ok so i have another thing i can't stop eating...roasted butternut squash with ketchup. how gross does that sound?? but for real - it tastes like french fries. my husband says i'm crazy - that i must forget what french fries taste like. maybe i do...it's been 2.5 years...BUT i swear that my new discovery is at least similar and it makes me excited to eat my veggies!
preheat oven to 450. peel the squash and chop off the ends...chop it up like home fries or slice it like steak fries...whatever fry you want to simulate...spray your pan...spray your "fries" with pam or spray butter for a totally fat-free vegetable. if you want to coat them in olive oil, go for it but i like to keep the fat out of my veggie recipes so i can use the fat for something else - like cream in my coffee. put a little salt on them and bake for about 20 minutes...after 20 mins, flip 'em around....bake for 10 more mins or until they start to get crispy or "hard" on the outside like a french fry. grab your ketchup (sugar-free is what i use) and fuckin eat. AWESOME.

artificial sweeteners are the devil
um. i think 10 splendas in my coffee is a little obnoxious. and how about 6 packets in 1/4 cup oatmeal. and how about never drinking water because i'm totally addicted to diet soda....so today is day one of giving up artificial bull shit and i feel great. great because i know it's the next right thing to do. i had coffee today with half and half and no sweetener and it wasn't spectacular but i think i can get used to it.
another change i'm making is choosing better foods for ME. in my food plan, i can have 2 fruits a day so check it out. for one fruit i can pick what i want and do the portion thing....which would you rather - 2 tbsp polaner all-fruit (jelly) OR 1/2 a cantaloupe?
i mean REALLY????? what a stupid fucking question. but because i am an idiot, i'd eat the all-fruit because it's so sugary and sweet but it does NOTHING for me! all it does is leave me hungry. so tomorrow i'm going to eat half a cantaloupe and 1 cup of mango for my fruits and i can't wait!
happy eating! xo
