A Few Delicious Dishes I’ve Been Eating!

THESE ARE OIL-FREE BAKED CORN TORTILLA STRIPS!
Veggies sautéed oil-free in rice vinegar & served over whole wheat pasta
Oil-free potato O’Brien w/ natural ketchup (no high fructose corn syrup) & garbanzo bean/cabbage wrap in unleavened flatbread
Oatmeal w/ berries, splash of almond milk & few broccoli sprouts
Brown jazmine rice w/ shredded carrot, celery, onion, cruciferous veggies, blenderized nori sheet & rice vinegar sprinkled on top
Whole wheat pasta w/ tomato sauce, veggies, nutritional yeast & veggie balls

Those meatballs were perfect! I simply mashed some black beans, added dry rolled oats, healthy bbq sauce, added diced mushrooms & seasoning. Then I baked for 20 or 30 minutes. Delish!

EXERCISE:  I’ve been doing early morning powerwalks for 45 minutes inside the local indoor mall. Outdoor weather is getting nice & sunny, but the harsh Springtime winds are not always conducive to a pleasant 5k jog. Brief outdoor post-meal jogs are perfect!
