Caryl! Yup, this ends Friday!

Emma - Can I tell you how proud I am of you? Your beans and the steak look yummy! You'll eat green beans again, won't you?

This is for everyone, particularly Sherri. This plant came from seeds thrown in the yard. There was only 1 squash on it for the longest time, but now I see a bunch of them! I believe they're ...spaghetti squash! I hope they continue to do well.

Hi, there

For breakfast, I had .88 cups of pumpkin. ( - Silly)

At lunch, I tried a new veggie - zucchini! I sliced it, dipped it in egg, then dipped it in fresh grated parmesan cheese, and fried it. Very good.

For Snacks, I had a serving of sugar snap peas and a cup of jicama.

At dinner, I had a whole small tomato, a whole small cucumber, and a whole small avocado.

Total Net Veggie Carbs for today.... 30

Hello, Everyone

I thought that I would post another one of my favorite recipes from Linda's website. This is not supposed to taste like a potato, so don't count on that. However, I do find it quite delicious! (I use the sour cream rather than the ranch dressing) At times, I've even doubled the recipe and added more bacon to make it into a meal.




"LOADED" CAULIFLOWER
1 cup cooked cauliflower
1 teaspoon butter
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 ounce cheddar cheese, shredded
1 tablespoon ranch dressing or sour cream
1 strip bacon, crumbled
1 teaspoon chives

Butter and season the cauliflower. Place in an individual-serving baking dish, then top with cheese. Microwave or broil until cheese is melted. Top with ranch dressing, bacon and chives.

Makes 1 serving Per Serving: 290 Calories; 25g Fat; 12g Protein; 6g Carbohydrate; 3g Dietary Fiber; 3g Net Carbs

Those look AWESOME! I'm gonna make those tomorrow because oddly enough I have all those ingredients in my house right now!

I was starting to stress about Saturday (I'm going to be on a bus from 8 am Sat until 2 am Sun with our 350 members of our High school band going to Area competition).

Challenge is over Friday, though, right? I can still take my veggies, but if I don't get as high as normal, it will be all right. I should have enough this week to slack just a bit Saturday!

Caryl,
Get up a wee bit early and make yourself a big ol' VEGGIE omelette with high carb veggies like onions and tomatoes and add a couple more like green peppers and mushrooms. That way you can get a bulk of them right off the bat and not have to cart a whole farmers market with you on the band bus.
