Food & Day Three

So it's day 3, as mentioned above, and all I think about is food.


Not like I haven't always thought about food, or eating it anyway. I have a family to feed. So my brain is always running dinner, school snacks and whattheheckamIgonnafeedthesepeopleallweekend ideas through it. Then I became a vegetarian. In addtion to my regular scheduled food time I now have to plan additional meals, unless I just want to eat potatoes, noodles or rice for dinner, which I have done in the past. Now that I have joined WW that isn't gonna fly. So I think about food even more.


As much as it can sometimes be totally stressful, it's making me try new things. I love chopping and cooking and tasting(this ones my fave) new food.


My totally awesome Momma gave me a subscription to Vegetarian Times magazine for my birthday and I got my first issue last month. In true procrastinator fashion I tried out my second recipe from the mag this week Brussel Sprouts with Walnuts and Dried Cranberries. Even if you're not really a fan of brussel sprouts try this. They were amazing! I wanted to eat the whole freakin' pan, instead I saved some for lunch the next day.

A few things:

• I'm not normally a fan of nuts, I threw them in anyway (cause they're supposed to be good for you and all that) and they tasted excellent.

• If you over cook it a little eat it anyway, still yum.

• I couldn't find agave syrup at my grocery store so I used honey (which may break the rules if you're vegan, I'm not sure).

• I also couldn't find walnut oil at my store so I just didn't bother, it was still delish. Then of course my mom mentioned I probably could have just used a little sesame oil (she's super smart).

I'm going to try a vegetarian lasagna for Valentines Day. If it works out I'll post it.
