week 21 day 5

rutabegas , potatoes and sausage today , soups #1

recipe ( this is a very German dish LOL) : peel , cut up in chunks, boil rutabega, drain water after a while and boil again ( or it gets bitter) , when almost soft, add some cut up potatoes. Drain when soft but leave a little liquid in the post, and use a potato masher to mash it all. Add butter, salt, pepper and a little nutmeg, plus a raw chopped onion and some fried bacon pieces. Have this with either Bratwurst or Kilbasa sausage. My mom always made it with blood sausage but no such thing here so I use what is available

We have been utilizing sweet potatoes with our meals, instead of the normal Russet potatoes. I think (?) they are better for you, but regardless, they sure taste way better.

week 22 day 3

Chinese low mein with beef and veggies, got some stir fry beef we went to the Sams last time
It's sort of funny, the only food I use beef for with rare exceptions is Chinese stir fry. I haven't found a good cut of lamb or goat to substitute for that, oh or beef fajitas husband likes

week 22 day 4

my weight seems to be stuck on the same exact spot, not even an ounce change in at least a week, not up or down. Is this the dreaded plateau?

today making kimchi stew and rice
maybe I should shock my system and make a dessert and eat a whole bunch of it!
