One of
the reason I will always return to my healthy living lifestyle is
because I crave veggies when I have not had them in a while. Don't
get me wrong, I get bored of veggies easily. However, when I go a
few days without I can't wait to have a big 'ol salad bar.
At the
end of our vacation as we headed for home we hit up Trader Joe's so I
could buy an insane amount of peanut butter. I wish we had a Trader
Joe's in Boise. Anyway, at TJ's I also picked up a bag of Cesar
salad mix. You know the kind that has the dressing, cheese, and
croutons all in one bag. I really wanted something green. Just to
clarify, they do actually serve veggies in Northern Idaho I just
didn't partake in many.
I added
some dressing and cheese and shook it all up inside the bag. I
rolled the bag down a bit and grabbed a plastic fork. Instant
veggies on the road! I ate the whole bag...all three servings.
The
veggie void continued and a few days later I wanted a big batch of
cooked veggies. I added part of a zucchini, carrots, half a red and green
pepper, broccoli, celery, and cabbage and cooked it in some olive oil
and garlic. I added some teriyaki sauce and sweet and sour sauce to
give it some flavor and thew in a left over chicken breast. It was
delicious and I ate it all in one sitting!
I am
fortunate that this healthy lifestyle is part of my daily habit and I
miss it when I veer off into the land of yummy-high-calorie-food.
