I've lost 3 more pounds . No more lil debbies . I like cereal ( uncle sams ) with soy milk , but I want to avoid soy milk so I had my cereal as a crunchy topping for my oatmeal today . Not bad kinda like a fruit crisp . I had strawberries in my oatmeal. I want to phase the cereal out and get everything as unprocessed as I can .
I've gotten a few books lately . The engine 2 diet , Skinny bitch in the kitch , and everyday happy herbivore . Skinny bitch is full of oil and fake meat it will be going to goodwill. The everyday happy herbivore looks good has a small blurb from Dr McDougall in the front . I have not flipped through the engine 2 diet yet . I ordered a pressure cooker and vegetarian cooking under pressure yesterday .
I tried butternut squash fries yesterday ....I was going to save some for my husband to try , but they were so good I ate the whole batch . I tried sweet potato lasagna
http://vegetarian.about.com/od/vegetarianlasagnarecipes/r/engine2lasagna.htm a few days ago . It was okay , but I prefer my dishes to star one or two veggies not a bunch mixed together . I did really like the sweet potato spinach layer so I'm thinking I might just have mashed sweet potatoes with spinach later .
I'm doing better with the temptations the non McDougallers are bringing in the house . Hubs brought some snack size butterfingers in a few days ago . I was not thrilled , but I did not eat them . Fruit is starting to feel like desert . If I want something a bit more sweet I have a prune . I never knew I liked prunes lol . The individually wrapped ones from sunsweet are tasty .
I'm trying cannellini bean stew , spicy orange broccoli with rice , and cheezy broccoli and rice casserole this week . Broccoli is one of my favorite veggies. I'll also be having some homemade fries seasoned with garlic and onion powder , and I'll be having the squash fries again .
