Completed Betty Rocker week 2!!
My food is steadily going down hill with a lack of time and resources... I'm sort of paying for unavoidable stuff, meaning the food I normally buy is too expensive and I'm stuck eating whatever's being cooked in the household. My "I hate wasting food" is mixing with "my family cooks too much and is too picky about leftovers" with "I'd like to eat healthy, but I like to eat conveniently first."
I can say my breakfasts have at least been healthy, but I'm getting significantly less fresh salads and steamed veggies in my diet the past week and a half and I can feel its effects on my body.
So, for this week... My goal is to have vegetables in all of my meals.
feasting at home: Skillet Baked Steel Cut Oats w/ Maple Glazed Apples I'm addicted to this stuff, and it lasts all week, so I'm making a big batch of that with finely shredded carrots and pumpkin added to it.
I'm mixing up some cottage cheese, frozen spinach thawed, fresh basil, parsley, and oregano from the garden and making a vat of that to have with crackers for when I get hungry between meals
A big bowl of cole slaw for some quick salad-like side dish veggie or a snack
Bean-and-rice based cereals and bean-cooked desserts
Steamed bags of vegetables to eat hot with noodles or rice and soy sauce and mentsuyu to dip them in.
Gathering up the ingredients for my favorite salad--miso ginger dressing with mixed greens, cabbage, and broccoli slaw and chow mein noodles..
and my other favorite salad: applegate chicken nuggets chopped up and tossed in wing sauce, blue cheese yogurt dressing, and mixed greens
Oh, I almost forgot!
Really awesome thing I found:
Easy Breakfast Recipe: Banana Split with Yogurt and Jam
Banana split that's good for you
Yes plz! I was thinking they have chocolate-flavored and honey-flavored yogurts.. why not stick it in the freezer for an hour or so and let it firm up and get cold, then it really will taste like ice cream!
And instead of chocolate sauce, some hazelnut butter would go great on top.
