sheet/pan veggies should still work with frozen veggies! You just throw whatever mix of veggies you want in a bowl(I like green beans, onion, tomato, green/red/orange pepper, eggplant, summer squash/zucchini), toss with olive oil, salt, pepper, italian seasoning, etc. Spread it out on a foil covered cookie sheet, and throw in the oven at ~375 for 40-50 minutes. You can also cook up ground sausage(or cut up cooked links) and throw it in with the veggies to give it even more flavor. I have to say it tastes better with the sausage!
Christine - I 200% agree. Roasted veggies are the best. I start with sweet potatoes and carrots. They are harder veggies and need an extra 7 minutes. Then I throw on my softer vegetables- onions, zucchini, summer squash, green beans and bell peppers. I use olive oil and pepper for seasoning, though I’ll throw on a little Italian Seasoning if I want a bit extra flavor. But I’ve found that the oven roasting makes everything so sweet and carmelized that they don’t really need much. And yes - adding some chicken sausage (Trader Joe’s has lots of choices) makes it a delicious healthy meal.2 -

@simbersea hmmmm! Sweet potato! I also need to find a good chicken sausage! I'm not sure how far away Trader Joe's is from me, but I will have to check it out!

OK... yall making these roasted veggies sound really good! Enough veggies has always been a weak spot for me, especially cooked they get mushy and just no. But yall have inspired me to give roasting a go.2 -
So, I ended up *not* roasting veggies for my lunch, and played around with eggplant, tomatoes and mozzarella cheese. I ate two of these for my lunch, and it has left me pretty full! I need to change it a little next time, the eggplant was a little too watery!
Tonight will be a mixed veggie and tilapia dinner(and maybe another one of these babies as another side!), and I will be cutting up veggies for roasting, tomorrow!3 -

I am here, but this month has been a absolute struggle for me. I have been super busy. I am in a food rut. I ran out of low cal balanced ideas. The produce at the store lately has been crap. So I have resorted to comfort foods and my weight shot straight up.
I can tell it has an impact on my mood as well.
I am trying today to get back to planning and staying away from the Doritos. Everytime this happens I feel like I should quit because I am not helping the team to be the biggest loser and I haven't been a good co captain or cheerleader for the team. But tbeing on the team helps me remember to get back up.
Brandi, I am so grateful for all your help in keeping us on track! It's a lot of work, but it is most appreciated. This is a difficult time right now but I know you can get back in the swing of things...just one day at a time.
@richmondwriter Thank you.
I am looking forward to starting the new month and getting back on track.1 -

Ugh, not sure what happened. I feel like my workouts have been spot on, but I know my sugar has been on the high side even though I'm within my calories. Definitely was not expecting to gain a pound and a half.
I feel like we're in a good flow with home schooling. Now we just need to survive the next 4 weeks. There's light at the end of the tunnel, at least for that.
You have been doing all the right things. This fluctuation is not unusual. Just keep doing what you're doing and it will pay off soon!2 -

My ultimate goal is to complete the MUAC on a daily and I'm starting to notice that if I don't complete the water challenge or my personal Intermittent Fasting challenge, most likely I'm not staying under calories for the day. I'll keep a closer eye on this through May...
