Good morning,
allergies are bad; very congested; I take a prescription for them plus two steroidal nasal sprays: marginal help. It clears away in the afternoon. But very annoying. Tree, grasses, pollens, molds. Not foods.
Anyway, I am going to double down to lose these last few pounds! moderation isn't working (but we knew that, didn't we?)
I am going to make another batch of veggie chili. I eat it a lot but it is so very tasty! This last batch was especially good and maybe because I added about 1/3rd a cup of leftover coffee to it! I always add lots of veggies, whatever is in the fridge so carrots, bok choy this time, kale, a package of southwestern veggies, couple cans of beans, tomatoes, carrots, plenty of chili seasonings, and I did add a couple tablespoons of dark molasses to counter all the tomato acid.
I also made an orzo salad, just finished it. I pan seared some diced zucchini, then cut up tomatoes, the zucchini, some green onions and added the cooked orzo. Also used a couple dashes of a ginger tumeric curry seasoning. Light and good summer salad.
And I have lots of potatoes to eat with the chili. Always oatmeal for dinner if nothing else is appealing.
The Oregon fruits are amazing: peaches now, plus dark cherries really help my arthritic hips. Plums and cantaloupe are so good. I only have 1 or 2 of each a day though, plus 4 dark cherries.
Summer is a good thing.
