7/19/2014 1 Comment Weekly Check InI don't really have any food pictures for you this week; I was vegan (with the exception of pizza at the movies last week--more on that in a bit) all week at home. I did go off the book menu wise, though, just because so many of the recipes in the book menu plan tend to be a bit too repetitious. I mentioned this before--if I have black beans and potatoes at lunch, I don't want black bean and potato soup for dinner that day.
I made use of the sausage I made last week in dinner for yesterday (and there's some left for another meal). Dani was on 24 hour call last night, so on Thursday I made two meals. We had the Sesame soy curls over brown basmati with broccoli on the side that night, and I cooked a batch of polenta in the oven and topped that with sauteed onions, peppers, mushrooms and tomatoes and sliced vegan Italian sausage. Other meals this week included a Chik patty (they were on sale at Aldi this week--they may only be veganish, but oh well) with corn and baked beans (from my Sunday cooking last week) and Tempeh fajitas. We also had Seitan Piccata this week, which is always a favorite around here. We're still eating a good bit of raw stuff, and I've decided watermelon is something I'm not tired of yet. Smoothies every day for breakfast, as well. So, the weigh in this week I was hoping for a pound off--I've been walking and working out most days of the week. I was only down 0.2 pounds, though. I suspect this was the result of (1) salty sesame soy curls for dinner the night before and (2) the pizza I ate at the movies Saturday--who knows how many calories were in that thing? So, I'm just going with the fact it went down, not up, and that our diet is cleaner than it has been of late. I did eat some whole wheat Ritz with some almond butter a minute ago, but that's about as "junky" as it gets around here. I'm also seeing some things in the mirror that aren't showing up on the scale, so onward!

Hey, I know this is obvious to me that the writer is Angel but I notice that you gals usually don't identify yourselves. Just an observation.
