Eating Out Fridays

Cactus Veggie Burrito with cheese and tomatillo sauce from Frieda's Midtown.

I asked for an avocado salad instead of rice and beans.

This wasn't what I envisioned, but it was good, and I didn't miss the rice and beans.

You eat enough white/yellow foods between the tortilla and chips.

Simple swaps like this can make a big difference in your diet.

Adding Salads

Do you think salads are boring?

They don't have to be!

I like to prep my veggies once a week so making a salad or stir fry is EASY.

Add a salad to one meal a day to greatly increase your consumption of raw veggies.

What's in your salad?

Eating from the Yard

What's the best part of eating from the yard?

It's virtually FREE!

A little basil from your garden can be transformed into a tasty pesto with a just few ingredients that you already have on hand.

SkinnyTaste posted this recipe that omits nuts to bring down the calories.  I was surprised that it tastes just as good as pesto with walnuts or pine nuts.

What do you make with basil?
