Hello all!
I have been doing so well this last week or so. I worked out every day Sunday - Thursday. I ate only every few hours, and didn't snack in between. I've been having mostly leftovers from Summer - Week 1, which lasted surprisingly long and surprisingly well.
I have also been eating my every day greens, well, every day. I've been ad-libbing some dinners because I'm trying to save my cash and use up what I have stockpiled, so I've been dumping leftover beans on them, too. Tasty. I also recommend Newmans Own Oil and Vinegar salad dressing, if you prefer not to make your own (somehow mine always ends up with gross chunks of salt sneaking up on me).
I have not been so good about not adding in treats with dinner, but I'll work on that.
I want to share a few things I've learned in the last couple weeks with you:
1. Plastic containers that baby spinach comes in are great for storage. Save them. Do NOT put them in the dishwasher, because this happens....
2. The more time you spend making sure your greens are dried before they are stored, the more days you will be able to enjoy them fresh.
3. Canned salmon, while it might sound sketchy, is actually quite tasty.
4. A handy reminder E-Mail from the good folks at Perfectly Produce made me realize that I am storing all my nut butters and oils wrong. They should be refrigerated.
5. Teff flour wraps are a GREAT gluten-free substitute for more traditional wheat wraps. Not bad calorie wise, and decent fiber content. These should also be refrigerated.
6. The pico de gallo recipe for this week / month is FABULOUS and stays fresh forever. Warning: you may want a margarita with this. Fresh tomatos and cilantro with onion and garlic...what could be better???
That's all for now folks - stay fresh.
