M & Ms

[Guest guest]

If I had M & Ms in the house they would probably rot before I ate them. I

rarely eat candy or anything sweet for that matter. Every once in a while I buy

a really dark (90% cocoa) chocolate bar and I eat one square a day. It's bitter

and satisfies any cravings for chocolate although I must admit I could live with

out chocolate quite nicely. As long as it is dark, I know it is healthy and

women need it for their 'moods'. Oh dear did I say the M word. We don't have

moods. We just alter our outlook from time to time.

 

My downfalls are bread, butter and cheese - any kind of good bread, lots of

butter and most every cheese made on earth - except soy. Oh yes, and

crackers!!! The butter goes on the bread and the cheese goes on crackers and I

could nibble on them all day long. Some days I do but that behavior is going to

change.

 

I am so disciplined when it comes to being a vegetarian but somehow haven't been

able to get that discipline going with being a vegan. We are out of my

favourite cheddar cheese and I'm not buying any more. I do have some smoked

Gouda and that's the hard one for me to give up. Smoked tofu tastes almost as

good but the texture just isn't right. I'm working on it. I have some great

recipes for cheese substitutes so I'm going to make one of them this weekend.

The texture is crappy but they taste good so that's where I'm heading.

 

I'm still in the preplanning stage of the healthier eating and will start on

Monday. Has everyone heard that one before? Of course we all have said and

heard it many times over.

 

It's sunny here so it's time to turn off the sewing machine. Hopefully the cool

breeze has died down so I can sit outside and do my menu planning and pick up

some Vitamin D at the same time.

 

Have a great day everyone and it's good to be part of the chatting again.
