Ack, dumb autocorrect or silly fingers one or the other. Pepitas it was supposed to be. pumpkin seeds 
@Stefanie glad I’m not the only one that autocorrect likes to mess with 
I love seeing all the food choices. You all motivate me to start cooking again.
Oh! I was wondering, too!
@kellynoelharman i have always been more of a baker than a cook but since I don’t want to put on extra weight I’ve put baking off except at the holidays and now I’ve been making some things with sourdough starter. I’ve enjoyed cooking while staying at home. I do tend to make the same things but i realize how much healthier i am eating - not eating out and not as much junk food. - more dishes would be the downside 
What a conveniently located eating spot @CandaceC!
Today’s lunch (recovery day): spicy eggplant with basil, brown rice, turkey meatballs
Today’s dinner after strength training: rice with pepers, chicken, baby cauliflower, broccoli and brussel sprouts
Rest day - and start of a rest week- so I am opting for beans for carbs (as
opposed to the usual rice or potatoes) and some protein, eggs, and my fave brussel sprouts
@Coach_Theia I cannot believe Brussels sprouts are your fave.
I’m not posting a pic because well, i made pizza again - i have not eaten pizza all that much for that past 2+ yrs and now with stay at home and doing more endurance rides and races, well, its an easy and somewhat healthy carb option. Tonight was fresh basil, fresh mozzarella, sausage (i am going to try seitan soon - i got some this weekend!) and diced tomatoes
I’m celebrating getting some good news today!!
And @Coach_Theia Brussels sprouts rule! My mother is rolling in her grave because Brussel sprouts were my least favorite veggie growing up after Lima beans - actually maybe they were a tie but it was Lima beans when she tried to put her foot down and make me eat them - aka i ran from the table and hid in the cellar stairs because i so did not want to eat them
I know, it’s crazy but I love Brussels sprouts, radishes, collard greens in general (the bitter the better), watercress, all cabbages… I read once that people taste bitterness differently from one another, so that could be a reason.
@CandaceC that smoothie looks a-mazing! I have to try it!!
Me, too @Coach_Theia! Anything green, I’m all in! Have the most amazing Brussels sprouts recipe I make for the family at Thanksgiving, if anyone wants it I’m happy to share. I’ve been salivating and taking notes on lots of your posts even if not weighing in. I’m a lacto/ovo vegetarian trying to eat more plant based meals overall. But love absolutely to eat absolutely everything including the chocolate chip peanut butter cookies recently made. Limiting myself to 2 a day!
