Whats for lunch today?
RNY on 05/21/19
I had every intention of taking a picture of the beautiful lunch I prepared for myself but I can't find that dumb camera.
I have it beautifully arranged on a long rimmed sushi platter even though it's not sushi. Here goes from Left to right.
4 slices of Canadian bacon cut in half. A dollop of Di Formaggio, a few leaves of basil, a few slices of red pepper also halved. A few sprigs of cilantro, a few slivers of asiago and a handful of whole wheat crackers. Oh and two tiny baked meat balls. Don't forget those!
This is a delicious explosion of flavor combinations. Pile up the treats this way or that. It doesn't matter. YUM!!!! I've found that by adding a wide variety of flavors to a meal, I come away from the table much more satisfied mentally. I usually always leave satisfied physically. And if you add it all up, it's still only about 4 oz's.

That sounds good! So what is Di Formaggio?
I had a salmon patty and 1/2c of Edamame.

a wonderful creamy cheese. A bit like a triple cream brie but BETTER!

I used to turn my nose up at having to pay 4 dollars for a tiny block of cheese. But now days when that tiny triangle can last me about 5 snacky meals... well, I decided I'm worth the expense. I'm eating healthier than ever, fresher than ever and I'm happier to experiment more now then EVER before. I'm worth it!
And one day I thought to myself, "why are you cringing at paying that amount for that one fre****em? How much would you pay to be thin and healthy?" And so the practice of buying fresh ingredients came to be the little cheese habit you hear about today.

Tiff, I grew up with boring food being served and I am trying to expand my horizons, so I love hearing about new things. Life is too short to eat the same boring things over and over.
So thanks for everything you share on this board. Also I love hearing about all the fun activities that you do.
Hugs,
Kristi
