I've been sick this week. Haven't been exercising, but I have been watching what I eat. I've been preparing my meals with heavy emphasis on vegetables. Instead of boiling vegetables, I started roasting them with some meat in the oven in aluminum foil. They seem to taste much better and I don't need as much seasoning. Don't have to use butter at all.
