Good morning healthy peeps!
Well, day 3 of being back on track after the Reunion! We had a slight cold front come in yesterday, so I decided to break out the ol' crockpot for dinner tonight. I'm making a beef & veggie soup/stew. It's got lean stew meat, a few small red potatos, stewed diced tomatos, corn & green beans, beef stock & a low sodium seasoning packet. I bought all the canned veggies with no salt added. I may make a small pan of cornbread. This morning for breakfast I had Special K with berries cereal, a banana & I'm on my 2nd cup of coffee with fat free vanilla creamer. Lunch today will be Subway. I am craving a spinach salad with the seafood mix with all the veggies... no dressing, just a lil' pepper. As long as I eat it as a salad it's not too bad ~ it's only 7 points  After dinner, we are going to the park to walk. The crisp, cool air makes walking a lot more enjoyable! I still haven't weighed in yet... tomorrow is the day! I'm already bracing myself for a gain since I have been kinda lax for a couple weeks. But, I'm back on track... so let's do this thing! Hope everyone has a great day! |

After grabbing my salad from Subway, I went home at lunch today, to add the veggies to the crockpot. Let me tell you my soup is smelling YUMMY! I thought it was gonna be more like a stew... but I guess I added too much water/stock. That's ok... I'm more of a soup person anyway. Tomorrow, the seasonings will have soaked in and it will be even more tasty!
I still haven't ventured off to look for holiday receipes yet.... but have been kinda kicking around different options in my head. Ever since Thinker mentioned Pumpkin Pie and Sunshine mentioned Sweet Potato Pie, I've got those flavors on my brain. I might have to break down & see if I can find at least a sugar free or fat free pumpkin creamer for my coffee Just from being back on track for the last 3 days, I can already tell a difference with how my body feels. When I eat crap or don't drink enough water, I feel sluggish. I guess the saying is right, "you are what you eat". Luckily, I'm back on track & feeling 100% better already.... mind & body! |

Since several folks have mentioned pumpkin type things, I'll share one of mine. Winter squashes are on my list of "Human Rocket Fuel" items, so I eat this all the time. It's approximate since I use metric; Cooked, mashed Butternut squash, 1 cupish Agave nectar or honey, 1-1.5 teaspoonish Cinnamon, lots (or maybe pumpkin pie spice  )Salt, just a pinch moosh this all up and make it hot Top with walnut pieces 1/2 ounce (15g)

Side note on the cooked squash thing;
steamed, too squishy baked, too much work/electricity I just nuke'em whole, poke it a couple of times with a fork. On high 6-8 minutes, let it sit 15-30, flip and repeat. Scoop out the good stuff, stays great in the fridge for days. I've been known to forget it was sitting in the micro for half a day at a time. No harm done. Very forgiving stuff this. Also good lots of other ways, herbs and such.

Question for the gormet cooks out there....
I've read somewhere that some people mash califlower as a substitute for mashed potatos. Lemme hear your thoughts and/or comments on this! **see, more holiday options** |
