Here's a dish that was such a joy to eat I had it three times in a row!! And it looks pretty:




Roasted veggies (broccoli, carrots, pea pods, cherry tomatoes), tofu burger, and creamy polenta made with Follow Your Heart cream cheese. And I made a sauce to go with the burger with dijon musturd, Spectrum mayo, and hot sauce -- DELICIOUS!!!!!  =P

But, I have realized recently, looking back at my food choices, that I eat a high percentage of fat in my diet. Good, or not, fat is not to be eaten in excess, I believe. So, I've decided to try the 811rv diet for three days hence avoiding a lot of fat foods.

I'll post later about how that went (once it actually has gone). Thus, I leave you (and me!) to enjoy a picture of some gorgeous, incredibly tasty food none of us can eat. But, we can drool and moan (or, you can just go and make it).

Encore:




Toodles!

As promised, here's today's lunch -- lentil soup and polenta chips (with some spicy mayo sauce and a teeeny dessert):



The lentil soup is sooo easy to make. Cover lentils with stock or seasoned water, add veggies you like (I added chopped carrots and celery), a Tbsp or so of oil if you want, bring to a boil, cover and cook for 45-50min. And, of course, I added cayenne pepper. ;]

The recipe for polenta chips is here, except I added 2Tbsp of Follow Your Heart cream cheese.

The chips alone:



Oh, and for breakfast, I Hugged-a-carb! =D
Oatmeal with chocolate pudding stirred in -- oh, Heaven!!!!!




My chocolate pudding had:

*1/3 cup silken tofu (1 package of pre-sweetened caramel flavored Pete's tofu 2 go, which they don't seem to make anymore)

*2 Tbsp almond butter
*1 banana
*2 heaping tsp cocoa
*dash of salt
*vanilla extract

All intimately acquainted each other in the food processor.
