Okay, back from an extremely busy weekend. I may not remember everything for Saturday, but I have most of it. We attended a seminar by my GYN, who follows Dr. McDougall. It was on weight loss, so I learned a few new things. But he had me share because I was a testament for him so far, so it was all good!
Saturday:
B: 4 slices of a fairly large potato with a NM Chili seasoning. (at the seminar), 6 grapes, a piece of honey dew and cantaloupe and 1/2 cup coffee flavored water.
B: at home about 2 hours later with my husband, so I guess you can call it "brunch". 1/2 hemp bagel with tofutti "cream cheese" mixed with NM hot green chili, with capers, onions and tomato on top and 1/2 sprouted grain wheat bagel with the same. Cup of REAL coffee.
Later in the afternoon when got hungry: Medium golden potato.
D: Salad with chickpeas, zucchini, shredded carrots, romaine lettuce, and I made this cool dressing, if you want to call it that. I smashed some of the chickpeas, mixed them with lemon and some Mrs Dash seasoning... OH WOW!! Better than any store bought for sure!! Ever since Bob talked about the dressings, he had me thinking and I had my "creative cap" on this weekend and it worked out so well!!
Sunday
Sunday's are the day my hubby and I get to actually sit and eat a nice relaxing breakfast together, so we always try and make it "special" and New Mexican in flavor. So I made some red chili sauce from our Reestra, NM hots. It came out great, you can do the same using a powder from of red chili. If some of you want me to post it let me know and I would be more than happy too!
B: Seasoned cubed potatoes, then a mix of pinto beans, shredded zucchini, chopped portabello mushrooms, and some cabbage, with cumin, garlic powder, and hot paprika. 3 corn tortillas, lightly warmed. And of course served with my red chili sauce, drizzled over everything. YUM!!!
L: Golden baked potato with side salad. Same as yesterday though, slightly different dressing, still with chickpeas and lemon, but this time I used a different Mrs Dash and added artichokes!
D: SUSHI!!!!! I LOVE SUSHI!!! Asparagus roll, cucumber roll, vegetable roll and miso soup. And GREEN TEA!! Love my green tea!
TODAY:
B: Leftover breakfast mix from yesterday over a golden backed potato.
Mid morning: Golden baked potato
L: Salad with zucchini, carrots, tomato, chickpeas, artichokes, and my artichoke dressing, and two home made felafel patties.
D: ... don't know yet darn it!! Didn't get to menu planning this weekend.
Have a great day everyone!!
