Progress with Food

So we’re making progress in the eating department.

We stocked up on healthier options, and I started trying to make some of the recipes I’ve found online .

Zupan’s always have meat of sorts on sale, so I’ve been starting to get my meat there, about $10 or less for the week, and cutting our meat portion in half.

One night for dinner I chopped up mushrooms and mixed them in with 9% lean grass fed beef, so it was 1/3 mushrooms and 2/3 meat. Delish.

Last night we had pork, sweet potatoes, and Brussels sprouts. Had you told my childhood, teenager, or early adult self that I would enjoy Brussels Sprouts so much I would have laughed in your face. We had some really yummy ones on our honeymoon though and it truly is all about the way it’s cooked.

I also got bran to put in baked goods such as pizza crusts etc.

I got date sugar as a sugar replacement.

And I’ve been using almond and coconut milk in everything except cereal.

I also tried making these goodies last night. They were a hit at work.

So we’re making progress, and easing ourselves into new foods and new flavors. It’s going to be a challenge, and cooking is exhausting, but I’m trying to think of it as an adventure to not get easily disappointment or be tempted to make something that isn’t as healthy. And the hubs has been pretty surprised at how good everything’s tasted…. for the most part.
