Great Marie. Exactly. My phrase is "do it now".

CALIECAT

What are you cooking today Lin? Anne?

CALIECAT

am cooking my spaghetti squash tomorrow.I found a recipe now need to go and find it.

linder4866

I always have lots of leftovers in the refrigerator but I cooked carrots the morning and have Japanese yams in my little countertop oven right now. Will roast a red onion later. Am thinking of cooking some rice for next week but have some leftover hominy. So haven't decided.

Jacean245

What am I having, MARIE? I'm having a small piece of haddock, a small mashed potato, carrots and peas. Generally for protein I eat fish, eggs and occasionally roast skinless chicken. I envy you and the beans for protein, but I rarely eat them because they give me tummy problems.
Anne.

CALIECAT

Hello MARIE, I'm so glad you are enjoying all the wonderful veggies out there. I've loved them all my life and today I'll be having a parsnip, a potato, broccoli and peas with a little protein for my dinner. Just about every day I start my day with oatmeal sprinkled with a very small amount of walnuts and raisins. This with half a glass of orange juice and my morning coffee and I'm set to go! I think you are doing wonderfully well with the weight. Ive found that at a certain level it is harder to lose so don't despair if you don't shift on the scales. Just think how your body is enjoying all those lovely vegetables. A bonus for me, this diet does wonders for the skin. Look at Lin, her skin looks beautiful!
Anne, hugs.

linder4866

Good day. Sounds like good eats Marie and Anne. I am just having my breakfast/lunch. Steamed broccoli with a cooked mushroom/onion/garlic blend with a wild rice blend. And an APPLE!! Ha, thinking of you Anne and your amazing apple tree.

Jacean245

Yes, amazing trees indeed, last year's season. I'm still eating the apples, although it's the frozen and thawed ones now. So, I've eaten them every day for almost 5 months so far. Probably 2 weeks left, and think of the load I passed on to folks! Eating the red currants as well, just a few sprinkled on the apples because they are more tart for my mid afternoon snack. Anne

I am not cooking plain brown rice but a wild rice blend. I can give you amounts and time if you are interested but it looks like you have found a great old video. I use the DUO 60 which is not the one you and Phoebe are using right??

Anne, that is a huge crop of apples!!

CALIECAT

It really was.

CALIECAT

lin i like wild rice. But have not bought any yet.
Indeed this Ip has brought cooking interest to me again. But I have to watch it or I will have too much cook up. Found a recipe for vegan cornbread today and french fries. I wanted to make it today but had plenty of soup made up and trying to not over cook too much.This store we went to day is not as nice as Traders joe or the other health food store in North Dallas but is closer to home and prices are good.. it is in an old Target store. -M

O My IP is a 6o 7 in 1.

linder4866

Yes, it is easy to cook too much but I keep lots of leftovers in my refrigerator probably longer than most people would. I have it set really cold, almost freezing. Which is hard on the celery from time to time.

CALIECAT

For dinner tonight I am having ranch style beans roasted potatoes and onions, cole slaw made with fat free dressing ranch & ice tea. lots of star but the book said the more you eat of starches the better you loose. So i am taking him up on that. I know they are keeping me full a lot longer.

Kind of relaxing day here.

CALIECAT

Alice and I went out of town today for a nice little trip to East, Texas to see all the really big pine trees Stay on my plan
