Lunch: my favorite apple-cranberry-lettuce salad. This isn't just my favorite salad but I think one of my most favorite meals ever. I'll be sad when cranberry and apple season is over. I'm still getting fresh ones locally.
Dinner: Vegetable Shepherd's Pie, from the Fuhrman members site. I snacked a bit while making it, on some carrots and almonds. I really like this dish. It has several vegetables, a small amount of carrot juice, and is topped with mashed sweet potatoes. It's pretty too, with the bright orange topping. And the chopped almonds are a great touch. The recipe calls for crumbled tofu but I'm not a big fan of tofu and am a big fan of edamame, so I ground edamame instead. Housemate loves peas so I think I would uses peas instead next time. I had two helpings but don't think I overate. I finished it off with some fresh-squeezed grapefruit/orange juice. Dr. Fuhrman doesn't recommend grapefruits because studies have found a dramatic increase in breast cancer among women who eat grapefruits regularly. I suppose I should heed his advice. I just love these organic grapefruit from Texas--Rio Star is the brand. sigh. What if it's only when combined with unhealthy food that it causes this effect? Darn, I suppose I should stop eating them. I have 3 left. Anyway, one more thing I ate after dinner: I made applesauce for housemate from a big bag of apples her family gave us. So I ate a small bowl. mmmm, freshly made warm applesauce is yummy. and very simple, just apples, water, and sugar. I froze the rest for housemate to have as a snack at work.
