My first day meals.
I made oatmeal for breakfast with unsweetened apple sauce.
Lunch and dinner I have 3 medium boiled potatoes with mushrooms, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper.
Tomorrow, I am planning to make a polenta casserol with vegetables I saw in a True North cookbook.
Since I am staying away from nuts and oils, I will use a homemade tomato sauce.

Congratulations, Melinda! I love to see the scale numbers go down even if it is water weight! Way to go! Your meals sound very tasty.

Since this stay at home orders in Austin, TX, I have had plenty of time and no distractions. It gives me time to listen to what I am actually craving. Then I can learn if I am hungry or just want junk food.

Today, I finished off the homemade salsa and tortillas. I also ate a homemade pasta primavera with brown rice instead of pasta, since I have a gluten issue.
I plan to make an oatmeal and blueberry dish I saw in a McDougall cookbook.
I bought some tofu to practice making stir fry without the oil, of course.

I just didn't feel like eating anything today. Not that hungry. Later this afternoon, I was actually hungry and ate 4 medium size potatoes.
I will do some experimental cooking tomorrow and try to make cucumber vinegarett dressing for my salad. I noticed that even the plant based dressing use lots of nuts, which I don't need. I also have a Left Branch Bundle Block and for me, absoluity NO OIL!

Let us know when you get a handle on that homemade salad dressing thang. I haven't found a salad dressing that doesn't have tofu in it, that I like. There are several creamy dressings based on tofu that are tolerable. Sometimes some regular balsamic vinegar is enough. Depends what all is on the salad. Sometimes, if there's a good variety of veggies in the salad, the dressing can be something like salsa.

anyway, looks like you're doing really well. Keep it up!
