Whatcha Eatin?

Nothing right now- but most recently, I had steamed, fresh collards, with warmed-up brown rice and white beans I had cooked earlier and a little canola oil drizzled on it all. Simple, and maybe a bit bland, but healthy- and I devoured it. The deep, vibrant green of the collards nicely set off the beige beans and rice, too. I didn't overcook the greens, so they were colorful, still a bit crisp ( the stems anyway), and tasty, as well as nutritious.
 
A Salted Caramel Oatmilk Latte. A breakfast sandwich of Gardein Spicy Sausage Patties, Just Egg, Violife Mature Cheddar slice on sourdough rye.
For lunch, making Gardein Chick'n Tenders with Cherry Dipping Sauce. Rice. Petite Peas.
 
Same! Though I put them in the freezer, so I'm hoping that will dissuade me a bit, haha. I'm trying to have just one a day.
Most recently I bought 2 bags of Oreo Mint Cookies and hubby and I went through both. He ate more than I did and I'm so mad because he's skinny and I'm not. LOL But he's also been bringing home Lay's Low Salt chips, my favorite. So yesterday I made sure not to add them to the list and he bought them anyway. I resisted with clenched knuckles all day but right after supper couldn't take it any more so had a bowlful. And told him please stop buying them unless I ask for them. He gave me a clenched teeth smile, guess that didn't please him. LOL But even though I'm overweight my weight is always steady so when I gained 2 pounds yesterday I had to stop the snacking. Or try to. It's going in the wrong direction!

ETA: frozen cookies and cakes are better than fresh as I found out one time when I put a chocolate cake in the freezer and then went and ate some of it anyway. LOL
 
I just made some steel cut oatmeal, which I will now add, hemp hearts, thawed blueberries, and some maple syrup for sweetener. This is comfort food for me on a cold winter morning. I realize cold here on the coast is often a fraction of the cold elsewhere in Canada, but it's still freaking cold this morning.

I don't have much self-control at home, because the "junk food" is always there tempting me- and as you've found out, keeping them frozen won't stop us. But we can control ourselves for the short time we're in the store.

But it's tough when your significant other is unwittingly working against you.

(Unsalted or low-salted chips always tempt me, too- I like salt, but they put too much on and I want to taste the chips themselves!)

Spaghetti pie.
My mom used to make this pie with ricotta cheese and spaghetti. I decided to try it using tofu ricotta and it came out really good. So I’m having a piece of that for dinner.
