Omg that looks gaw-juss!!
I am dragging myself towards the greens, fighting myself every step 😝
I washed, cut, and prepped a mountain of greens for salad today. It took so long tho, I warmed up tomato and cheese soup that I'd made earlier in the week, for hubby and I, cuz I was stah-ving!
Tomorrow! Promise ... Salad on the agenda 🤣🥗tatilove1988 wrote: »Busy weekend guys. Did I mention I had two toddlers and a baby? 😅

Green Leaf lettuce
Kale
Cilantro
Carrot shavings
Cherry tomatoes
Wet add-ins have:

Wowww!!! Now that’s a salad!
Hubby said too many things for his own sake lol. He’d rather have that tomato cheese soup 🤪 at least he loves salads, that’s lovely. In my home, I’m the only salad eater 😩
I know it’s a lot more motivating to eat healthy if others in the household also eat healthy, so you could make salads that you know hubby will also enjoy.
I love the mix of green and red cabbage, but for the lettuce, you could pick one type, one type of cheese, one or two types of berry/fruit.
I loooove the addition of pumpkin seeds in your salad. I might try that as well.
Super proud of you MaryK. A picture? 👀

I have the same problem in the app (sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t), so when I want to insert a picture, I go on the site directly. On your phone the MyFitnessPal mobile site will look almost identical to the app.1 -
@tatilove1988 .... Thankyouuuuuuuuui!!!!! 😊😊😊😊😊
I'm still working on my salad. Lol. Hubby's been done with his double/triple sized one for quite awhile.
(And I skipped the egg and the avocado, too, bc I already had eggs today, and bc I don't love avocado (hubby does tho )., )
Lol I really needed your thread, even if I'm not using it properly.
I'll try (to add the pix) on the full site later tonite. I took pic of the dry ingredients prepped in the containers, then the wet ingredients added on top (separated by Saran wrap), AND the sacks of greens, and hubbies triple sized salad, AND my single sized salad lol
Took them all (pix) for you 🥰1 -
PS - I really don't love veggies ... Can you tell? 🤣0

My salad - I do NOT love said, lol. This is a regular sized plate 🤪 -

Beautiful looking salad. I’d love to eat a mix of your salad and your husband’s posted previously. I like my greens as much as the rest.
I also love the way you prepped all your veggies and other salad ingredients. It makes it easy to grab something when hungry. Also when everything is ready for you, it makes it easier fight off junk food cravings.
Good job!!!
@SafariGalNYC Good on you for still whipping up a quick smoothie despite being in a hurry. I must say I never thought of adding artichokes in my smoothies. How was it?
