Finally Friday's Menu

Happy Friday Jennifer and everybody! Congratulations on getting your certification again, it shows what great work you and your team do. And your garden and baby starts look lush and vibrant green. I'm sad I can't figure out how to upload photos. Tammy Colter has tried to help but mine are on the cell phone and I have no idea how to identify the source, image description or dimensions. I never imagined I'd be this inept with technology, haha.

My garlics are scaping right now and once again there's the yearly struggle of the best way to use them. Hubby just bbq'd the ones frozen from last year's crop. He won't help eat them at all and I can't eat multiple batches of pesto. The kids know Mom is going to be dumping gallon bags of scapes on them to become their problem.

Tomorrow is the week 3 weigh-in so I'm going to try to go as high liquid, high protein, high fiber but low sodium as possible today.

B: my usual SF Almond milk collagen latte.

L: salad with cucumber, celery, mushrooms, 1 oz raw sunflower seeds. Lemon juice for dressing

PMS: Syntax Fuzzy Navel protein shake blended w/ice

D: Sauteed zucchini and mushrooms 1/2 - 1 cup, 2 oz turkey breast, 1/4 c whipped 2% cottage cheese

LS: 2c watermelon cubes

This gives 79g protein, 43g carbs (over budget), 22g fat, 546g sodium With lots of water, this should be perfectly satisfying.

QOTD: Before RNY only 'traditional' breakfast foods would do. After surgery, any comfortable protein or sauteed veggies works. But my gateway drug that led to my eventual regain was allowing myself coffee with breakfast. I've learned my lesson...Dr. said no liquids with food and he was right!

Enjoy the rest of your day and have a great weekend!

You can make a pesto with the scapes, pickle them, saute them like you would garlic and add them to what ever dish you would normally add garlic to. There are some many different things you can do with the scapes. You can also offer them for sale online I usually sell them for $5 for 15 of them if I have to many.

That's wonderful! I'd forgotten about using them for saute...this year that might be something I actually use now that I'm finally eating healthier. Thank you!
