No Cottage Cheese Today

Sesame seed bagel, smattering of cream cheese, cantaloupe. Yum.



Light Lunch

An interesting, but light lunch.  On top is a polenta cake with a mushroom and fennel ragout, then going clockwise, a small portion of macaroni and cheese, followed by a vegetarian shepherd's pie.




More Curry

Had curry for dinner yesterday too. This is a red curry with tofu, carrots, zucchini, and onion.  I put too much curry paste in, so it was very spicy.



Stoplight Curry

Lunch was great yesterday. Red, yellow, and green curries. Sauteed tofu. Mixed veggies. A delicious chickpea stew with yams! Also, a cookie. Some Fresca to drink.

Old Faithful

Cottage cheese and fruit again. This time heavy on the blueberries.


And yeah, that's my new copy of Notre Dame underneath the bowl.

Pesto Dinner

We got a new food processor last night, and we used it to make pesto.  I put too much garlic in. But it was still good. I also had a pumpkin chocolate chip cookie for dessert that was tasty. I forgot to take pictures, though.

Almost Vegan Lunch

I thought I would go for a vegan lunch today, and I was off to a good start. Vegan enchiladas, with beans and rice. Yum! But then I just had to grab that small plate of gnocchi with mushroom cream sauce.


And then the lemon meringue (and a tiny piece of weird brownie thing) did me in again.


Alas.

Same Old Already

I repeated yesterday's breakfast this morning. Bowl of fruit and cottage cheese. No picture this time because my phone was dead.

Veggie Chili

Kendra made a great batch of vegetarian chili last night. So I had some with two slices of muenster cheese melted in. Yum!



Brussels Sprouts!

At work they have these really delicious Brussels sprouts from time to time, they have mustard seeds on them.  I grabbed half a plate of those, along with a couscous-stuffed mushroom, and two pita chips with some hummus.  It was shaping up to be a nice healthy vegan lunch.


Then I had a tiny bit of pink sparkling wine, as my team was celebrating a few things, including my recent successful dissertation defense.


There may have been mini cupcakes involved.


Either way, I blew it all to hell when I saw this lemon meringue pie calling to me.

Back On The Horse

I'm back!

Finished my thesis, so now I have more time and energy for this.  Both the documentation and the diet effort.  Here we go!

Simple small bowl of fruit and cottage cheese.
