Brought to you… By you!

So below, I give you… Your own words. =) Knowledge is power. Go cook something new this weekend!

1. Grilled/roasted veggies are my all time favorites. Simple, unprocessed and tasty!

8. Avocado + Concord Foods Guacamole mix (http://www.concordfoods.com/guacamole/) sold at Safeway and Giant + optional tomatoes + optional squeeze of lime juice. 

9. Carrots + Trader Joe's tahini dip.

10. No-sugar miniwheat cereal from Trader Joe's + skim milk + sliced bananas.

11. One bag spring mix + 4 oz. goat cheese + handful sliced almonds + handful dried cherries + a couple spoonfuls of dressing mix of 3 parts oil 1 part apple cider vinegar.

12. Chana masala:
1 15-oz can of chickpeas, drained (or 2 cups of cooked chickpeas)
2 cups cubed cooked potato (russet is good, or I use frozen hash browns with no added ingredients)
~8 oz tomato sauce (or a couple of diced tomatoes or other equivalent)
half a small onion, diced
a garlic clove or two, smashed and chopped
garam masala
sugar
salt

Heat ~1 tablespoon of oil in a large saucepan and saute onion, garlic, and garam masala (start with half a tablespoon of garam masala and work your way up) until the onions are soft. Stir in vegetables. Sprinkle about half a tablespoon of sugar over the mixture and maybe a teaspoon of salt; taste and adjust seasonings as needed. If it's really dry, add more tomato sauce or other liquid.

13. Vegetarian burritos. Rice, black beans, salsa, guacamole, sometimes cheese.

15. Scrambled eggs with stir-fried veggies, especially broccoli, onion, tomato, maybe spinach.

Shame Eating

I found the above image on the interwebs and it always makes me laugh. All.the.time. It's kinda true though, right? IF you've ever had any kind of food addiction then you know the sweet sweet embrace of "one more" handful of kettle corn (ahem), or "one more" piece of bread, or whatever . I was joking with my co-worker that I might as well be shame eating out of the Costco-sized bag of Kettle corn on my counter in the dark, licking the sweet and salty remnants off my fingers. That I can't be trusted alone with it. That I grab a bigger-than-small bowl and PILE it up, lamenting the few rogue pieces that make it to the floor. Another colleague overheard us and said she used to do that with angel food cake. She would sit it on the passenger side and just drive, picking at the fluffy confection. I know a girl who could knock out an entire family size container of Sara Lee pound cake. So friends, those are a few confessions. Using the powers of anonym

Not really proud...

(Redhead's Note: Please forgive anything that's more lame than normal, or anything that sounds weird; I'm on a constant regimen of cough syrup...) I started getting a chest tickle on the 8th, which quickly escalated to a hacking cough, and now 6 days later has my left nostril clogged. I'm sick. Lame sauce, I know. When I'm sick I'm kind of a pathetic being: I get whiny, I'm tired all the time, I'm fairly selfish ("Your car died?? But... But...  I'm sick ....") * - it's not a pretty sight. What else tends to happen is I will eat a lot. I'm not one of those people that gets sick and doesn't eat for 3 days. Oh if only! Nope, I'm that girl that gets sick and will find every last semblance of comfort food, and vacuum it up into my sick mouth hole. Handful of chocolate chips? Don't mind if I do. A small-ish spoon of Nutella? Yes please? 4 lbs of bread? Why don't mind if I do! Thankfully the only real example f

All of it burns. All of it.

Sooo for those of you who don't know, I went to the gym yesterday! Woohoo! And just to prove it wasn't all talk, here are some pictures to describe how I feel today: Yep. That's about where I am right now. It took a "little" longer than normal to sit on the commode this morning after I woke up, and I was cursing the day that we bought a townhome with 3 flights of stairs . I've started tracking my workouts on Fito again, and I have to say it's really satisfying to get points. I mean, it's not like the points mean anything, but it still brings some silly joy when a robot calculates your workout and then you're awarded points which eventually lead to you leveling up. Also as a point of accountability: behold my workout from yesterday! :) Ow. That lovely little workout earned me 246 points and some super sore muscles. I'm going to go back today because I know working out more will help, but ugghhh. Not really looking forward
