6th SemiAnnual Veggie Challenge

Re: 6th SemiAnnual Veggie Challenge

Thanks Mitzi for the concern. I'm fine, just stranded for 3 hours waiting for the tow truck to come change a trailer tire. I didn't bring food since I was going to the STORE so I was really hungry. It made for interesting food shopping. Now I know better. I will always have snacks with me, even if I go down the road

And I'm curious. You say you can't eat radishes. I wonder if cooking them (frying) would change how you react to them?

Re: 6th SemiAnnual Veggie Challenge

Had a nice veggie day
pumpkin (breakfast), left over thai soup with mushrooms (lunch), tomato, mushrooms, lettuce, cucumber and squash with my burger (and ketchup - I think it is a veggie )
22 net
No idea what I am making tomorrow. Plenty of good ideas in this thread. I think I will have a look around.

Re: 6th SemiAnnual Veggie Challenge

Wow, squid? Your food really is interesting... I am impressed.

They had some fresh, cleaned squid tubes at the fish market. Went in for haddock but couldn't resist them.

Sliced them up in rings so they're like naked calamari. The trick is to quick saute them for only a minute or two or they turn into elastics.


Thurs. Nov. 12: 21 net veggie carbs

Breakfast was mashed pumpkin (w/butter, cinnamon) and grilled boneless pork loin chop (minute chop) with a drizzle of SF maple syrup over all.

Lunch: bison burger with roasted red bell peppers and sauteed cremini mushrooms finished with a drizzle of walnut oil.

Supper: Baked haddock with zucchini. Small red lettuce and cuke salad.

Re: 6th SemiAnnual Veggie Challenge

I had radishes for the first time ever today. Not too bad. Are the a little sweet or is it just me?

I don't think radishes are sweet, but have a little bite to them...I like to eat a tomato after a radish, calms my mouth

Re: 6th SemiAnnual Veggie Challenge

Last day, Friday, Nov 13: 29g net veggie carbs

Baked tomato egg nests for breakfast

Spinach & mushroom tortilla for lunch

NEW VEGGIE: grilled leeks for dinner

Although I liked the sound of "leeks and beaks" I thought these really needed a stronger tasting meat. Lamb would have been nice but don't have any. Sooo...had them with spicy chicken livers.

I was hoping to put up pics & recipes with these dishes. Hope to do that later tonight.

Re: 6th SemiAnnual Veggie Challenge

18.5 net grams for me today.

I ate a little green onion, brussel sprouts, radish, avocado, turnips, peppers, and some salad veggies.

I've really enjoyed the challenge this week. It's made me look at veggies in a whole new way! I think I'll try to keep it up for awhile.
