I boil beets...and after they cool off...i sprinkle with salt and snack :)

 

then the left overs...I save the juice and the left over beets and use them in my salads for the next few days and also the juice and some beet in my protein shake

 

i always hated beets growing up but i"m learning to like them

 

now I found out you can eat the leaves and the stems so i recently used them in my omelet and put it in stew...really good for you and gives it some color.

Skinny Cow ice cream bars. Oh my....where have these been all my life??

 

I used to think I hated fish....turns out I actually love fish. Tilapia.....I could eat that every single day.

 

Kale was an interesting adventure. It wasnt awful......but it wasnt really good either. I prefer spinach.

 

I bought an amazing frying pan and now I can have a fried egg.....with nothing added, no butter, not even no-stick spray. It just slides right out.

 

Turkey bacon.....hmmmm.....the jury is still out. The family had regular bacon in front of me. It is hard to be objective while pouting.

 

Hellmans light mayo......who knew that light tasted just like the full fat stuff? What a pleasant surprise!

 

Tzasiki (greek yogurt, cucumber, garlic and dill) tastes just as good as a spread in place of butter.

ritz crackers in place of crisps

 

Greek salad with feta cheese in place of all my favourite cheeses.

 

Roasted veg with oregano herb sprinkled - much nicer then boiled.

MUST HAVE items for my kitchen at all times:

 

unsweetened almond milk for my protein shakes (though I just bought cashew milk and love it even in my coffee)

fresh and frozen fruit for my shake

protein powder for my shake

 

I usually have 1 shake a day...unless I am eating a lot of protein that day or decide to just eat my fruit

 

Egg whites--necessity

fresh veggies...use them in omelettes for breakfast, salads for lunch, and big plate of veggies for dinner..so I go through a whole LOT of veggies.

 

 

nuts--Cashews, peanuts, almonds, walnuts

 

Organic peanut butter

 

Ezekiel bread or english muffins (in freezer)

[Leanna]

Cashews!

 

I forgot how much I love cashews and I have to stop myself from overindulging. Nom!

[scottinpa]

cashews yes!!!

But I could not drink the cashew milk.. Yuck!!!

I will stick to almond and coconut milk.

Usually it's spinach but this week it was kale.  Will be going back to kale in salads and as chips on Monday.  I like spinach in the smoothies much more.

[babs609]

roasted brussel sprouts...yum!

 

I can't wait till jersey fresh veggies come out.........another month and it's Asparagus time!  I swear I eat about 10 lbs a week of it.  It's only in season for less than 2 months so I eat it constantly

[Colleen]

[Leanna]

Almond butter, coconut oil, and almond milk. I am trying to add more spinach and kale into my life, but they both do weird things to my digestive system. I don't know what's up with that!

[Leanna]

That sounds so good!
