the cooking bug.

do i really get this many fruit/veg into my diet in one day?

here is a list of what i got in:

spinach
banana
cucumber
tomato
edamame
zucchini
sweet potatoes
apples
onions
garlic
potatoes
string beans


today, i also had (in various things):

two snack size bars of reese's/butterfinger (meh)
almond milk
peanut butter
ezekiel bread made from sprouted grains (no flour)
vegan chocolate chips
tofurkey, smoked deli slices
silken tofu
tofurkey italian sausage (whoa on the soy today ...oh well)
ground flaxseed
salt and vinegar kettle-cooked potato chips
agave

i have been going for less fat (oil) in the diet and seem to have overcompensated with salt and sugar. well, it is almost that time of the month ... i'll balance out soon. overall, pretty healthy!

breakfast: green smoothie (and those two little candy bars)
lunch: "turkey" sandwich with chips and edamame
dinner: one bowl each of, 1. sweet potato-"sausage"-apple bake, 2. maple-mustard glazed potatoes and string beans
dessert: vegan chocolate zucchini bread with melted vegan butter

I also have a ton of leftover red kidney bean curry to have with grains throughout the rest of this week.

I plan on making a roasted butternut squash soup this weekend.

So glad the cooking bug is back!! :-)
