Yeah, but what about the screaming hot coals inside the house? lol

Also, our balcony faces the street, and there's a constant stream of residents walking their dogs who would observe our subversive behavior and maybe report it. I don't know, I'm getting desperate. I just might crack and do it. I don't think they can throw us out, lol.

Vegetables!!

I know i need to eat them, and know that they are soooo good for me. But I'm not a fan of raw veggies, and I'm pretty picky about the veggies I eat and like. So my plan is to eat one vegetarian meal per night ("Meatless Mondays," and to incorporate more vegetables into my daily diet.

I am planning to go back to making my own pasta; try making brioche and homemade ricotta; and while I dislike bananas, I have started the new year by putting them in a chocolate protein shake.

As always, more fruit and veggies, less pasta and bread.

Ditto! We are a meat and potatoes family. 50% meat, 50% potatoes. Vegetables are merely an afterthought - better throw a can of corn in a pot.

For the past couple of weeks, I've been trying out tons of new, fresh, vegetables. Surprised at how well it is going over with the husband. Our plates are now about 50% veggies and 25% each meat and potatoes.

I've been roasting them, making tempura, baking with a Parmesan/panko crust ...

Vegetables! I promise myself this every year. Sometimes it works. The past couple of years, not so much.

I'm making a zucchini-crust pizza with broccoli, garlic and sun dried tomatoes for dinner tonight, though. It's a start.

for you folks that are veggie challenged

here's a tip

blend your veggies with beef/turkey broth/ gravy in a blender and put that veggie broth/ gravy on your mashed potato

it freezes well too

I resolve to eat more fruits. I am a huge veggie eater but not the fruits so much. If I eat more fruits I might cut back on some of the not so healthy foods I consume., Basically we eat very healthy, but just way to much, but there is always room for improvement. I think I make too many sauces.
