Re: 5th Semi Annual Veggie Challenge!

On Tues. the 5th I had 28 net carbs from lettuce, grape tomatoes, cucumber, bullrushes, wild chives, kidney beans mushrooms and celery. (I'm on pre-maintentance so I'm allowed beans).

Mitzi, I love the veggie quiz although I don't know what half of them are, but I'm enjoying reading the answers!

Re: 5th Semi Annual Veggie Challenge!

Tomatillos are not actually on the 'list' but I am sure they would be an acceptable vegetable. The swiss chard is actually expensive and I can't get excited about trying it...I have never tried a tomatillo outside of a salsa so I think I will get a couple and try stir-fry /saute-ing them with garlic.

Rhubarb is 10 dollars a pound in the store here, how ridiculous is that? or I would try that one!

GREEN BEAN alert.. they make a great 'snacky' food if you follow the roasted green bean recipe in the back of DANDR. They really don't come out like a side dish, but a finger food snack type thing.. very yummy... try only to eat a cupful's worth though!

Re: 5th Semi Annual Veggie Challenge!

Will get my totals for yesterday posted later, I fell asleep soooo early last night, feeling like crud. Gotta love going from drinking coffee all day to having none! I did manage to get all my veggies in though and I've already had breakfast today

Good morning everyone,
Veggie Carbs yesterday May 5th 22.4

Tried a new veggie

Roasted fennel with olive oil and parmesan cheese - the kids wouldn't try it but I thought it was great - so they will be trying it in the future.
It was expensive $ 4 a bulb so I will look at Superstore and the Farmer's Market to see if I can get a better price - I also assume this isn't "Fennel Season".

Hello, sweeten

I sure wish that you had found us earlier! As stated at the beginning of this thread:

"Sign up will start on Monday, April 27th and run through Sunday, May 3rd. NO ONE WILL BE ABLE TO SIGN UP AFTER MAY 3rd! This award is earned by meeting your minimum EACH DAY, so you will not be able to join late."

As you can see, the deadline for entering this challenge was Sunday, May 3rd... the requirement for the challenge was to eat a minimum of 12 net veggie carbs (if you are in Induction) EACH DAY of the challenge, which is running from Monday, May 4 through Friday, May 8.

I do appreciate your interest! Please feel free to visit this thread often, and take part in the discussions. I'm sorry that I won't be able to give you an award, though. But, by all means, please make yourself at home here!
