Today my good food choice was...

We are. Grouper, Brussel sprouts and wild rice

for dinner last night. Green tea and fruit for lunch today.

What kind of oil is in the Pam spray?  I know that Pam makes an Olive Oil spray that might be better to use than say, corn oil.

It is the sam Pam can as the one like olive oil but is butter flavored.  It takes like real butter but has zero calories and zero fat.  It really taste like butter and makes blah food (healthy stuff) taste great.

I am just a little skeptical that something that taste this good must have a down side.  I am actually carrying a can in my purse.  Order steamed veggies at a restaurant and discretely take out the can and add some flavor. 

I will say this - many years ago I had a friend who was an engineer. He worked at the company that made Butter Flavored Crisco. He said that seeing what was involved in that butter flavor, he would NEVER EVER eat that product.  I never forgot that.

I bet if you tried the olive oil spray you might like it. I am just very suspicious of those artificial flavors. 

Oh...and if you are looking to add flavor--exchange the can of Pam in your purse for a shaker of tumeric.  Lots of flavor and the a powerful anti-inflammatory food.

I will give it a try.  I just discovered the Pam a week ago.  I eat veggies all the time and fruits basically my only snack.  I workout all the time and I am a very picky eater.  I think the Pam just gave me a new flavor.  Every once in awhile it is a nice break to introduce something new.

Thanks and will post back once I have a chance to try the Tumeric. 

Just found this thread. I have traded in commerical salad dressing (I used to use Paul Newman's Family Italian). We have salad & raw veggies & berries with dinner every night — so now I only use fresh lemon juice, a little salt and fresh cracked pepper. It's delish. And I don't miss the oil! Gotta say a sprinkle of salt is KEY.

I stayed at a lighthouse overnight with friends so they brought good food last night    My kitchen is the size of a closet (really) so I make a lot of things in the crockpot.  Tomorrow for daughter and myself barley and mushroom soup with sherry in crockpot, caesar salad, fresh bread.

I started the day at the big farmers market in the middle of my big city.  I've joined a community supported agriculture program with a local farmer - love her and her veggies - my $10 bag had green and golden zucchini, squash, shallots, tomatoes, onion....and I bought my pound of fresh mushrooms, and my new favorite aquaponic lettuce....it's so tender.....I grabbed a bag of spinach too - so I prepaid my CSA so $10 plus $5 for mushrooms (vitamin D i had no idea), $3 for spinach, and $4 for lettuce, not to bad for $22, opps and my okra, purple and green (baby size which microwaves beautifully) for $3 more.

for a light dinner tonight I had two pieces of whole wheat bread with avocado and tomato (my DH calls it my summer sandwich..)

They sell sunflower sprouts, purslane, and lambs quarter there too.  Looking for ideas for those other than put on salad.

If necessity is the key to invention then who ever invented "smoked paprika" was a vegan looking for a meaty flavor!!!

Sagina, that all sounds sooo good!

My good food choice last night was a whole wheat tortilla filled with omega 3 egg whites, black beans, brown rice, avocado and home made salsa.  OK, I cheated and put a little white cheddar in in too ... 

For today, whole wheat pasta with sauteed tomatoes, garlic and fresh basil. 

Organic oatmeal sweetened with banana and almonds

I can see breakfast being the toughest.  There is only so much oatmeal and toast one can eat.  What about smoothies in the morning?  They are really filling?  Strawberry/banana or 3 berry smoothie and a couple pcs of Ezikiel bread?

Good choices last night were whole wheat pasta with tomato/basil sauce and quorn brand meatless meatballs.  I thought they were okay.  The kids didn't dig these at all.

Good choice this morning was a banana&mango smoothie.  Lunch will be stir fried veggies and brown rice.

both great suggestions! I like the wasa cracker thingys, and peanut butter is a good protein and fat for me.  Ever since Rads sleep is not as good....so mornings are limited to get ready and get out door - if it wasn't for work, I'd probably be a night owl and sleep from exhaustion during the day. falling asleep is easy, it's the ouch and ouch from moving at night, rolling on the radiated area etc. 

I have been juicing, and tried that for breakfast, but really leaves me hungry, so maybe I can supplement the peanut butter and cracker with that.

How about a pan toasted almond butter sandwich made with Ezekiel bread, served with a side of fried banana slices browned in grapeseed oil. An extra cup of green tea with this one is good as the sandwich is dry until you pile a little bite of banana on it right before taking a bite.

Yum!

Try the meatless/soyless Quorn brand items.  They are frozen, but you could grill up and slice up one of the "chicken" cuts for your salads.
