I just wanted to share some pics of what I have been grubbing on lately, I have been enjoying my diet greatly over the past couple of weeks.

I couldn't decide on just one photo so here are several of the same dish...
I sauteed zuccini and broccoli in Olive Oil, black pepper, and garlic.
put that on a flour tortilla with tomatoes, red bell pepper, and cilantro.
so yummy!

next ....

I wanted something sweet
so we have banana drizzled (ok doused) with agave cocoa sauce and dabbed with AllFruit spreadable fruit (strawberry) and sprinkled with powdered sugar - it was OK but not OMFG great!



Then I wanted to try another wrap, still having a sweet tooth, my body was really craving pineapple....This was spectacular!
On top of a sundried tomato tortilla I put pineapple slices, avocado slices, green bell pepper, raisins, cilantro and jalapenos. drizzled with tamari
so good!

next....

I felt I was needing more protein so I tried some Quinoa (Not sure of spelling here) I had never tried it before, it looks kinda creepy, but tastes fine.I mixed in raw carrots, cucumber, cilantro, mushroom, raisins, and nutritional yeast.
I put the mixture on a steamed cabbage leaf.
I unfortunately had to put salad vinegar on top, the cabbage just wasn't edible to me otherwise, not a huge fan. but a satisfying, healthy meal in the end.


I made this pizza for my child, he ate it all up....
Next I used portabella mushrooms as my "meat"
I was craving pasta, really badly, so I cooked up some noodles, sauteed some portabella mushrooms in olive oil, black pepper, garlic, then plopped in some onion to saute with those drippings and added tamari. I put that along with fresh tomato, cilantro, raisins on top of my noodles.

I have to say one thing, I never thought warm food in one's mouth could be so very satisfying. I have been eating cold food here lately and wow, warm to hot food was magical!
This dish definitely hit the spot.

and tonight for dinner I tried something new, the food itself wasn't new but how I served my children was. I simply put alot of cut veggies on a large serving platter, and had tortillas handy, had a small saucer of pork from the chinese restaurant handy if they wanted some, and a small dish of sweet and sour sauce and a dish of green goddess salad dressing right handy for dipping. I called them to the table and said "go for it" and they ate quite well. here is the pic of my platter. It was devoured!


In this platter, sauteed portabella mushrooms, sauteed onion, fresh Orange slices, fresh spinach, fresh cucumber, fresh carrot, fresh tomato
