Monday grocery run!

I packed a bag of random stuff for lunch this morning because I realized I had almost completely run out of fresh veggies and fruits. That just wont do!

Went to the store and this is some of what I got:

The Fresh Stuff:
Green and red peppers
purple onion
romaine lettuce
carrots
cucumber
broccoli
cabbage
lemons
cutie oranges
bananas
garlic
celery
green onions
bok choy
sweet potatoes
free range bonelss skinless chicken breast
shaved cajun turkey

The Other stuff:
turkey pepperoni
bagel thins
fat free vidalia salad dressing
artichoke hearts
sundried tomatoes
light italian dressing
turkey sausage
egg beaters
sugar free vanilla caramel coffeemate


Yes, I really bought that many fresh veggies and I LOVED the way they looked all piled in the cart and going down the conveyor belt!

This week I intend to have salad, tuna fish, and turkey sandwiches for lunch at work and at night I will marinate chicken breast and do steamed veggies on the side.

I also am going to chop up the cabbage, bok choy, celery, carrot, broccoli, onion, garlic, and green and red peppers and do a stir fry with a tiny bit of olive oil and sesame oil. Right before its done, I'll sprinkle with ginger and white pepper and have it with chicken breast. It's super light and you can make a bunch of it and it reheats nicely.

Might also roast some of the peppers, onions, and sweet potato for a little different take on the side dish. Kinda excited! I was telling Candace earlier today that I have been excited about food in a much different way since starting all of this than I used to. I used to get excited about sweets and how good it was going to feel to binge. Now, it's about trying new things and new ways of cooking and really being joyous knowing that the food I am eating is no longer an agent of harm.

Love to all!
