Thinking About Food

Have I told you how wonderful our neighbors are? They dropped off delicious breast cancer awareness bagels. I will say all bagels should stop being round and start being ribbon shaped. It gives you more bagel to love! I enjoyed one and then froze the rest. If I didn't, I would have dangerously eaten them all!

I'm trying to come up with a better eating plan. I'm a creature of habit but this time of year always confuses me. The temperatures keep messing with my cravings. I definitely crave certain kinds of food in cold weather versus hot weather. The problem is, some days its cold and hot in the same day!

I completed a free metabolic nutritional typing test offered from Mercola.com but the results didn't impress me. It said I was a mixed type, rather than carb or protein type. I was hoping for better direction, but what else should I expect for free?

I think what's really bumming me is I'm missing the fresh summer fruits and veggies. I enjoy fall's harvest, but I guess I haven't been focusing on recipes that take advantage of them. I'll have to pull out my soup and stew recipes and make something inspirational this week.

I should get back to posting a food diary. I have a new to us camera now I'll have to use.

I want some good neighbors! All of mine aren't people we enjoy! Those bagels are neat and I agree with you, I'm missing the Summer fruit and veg already!!

Good neighbors are a blessing! We aren't close to any of ours, but no one causes any problems here. :o) We deliver goodies to them a couple times a year and they all seem to enjoy them . :o)

We love fresh veggies too!:o) mmmmmm I think by just having well-balanced meals, proportioins and letting go of wheat and most dairy you'll see and feel a difference. As you know, we've changed our eating since Roger's diagnosis and nothing has been drastic. :o) It's been really good. :o)
