Tonights dinner

Well I made pizza for the family again, and here is what I did for my dinner: I took the leftover dough (I make it myself with whole grain white flour), rolled it out. In a bowl I mixed spinach, olives, onions, garlic, tomato sauce, nutritional yeast and some italian herbs. Spread it on the dough, rolled it, and topped with some olive oil. It is baking as we speak! I'm sure it's yummy. :)

So, I think I may have officially detoxed from cheese because I don't really crave it anymore. My breakfasts have become more healthy because I am eating more whole grain cereal, oatmeal and fruit. I used to eat American cheese on an English muffin, on toast, or on scrambled eggs. If I made a sandwich I would have cheese on it, even though I could never really taste it with everything (lots of veggies & hummus) I put on it. I don't think I'm losing weight, that wasn't the motive anyway, but I'm not having as much stomach pain. I used to attribute it to too much coffee, but I haven't kicked that habit yet. I vary how I drink it though, today it was black.

With all the good I'm doing, I shall confess my times of weakness. Thanksgiving was the sour cream and onion mashed potatoes, and on the way to a client's house I was hungry (forgot my granola) I stopped at DD for their Everything Bagel and veggie cream cheese, and I enjoyed every bite! The cake at my cousin's baby shower was from Wright's Dairy Farm, and had real cream frosting. Guess what? I'm OK! At another time if I veered off course just a little I would give up completely and go back to the old ways. It's not black & white, and I will still have a dab of cream in my coffee at times, and maybe even some yogurt....You'll never catch me saying that I am a vegan, I will probably always be a vegetarian that just limits her dairy intake. :) It's all good, with or without Hood. Sorry, for being cheesy! LOL I'm on a roll..... Goodnight, it's been a long day.
