Lindsey pizza is something I haven’t made in a few months so I will need to make one soon. I love black olives on pretty much anything. Yesterday I made the zucchini corn fritters from vegan8 with the lemon pepper sauce. They are so tasty...it’s the smoked paprika that really brings a great flavour. Also made the fries from Brand New Vegan where you first boil the spuds for 5 minutes then add the spices before baking. The family really enjoyed them and I have lots of leftovers. I made oat berry bars which are from Jaroudi family on YouTube. They are very easy to make, but I wouldn’t say it’s my favourite sweet treat. I lost 1.5 pounds this week. My goal is to get 13,000 steps in a day and I hit that target. The lunch I enjoy the most and could eat every single day is a big rice bowl which is some brown rice, lots of lettuce, peppers, red onion, any other vegetable. Adding a chopped up date or some mint adds a great twist also. For me it’s about the sauce and I am now addicted to tahini dressing. I just thin it out with lemon juice, water, vinegar and a splash of maple.
Sue, I agree I’m not sure about how to track compliance either. Lately I have found if I just focus on adding more veggies and fruits (as opposed to removing things) I make better progress. I suppose I could at least keep track of how many servings I get each day, but have not done that yet. I can also improve on the snacking. It still seems I have a couple evenings a week where I just eat and eat to beyond being full and then I regret it. I wondered if this happens because I haven’t eaten enough during the day. Will need to pay more attention to figure that one out.
This week I plan to make chickpea patties, I will let you know how they turn out. I have found a local pickleball club so hope to get playing more again this week. It’s my new addiction Hope everyone’s week is great.
