Tuesday Ramble

Good Tuesday morning.  I am not liking this wet weather.  I was just starting to enjoy getting out in the sun, and the rain came again.  Heard this was going to be a wetter summer.  Don't know how true it is, but it sure looks like it so far.

So far this seems to be my best morning since the allergies hit.  A lot less coughing.  Hoping the allergy pills have finally taken hold.

Decided to switch things up this week. No soups and salads. In all honesty, it's getting too hot for soup. While it's true that homemade soup and salad are healthy to eat and low on points, when you eat the same thing over and over again your metabolism slows. Switching things up speeds it up. So today I made some balsamic roasted broccoli and some roasted curried cauliflower. Will have that with some grilled chicken. Later in the week I hope to make some cumin scented peas and minted carrots. Also adding some refried beans to the menu. The fat free beans are zero points.

Veggies were simple to make and called for few ingredients.

One head of cauliflower sprinkled with olive oil, curry powder, and cumin.  Toss and roast in the oven.

Broccoli, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar.  Toss and roast in the oven. 

Both came out so yummy.

So Food for Life is now on Wednesday afternoons.  They changed it again.  What else is new?  I went yesterday all prepared to spend the entire day. On a plus side, coming home earlier than expected helped me beat the heavier rainfall, but  this constant changing of days is not fair to those of us who really enjoy that class.   But, on the plus side, I did beat the worst of the rain home.  No sooner did I take my sweater off than the skies opened up.

Have a good one.
