip!
I'm so glad you find my blog inspirational, that means a lot to me!
Thanks for taking the time to let me know!
New Orleans was a very interesting city, and I still have a few more pictures to add to my travel blog, when things slow down a little and I get a chance to get caught up. Thanks for taking a look, and providing me with fee back, I appreciate that!
