    Not sure what board to post this on... BUT I was wondering if anyone knows of a salad dressing that is 21 day fix approved that I don't have to actually make.

    @TheFo1dOut I see many coaches and such use dressings from Trader Joe's. So long as the dressing is organic and doesn't have any sugar/salt added, you are fine. Read the labels and go from there. You might also consider going to your local farmer's market and seeing if you can find some organic, local made/grown dressings there.

    @SatiaRenee Thanks for the suggestion! After 3 days of that "creamy herb dressing" I gave up. I talked myself into liking it the first day but man oh man was it bad today. I see they have other dressing recipes but I don't have a lot of time to dedicate to make dressings, nor the resources.

    I loooove the vinaigrette dressings in the book. I would recommend making 1 but only half to see if you like it. I know what you mean about not having the resources but if you look at the recipes, once you've made one, you will have some of the ingredients you need for another. And another.

    Also, go on Pinterest. A lot of people have 21 Fix themed boards there with tons of recipes! I started with 1 dressing (a basic balsamic vinaigrette). I then went out and bought some sesame oil for the Citrus Asian one (which I adore!). The fresh ginger, as it turns out, can be frozen. I peeled the ginger before freezing it and now, whenever I want a dash of fresh ginger, I simply grate what I need and toss the leftover back in the freezer. Then I made the Dijon mustard one. Love that one too. Used it as a marinade too. But I didn't and couldn't make them all at once. Like you, getting all the disparate ingredients would have been too much. Still, over time, I had what I needed to make whatever I wanted and I realized that now we're saving money! My homemade dressings are cheaper than the store ones, especially the healthy, organic ones. And I absolutely know what's in mine and can control everything. Right now I have a garlic vinaigrette in the refrigerator after finishing of a raspberry vinaigrette. So it's really worth it, in the long run, to slowly build up your stockpile of ingredients to make your own.

    Still following the menu given to me by my coach and . . . apparently Jorge Cruise, #1 bestselling author, liked my image. How cool is that?

    B: eggs with turkey, pepper, onion, and salsa
    S: Greek yogurt with a dash of cinnamon and berries
    L: leftover turkey chili
    D: rice and bean "taco" in a lettuce wrap

    @SatiaRenee very cool! But your pics are always so pretty, so I'm not surprised.

    I have a picture today! This was my incredibly delicious and filling dinner - flatout pizza. Remembered that light ricotta cheese was a red, not a blue, so I got to sneak in a little extra cheese! This is 100% whole wheat flatout with a thin layer of ricotta, a thin layer of tomato sauce, sauteed veggies, and ground beef. 1 yellow, 1 red, 1 green. Awesome!

    Yum! I can't seem to find flat outs. Where did you get it?

    Stop and Shop. But it was near the deli, not with the other bread. It is usually kind of hard to find for some reason, they are always moving it.

    I am going to get Rob to look for Flat Out because I really love pizza and our attempts at cauliflower crust have not really fulfilled that desire for me.

    The cauliflower crust sounded way too complicated for a lazy cook like me. I was psyched to find the Flatouts yesterday!

    Here's a link where you can search for Flatout in your area: http://www.flatoutbread.com/find-a-store/where-we-are/

    I picked up Flat Outs at Wegmans...BUUUT that's more of a North-Eastern store, not sure where you're located. Anywho, what is everyone's thoughts on PB2? I personally really enjoy it, mostly because I'm mixing peanut butter into other things and not spreading it....is it approved?

    @TheFo1dOut I loveee my PB2... especially in chocolate and vanilla Shakeology. Autumn does recommend using regular peanut butter instead, because of the health fats in it.

    I absolutely LOVE PB2! I am not using it in place of my teaspoons, because it doesn't have enough of the healthy fats we need. But I put a little into my Shakeology each day...that's my "off-plan" treat...it's so low calorie, I'm not worried about it.

    Cauliflower crust? Sounds interesting. Would you mind sharing more about it?

    My lunch for the week : Roasted chicken and veggies with brown rice. Ended up making the brown rice for my yellow instead of red potatoes :). 1 yellow, 1.5 red, 2 green. Fruit is grapes or apples on the side (1 or 2 red) which will depend on what I put in my shake ology in the mornings.
