I usually fill in my food diary in the morning - having everything I plan to eat that day listed out helps to keep me on track. :) I'm going to the dentist today to get a broken filling fixed, so I'm holding off on everything except brekkie until I see what I'm allowed... HOPING for normal foods so I don't have to improvise - improvisation can be very dangerous for me! :)

One interesting note - I saw headlines today about a study that concluded that pasta was good for weight loss - after reading the article, I can see how they came to that conclusion... the subjects ate an average of 3.3 servings of pasta per week, at 1/2 cup of cooked pasta per serving. I like pasta, but I wonder how many people are going to stop at the headline and say, "Oh boy, as much pasta as I want!" We humans always seem to be trying to find ways around "Moderation in all things." I guess that's part of what makes us human. :)

Couldn't figure out how to count two hours of stall mucking, so I put in an hour of raking and an hour of snow shoveling in my exercise log (donkey poo is heavy!!). Great exercise (and fantastic little critters!), but I'm not sure how many people I could convince to try the critter poo workout! :D

Happy Sunday, everyone!

I am beginning to enjoy my "medicine" - good food sure tastes better than pills! :)

I'm about halfway through my weekend cooking session - it's an adventurous one this week. I made some super-high fiber muffins for breakfasts this week. I was holding off on sharing the recipe until I tasted it this morning, and it is absolutely a do-again.

I also started making smoothies for breakfast as well - strawberries, a banana, unsweetened almond milk, nonfat Greek yogurt, and a tablespoon of spirulina - my strawberry smoothie turned a deep forest green! I decided to add the spirulina as an alternative to fish oil, since I don't eat fish... not too bad, but it will take a little getting used to. :)

For this weeks suppers, I tried out my first FS recipe, one by tlcfortigers - Brown Rice and Garbanzo Beans - it was quick and simple, and looks good (I won't know for sure until I eat some tonight). I made a salsa from a recipe in the AHA cookbook with avocado, red onion, cilantro, and lime juice to go with it. As a side dish, I made a slightly modified version of another FS recipe, one by lettygaylor's, Cauliflower Cheese Sticks: totally, totally AWESOME (I tasted a tiny nibble last night) - I subbed in non-fat mozzarella for the full-fat in the original. This is my first "keto" recipe, though I guess I de-keto-ized it by using non-fat cheese...

I like to make soup for lunch, and my choice this week was inspired by a pile of whole wheat matzo bread our local grocery store had on sale - it's hard to beat 25 cents for a ten ounce package of 100% whole wheat crackers! Anyway, I've always been curious about matzo ball soup - I've always loved dumplings! So I began researching matzo ball soup... I ended up designing my own, with a basic veggie soup base, with roast tofu tossed in as a stand-in for the traditional chicken... I borrowed an idea from one of the commenters of one of the recipes I'd read, who suggested adding Asian flavorings like ginger and sesame oil. And I decided to add spinach to the matzo balls... I'll be working on it later on today, as I have one last helping of the minestrone I made last weekend. If it's good, I'll share the recipe.

I love this site, I keep learning so much and people are so friendly and accepting! Anyway, have a happy week!!! :)
