The weirdest dinner yet

I have to admit...the thought of dinner tonight did not entice me.

I set about making something a little different and doing some prep so that I wasn't scrambling with two menus at once. I  cooked up some cauliflower and broccoli in homemade veggie broth and whirred it  in my blender into a soup. I also cut up the remaining butternut squash with my krinkle cutter, for wise fries. But that all seemed too familiar to my taste buds and I wanted something else


I had some barrel-fermented sauerkraut (no vinegar is allowed on the diet) but eating that plain, by itself seemed too sour. So I cut up some apple, covered it with kraut and poured some Walden Farms maple syrup over it, the closest I figured I could get to brown sugar. Put it in an oven safe bowl and stuck it in the oven with my Wise Fries.  It was great! The perfect combination of sour and sweet --with enough tang to be really satisfying and different.

Walden Farms Calorie Free Chocolate SyrupFor dessert I had prepared pineapple and mandarin orange in my magice bullet, added a little truvia because the pineapple wasn't very ripe, and made 3 popsicles. Since I put apple into my meal, I just had one. Delicious!  While watching the 2 hour Amelia movie, my treat was a sugarless butterscotch which tasted as good as  Dove chocolate to my reformed palate.

I drank tons of water today, and a Zevia Root beer with WF Chocolate sauce added. I didn't miss a single massage of the beads, and I did some video exercise. My ankles are still pretty sore, but I practiced standing on one foot a lot to strengthen them.

Curious as to what tomorrow's scale will bring. Two days at the same weight would would not seem good, but if that's what happens, I 'll talk to my counselor.  Kind of looking forward to a milk day. I think its set up that way. Just when you think you can't eat another veggie meal, you don't have to.
