That's funny Carla, I don't know if we talked about them. They are the latest craze on the E2 FB group. Lots of different recipes floating around. A lot of people make them in a skillet or broil them. I do have a Foreman grill too, maybe I'll dig it out and try 'em on that. I need to get a grill pan one of these days. I got rid of my propane grill some years ago too. I hadn't used it in a couple years and when I decided to grill a basket of veggies one day and uncovered it, I discovered chipmunks had made nests in it!

Those burgers look awesome, bookmarked.

I have a full blown cold. Woke up in the middle of the night coughing and head all stuffed up. I think my body has been fighting it all week and finally lost the battle. I slept in, went to the office for about 6 hours, came home early. Going to eat a little something and go to bed. Thinking of maybe making a pot of the On the Mend Red Lentil Kale Soup from OSG. That stuff does make me feel better, and it doesn't take long to make. I don't have any fresh kale or spinach for it, but I have plenty of power greens. I can throw a couple big handfuls of that in there, or use frozen kale, pretty sure I have a couple bags stashed.

Not as good a day as usual... had an upset stomach. Probably the dayquil shots did that.

B - a little bit of oatmeal, didn't taste good with this cold and put it away for tomorrow
L - ate a bit of my salad, then a bunch of crackers lol
D - soup if I get off my duff and make it

Soup turned out good. I ended up with power greens since my frozen kale was "best by" about a year ago. It probably would still be okay but thought it would make the soup watery. I need to do an overhaul of my freezers and throw out some stuff. I slept about 12 hours off and on, feeling a bit better. Going to run to the grocery and get that out of the way so I can prep tonight or tomorrow. Then working from home today so I can go back to bed as needed.

Getting back to the Y is awesome Lia!

Can't wait to see your latest yarn creation Carla. I love the Ezekiel bread too.

Nice when you have leftovers and don't have to fuss over cooking for a day or two (or 3 or 4!!!) ... caught an awesome price on organic store-brand chickpeas and black beans this morning, 4 cans for $3. Got 8 of each. I feel your pain on the freezer lol. I have the small freezer that's part of the fridge, then a small chest freezer. The chest freezer tends to get things piled on it too. There are no flat surfaces in my house that aren't covered in books, pots and pans that haven't found their way back into the cabinets yet, cookbooks and printed recipes and (mostly expired) coupons, etc.

Especially the books. Good grief I have a lot of books and I got rid of probably 10 boxes worth a few years ago! I have trouble parting with them. If I enjoyed them it's like tossing away an old friend. The kindle helped a lot, at least it has kept most of my latest acquisitions from piling up more.

Feeling quite a bit better. Slept more today. Cough is mostly gone just still really congested and tired.

B - toast and some blueberries
L - soup, always tastes better the second day
D - probably more soup, and maybe a baked potato with some steamed broccoli

I think I will plan to overhaul both freezers on Tuesday night, since garbage collection is Wednesday.

Wow, Carla!!! Awesome loss! You are rocking it! The batteries died in my scale (maybe logging in those big numbers for so long wore them out haha!) and I haven’t got around to replacing. I am half in mind not to replace until the end of the 6 weeks so I don’t get to focusing too much on the scale.

Funny about the greens for sure. I am having to stop several times a week to replenish my containers of arugula, spinach, power greens. I use them as a base under all my steamed veggies or on a flat with oil-free hummus, etc. I go through at least half a 5 oz. container a day. I don’t know for sure that I’m eating an entire pound each of fresh and cooked veggies, but I am eating a LOT of veggies. LOL on the bean powered train.

That is so scary about the fires! I am glad your friend was able to get there with her horses and that you have a place that can keep them safe until things are under control. Can’t imagine how much worry that is for you with friends and family in the area.

Welcome back from vacation Karrie. Glad you had fun. Yay for another team member on the 6 week plan!

B – oatmeal and greens cooked in water with a few blueberries and a couple walnuts
L – big bowl with arugula, steamed kale/cauliflower/broccoli, spoonful of roasted corn, black beans, salsa
D – whole wheat sandwich thin with homemade E2 hummus, steamed asparagus, baby spinach, watermelon

The summer watermelon overload is on. I bought one Saturday, then my boss brought me one today! I am going to be eating a LOT of watermelon this week. I do realize I’m overdoing the starches slightly for the 6 week plan. Need to rein it in. I do love summer corn though, and I just use a little bit to add that roasted corn flavor to my salads and bowls.
