Fall Deco Preview & My Plate

Here's whats on my plate today:

Oat bran w/ unsweetened cocoa and splenda for breakfast.

Ground turkey soup for lunch.

 Shiritaki noodles with steamed asparagus, Brussels sprouts, mushrooms, garlic and chicken.

I was planning on making DD Friendly oreo cookies but didn't have enough time. I promise I'll make some soon!

Here is a preview of my fall table deco:

I cant wait to finish! What's was on your plate today? Do you have any fall decorations already set up? I'd love to see it! 

mMm Food!

Hey! This is my second post of the day but I'm just super excited about posting about this topic. I don’t know if you have heard about the Dukan Diet (I prefer to call it more of a lifestyle change) but I am currently on it. I started in July (2011) and have lost a total of 30 pounds. I am half way to my goal weight and suddenly am stuck (for almost a month, BOO). Once in a while, every other week or so, a few pounds will go down but not enough to make me jump for joy. Anyway, I just wanted to share with you my meals for the day.   

For breakfast I had Oat bran (2T) with low fat milk and a yogurt. For lunch I made my DD version of zuppa toscana. 

·         Ground Italian sausage mixed with lean ground beef +egg+spices
(You don’t have to use Italian; I just had some left over- I don’t think we are allowed to use Italian but it was just a little ;D )
·         1 big red pepper+ 2 small peppers sliced
·         ½ sliced onion (I like mine big)
·         Water
·         ½  white cabbage sliced
·         Cheese (to top it in the bowl)
·         Parsley
·         1 pkge Fettuccini style shirataki noodles chopped
·         1 scrambled egg  (sounds weird, I know, but yummy)

YYou can also add: kale, chicken bouillon, 2 tsp garlic puree, 4 Tbsp bacon pieces. I just tossed in what I had on hand (didn’t really feel like shopping). 

 

For Dinner, I made 

Sweet and Spicy Cumin-Infused Meatball Deliciousness.

I followed just about everything except adding in cumin, pork, beef stock, and I kept my eggplant big. Follow the link on the picture or the title ^ for the original recipe. I will be posting dessert tomorrow!!!
