okay I ended up having an upset tummy (Major gas and bloating) from lunch, I had tried a new kind of refried beans(Amys) It had lower salt than my usual ones but it had more fat..
anyway I think the fat from the beans plus the fat from the chips even though they were low fat was just too much.. needless to say I will go back to my usual non fat refried beans even if they do have more salt.
Cansequently... I ended up just haing potato for dinner and am still a bit unsettled this morning so for breakfast I made a rice dish instead of the country french toast on the menu... I will be trying it out next weekend I think.
anyway breakfast is a new dish i jjust made up
serving for one
Heat heavy frying pan on LOW.
Chop 2 stalks of celery into small pieces and throw in skillet.
Mince 1/4 of a yellow onion. and add to skillet stir together with the celery. Then rough chop 5 0r 6 mushrooms into 1/4 to 1/3 inch chunks and add to skillet give a good stir. stir occasionally till it the onions are translucent cook longer if you want your celery more done .. I like mine still a bit crunchy.
While that is heating through peal 2 tangerines and seperate teh segments then cut each segment into thirds.
Add the tangerine chunks and 1 cup of cooked brown rice to the pan. stir occasionally until the rice is heated through. about 3 minutes.
Serve and enjoy.
Lunch is supposed to be bean sandwhiches but I have left over kidney bean sandwich mix so I will use that if I make sandwhiches.
IT will depend a bit on my tummy... if it is still upset I will be having more rice.
Dinner is farmhouse salad and spagetti Maranara.
okay and I want to share one of the things doing teh regualr Mc dougall plan has really brought home to me is that I have not been eating enough starch. Really I have been holding onto that whole starch makes you fat conversation in my head and it really is not true.
anyway here is the link to day 7 of the meal plan.
http://www.drmcdougall.com/free_5h.htmlOn to more interesting and fun stuff. LOL.
Oddly enough something has sprouted in one of my beds and I have no idea what it is. I suspect it is either a stray pea or possibly a sunflower taht the birds dropped from our bird feeder nearby.
also in one of the other beds teh carrots sprouted which is a surprise as that ground is brrrr really cold even under teh plastic. maybe during the day it is getting warmed up enough.
I weeded the beds and am having high hopes for them. i may need to reseed once things warm up a bit next month ... we will see.
