Since we've been doing Low Carb Thursday, Jorge & I have been eating a little healthier. But one thing we have trouble with, and I swear it's all his fault, is eating enough vegetables. Seriously, he's not real crazy about too many vegetables, and when we met, he would not touch a salad. Of course, I have made progress with him. ; ) But I figure we're not the only ones who don't want to eat their veggies, so today's recipe is a vegetable recipe. And it's very simple, it's tasty, really, eat your veggies; I swear, they're good AND they're good for you!

PonyUP! Kentucky Hobo Bag Review and Giveaway!

The Adventures of J-Man and Millerbug are giving away a super new hobo bag from PonyUp! Kentucky. "The fun patterns and superior craftsmanship puts them in a class of their own. Second, the high quality leather purse strap is amazing! Designed with a horse halter in mind, this strap is sturdy, beautiful and in a class of it’s own! Finally, the fact that a portion of the sales from these bags benefit retired and rescued horses in need sealed the deal. When you combine those things with the overall superb cuteness of these bags, you’ve got a sure fire hit that women and horse lovers alike are sure to be crazy over! It is super roomy so that you can have all the things you need without being so big that it overwhelms your look (you know how some bags do!). The leather strap is literally beautiful! It is such a showpiece and will make you proud to carry the bag. And the craftsmanship of the bag is just great! "
