6 Week - Day 38

Soul Food: Psalm 119: Kaph; Psalm 34

My Food:

Breakfast salad (with strawberries...finally!!)

Lunch: potatoes, spinach, mushrooms, broccoli at the local diner

Dinner: Caesar salad made with pecans in place of croutons (great new dressing recipe, though I need to use less lemon juice the next time I make it - which will be on Thanksgiving - tonight was a trial run) topped with roasted Brussels sprouts and cauliflower, sautéed broccoli, 1 ladle of cinnamon cocoa chili (a variation of this recipe and my old recipe that I tweaked. I didn't use quinoa, added mushrooms and cinnamon, oh, and celery, too.) with a small bit of vegan cheese sauce

Dessert: Peanut butter munchy squares (these are probably my all time favorite dessert now, but sooooo easy for me to binge on. They taste like my old favorite, no-bake cookies) We alter the recipe in the link by using oats in place of dry cereal.

My Thoughts:

Today was good. I felt really happy with my choices at meal time. I'm a little bummed I overate on the dessert but I'm still pretty happy with how the day went. Honestly, I just end up feeling so full for so long with the meals we eat, I sometimes feel like I am way overdoing it and then get all worried that I'm overeating.  It's hard to believe, but all those veggies really do make you feel so stuffed for a long time.

Looking Ahead:

Tomorrow I'll start getting some foods on my Thanksgiving menu put together. I printed out the recipes and plan to make a binder for them to have for future feasts. I'm excited about the menu. I'll make a separate post to give details.

Today I made the Caesar dressing for the salad and I'm happy with how it turned out. It needs a little tweaking, but I think it's a great start.
