    Yum @mkksemail - wondering what you mean Monday 'ci'?

    Shopping score of the weekend was mangos, so fresh to enjoy and will freeze up the extra after I get them ripened a bit. Pups were rock hard.

    Yes it does look fresh and delish, yakky!!

    Wednesday ci! I had a Hogwarts challenge that included making food from Great Britain, so I made Beans on Toast :p. (I love Beans! and srsly, guys, Trader Joe's has killer bread. So. Damn. Good.) I added (olive-oil) fried (charred, like I like 'em!) diced tomatoes, and eggs. UK says 1 serving of Beans counts for 1 of the Five a Day :D. The diced tomatoes def count!

    Will be having a green juice and nuts later, too.

    Oh, added an additional 'Sweet Greens' juice for a late night snack, last night, too.

    Hi Greenie Team!

    I was out of town for funeral and celebration of life for a beautiful matriarch this past weekend. Back yesterday, but wiped out today! I did get some freg in while gone - but I was in NY so I also fit in some NY pizza and bagel in, too! (ofc ;-) )

    Celery juice on deck today, so far (Raw generation, Morning Celery Juice -celery,lemon). We'll see about dinner. Will make sure there's some freg in the mix. Xx

    Loving those pix, yakky!!!

    Watched Julia Child episode - Idea - Imagine. Imagine this as a bowl of liver pate. Saute onions and garnish top of bowl along edge with a ring of saute onions.

    Could use that in so many ways - over anything dense - with hummus, refried beans, chili, stew. With other vegs included such as peppers, a mire poix or sofrito - pretty and tasty in my imagination. Drooling! lol

    Shatibg my Freggie Focus / Annual physical & 6-mo checkup in labs victory - thank you, Greenie Team!!

    I had my annual physical today. Doc is very pleased with improvements in labs, from focusing on freggies. A1C now normal, chol now normal, metabolic panel looks great, TSH normal, too. Triglycerides just above normal. I've never had a Triglycerides high reading until last Nov. Eight days post-covid infection, they were double the previous 125s. Somewhere in the 250s. This one was 166 (high threshold is 150). She didn't seem too worried. Next labs in a yr, instead of 6 mos 👍.

    Now I just have to marry my freggie focus to trying to stay inside calories again. I stopped worrying about calories while I was focusing on quality of food intake.

    Doc said you can be healthier while or heavy if your food quality is high, than you are if you're normal weight and your food quality is low - and my labs are telling the story of focusing on freggies all fall and winter, she said! Yay :)
