3/20/2012 2 Comments I think I need to refocus!We got a little side-tracked. Renee reports her numbers are up from last time, so she's rededicating herself to going animal free to get those numbers back down.
My most recent numbers are good. My total cholesterol was 162, with my HDL 51 and my LDL 93. I was pretty happy with those numbers, but I'd love to see them get even better. D. expressed surprise the other day that I, the former cheese queen of the house, have given up cheese with nary a complaint, really. I might eat cheese once a month these days, and often it happens if we are out somewhere and there really aren't vegan options, but there are vegetarian options. Tonight, we had some great Ginger Tofu from Neal Barnard's Get Healthy, Go Vegan. Last night, we did some seitan chimichurri and mixed grilled veggies (shrooms, slices of sweet onion, bell pepper quarters, and roasted garlic cloves). I cut back the oil to 2T (from 1/2 cup) and swapped out lime juice for the lemon juice. I think next time, I may try no oil at all. This was the second time I made this--last time was camping last summer. One of my goals is to use the indoor grill more often (and of course to use the outdoor one now that the weather is warm). And, I scored a bottle of Raimondo's White Grapefruit vinegar Saturday! Argenta Market has the best selection of Raimondo wines, vinegars, and oils. This vinegar is so yummy and I look forward to a lot of salads with just it (it's mild enough that you don't really have to cut it with oil if you're a vinegar lover).
