What are you craving?

[KLS52]

No, that's what's weird. I gained a few pounds but it was ok because I had lost more than I intended with WW. So I'm at a healthy, comfortable weight now. It seems like now that I'm less restrictive and maintaining, I'm craving more and more sugar/carbs. Maybe I'm not paying as much attention to what I'm eating as when I was being more strict and counting points. I might need more healthy proteins and fats. I'm starting with a good breakfast, today, and will continue through the weekend and see if the cravings lessen.

Eating protein and fat for breakfast will curb the carb cravings during the day. When I eat porridge or bread I get the jitters and cravings after a couple of hours.

I just read an article in the Independent which states that children study better at school after having a protein breakfast opposed to a cereal one.

Sweet, spicy potato wedges. However, I can't justify putting on the oven to make them.

Something chocolaty. I'm not a huge fan of chocolate cakes except for gooey brownies. However, I may bake
something with lots of chocolate…….

I have made a batch of orange flavoured brownies. They are cooling on the balcony.

Yikes, I don't put any food out anymore. I put the brownies out onto the table but during the course of the morning.
The mite ate all the bird food so I don't put it out anymore for the birdies.

The squirrels do a good job on the birdseed when I put it out. I bought an extra bag today since the weather will be turning cold and we might get a few snow showers over the next few days.

I wouldn't mind feeding squirrels but I've never seen them climb up to my balcony. It's the rats that I'm not keen on.

Been jonesin' for some more falafel. Had all this produce (broccoli, onion, garlic, etc.) in order to initially make a veggie/rice bake, been putting it off, still need to get broth & a few other things for it.... but don't want all the fresh stuff to go bad so I thought, Hey, what about broccoli falafel?? Ooooh....

The more I think about it, the better it sounds. Yup, this is happening. Broccoli falafel it is!!

I made a falafel crusted pie the other day with tomatoes, almond milk yogurt, cucumbers, black olives, and onions. Yum

Yum, indeed!!

While I'm waiting for the dough to chill, I think I'm gonna make a falafel filling this time.... finely minced carrot/baby spinach/red bell pepper mixed with Daiya cream cheese & fresh dill, methinks. **shrug** I dunno, I'm just bored. LOL

I want to eat everything.

Do you add anything to the falafel crust? Or do you just bake the shell before you make the pie? This sounds really cool! I'm looking at ways to cut down on white flour, so this would be a nice alternative.

I got the idea from The Vegan Stoner: Search results for falafel pie
