Long story short, last year about this time I signed up with Ron Lyon's Ultimate Body boot camp. It was a great experience, and besides getting a whole new look on fitness, I learned a lot about nutrition. And what I think I learned most about nutrition is that if you don't want to always be craving restaurant food, you better learn to cook.
Fast forward to this year, I have signed up for Weight Watchers, and I'm learning to cook (again). haha
I've also signed up as a shareholder in a local CSA (you should do the same if you get the chance).
Last week's locally grown organic fruit and veggie haul was:
apples, oranges and pears
bananas
spinach
cabbage
rainbow chard
leeks
bok choy
butternut squash
and red potatoes
and at the grocery store I got:
zucchini
mushrooms
feta
tomatoes
and lemons.
Out of that (plus some random pantry items) I made:
homemade apple sauce with cranberries (really good with vanilla greek yogurt)
oven fried zucchini and squash
pasta with butternut squash
chard and ham stuffed potatoes
stuffed mushrooms (soooooooo good!)
plus I bagged up the leftovers for random veggie additions later in the week.
Week one--- total success! Yum! Plus I lost 2 pounds!
