@tsazani - agree! Berries are my favorite candy!! Just plain.. :)

Following this... I drink way too much coffee. Like 4-5 cups per day or more.. (usually black) I don’t feel any buzz from it at all.. it’s like water. I’m probably just so used to it. Slowly going down to 1-2 cups per day.. Sigh.

I use my vitamix for eveeeeerything.

A rainy day early dinner. Broiled Salmon, carrots, broccoli, sprouts, snap peas, chickpeas .. a little evoo and lots of herb love.

@snowflake954 I cannot wait to try this!!! 😋 Thanks!! 😉

Went out to eat tonight. Rack of lamb and Branzino. The Branzino was baked in parchment paper and it was soooo good. Going to have to try baking in parchment next.

Yum!!!! That was parsley!!!!! Lol

Some sweet recipes I use: Chia pudding - I use with vanilla & FlaxMilk. Sometimes I add in berries or dragonfruit. Cottage cheese and berries Dragonfruit custard - dragonfruit, coconut milk, sweetener Baked pears or baked apples with ricotta topping Any sorbet - fruit or vegetable of choice .. make purée, add fruit or…

I was gifted some oat groats and oat bran.... so I simmered it up with some vanilla, blackberries and blueberries... the blackberries disintegrated 😬 🤷🏼‍♀️

Hi @snowflake954 😉! This made his day. He is missing the produce back home. To him, nothing beats the melanzane Or carciofi from his Nonna Mafalda’s garden. He asked if it is melanzane al pesto? Menta? 🤗

This 👆🏻 - fruit has fiber in it and once I started focusing on fruit for my sweet treats I found I was eating less sugar overall. (Except for dates — I have a hard time monitoring medjool dates. Lol)

@snowflake954 That eggplant looks amazing!

Zero fat or less saturated fat to lower cholesterol and LDL? You can track grams of saturated fat in MFP .. My fam members watching their cholesterol focus on fish, lean poultry & vegetables. They also include apples - good source of pectin and steel cut oat meal for beta glucans. (Absorbs cholesterol in intestines.) They…

@ladyoftherocks I’m a foodie surrounded by foodies in foodie cities. (NYC & Rome) I think nothing of driving an hour for a specific ingredient or ordering an exotic herb just to see how it tastes. I like taking pretty photos of food..I love trying vegetables and all sorts of food from from around the world.. you are not…

@goldyray1 - sometimes I pack my lunch. Sometimes I go to a local restaurant. When I pack my lunch - anything goes. Sometimes leftovers. Last week it was smoked salmon and avocado with greens. Chicken and vegetables. Omelette. Also some berries maybe and a lot of the time I take my green shakes to go. (Mostly spinach,…

Broiled salmon, broccoli, chickpeas, whole farro & carrots A spritz of Evoo and a lot of love in the herb dept ☺️

Biggest pet peeve : once you hit 40...oh no! It’s so hard to stay in shape. Creak creak. 🤦🏼‍♀️ Not true. I live in a world with a ton of 40+ People who are in top shape and work at it daily. (And are creak and crinkle free.)

Olive oil gelato or fresh fig gelato - Il Labratorio Del Gelato - downtown Manhattan. 😋

Peanut/nut butter Cottage cheese Egg salad Tuna salad Greek yogurt Whey/protein shakes Nutritional yeast - add 2 tablespoons to any savory food for a boost in protein. Fish - high protein/low fiber

@glassyo The Big Chill in LA Interestingly - in the last week // it’s gotten 2k plus 5 star reviews…

TGIF all! A spring inspired breakfast today. 🌿 Violet cauliflower, Yellow pepper, Provençal sausage, evoo and a generous helping of herbs de Provence and a sprig of lavender...

@AnnPT77 - these are lovely!!! 🌿 🥬

I’ve been reading about this and following here and there on Twitter. I thought it was a bit hypocritical of her to bully a shop into changing their marketing. That turned me off .. if she really wanted to have a convo about it.. she has a platform to further the conversation in a positive way. I wish she had brought it…

Cold brew Matcha tea is great..! Lots of recipes...there is the basic just ground leaves and water.. but you can make lattes .. and try cinnamon and herbs.. it’s pretty versatile. 🍵

I spend the most on seafood, spices and vegetables.

Whenever I’ve done IF — I’ve still tracked all calories. Ramadan is coming up — fasting between sunrise and sundown is observed — many observers I know still track. Just a different eating window.

Love this! @snowflake954

That pan fried fish looks awesome!

Downtown NYC here ... suits, suits and more suits! They are everywhere lol my friends on Wall St think this is blasphemy. ☺️

Add each known ingredient a la carte.. some will be an estimate .. but better than nothing! Rice Coconut rice Meat skewers Veggie spirals? Dipping sauce
