I made a pot of fresh green beans, whole red potatoes cut in quarters about four rings of fresh onion and approximately a TBS of olive oil. I didnt weigh or measure the beans or potatoes.

I was tracking my sodium which was almost always over the recommended but I decided as much water as I drink, thats not really an issue so I decided to switch and track my fiber for a while.

Now you all can see what I meant about it all being front and center! After…

Weighing 101??

Well I just bought a not so cheap weight tracker scales…
