Quick Post

... on the VT Challenge:

I made two things based on ideas I found there:
1. I used up a Celery Root (originally intended for a salad but never made...) -
cooked it with some potatoes, mashed them with a bit of margarine and served them as a side dish for my tofu slices (marinated/coated with sesame seeds and baked).

2. I gathered some snack ideas:
Pumpkin seeds /sesame seeds/ chia seeds toasted with a hint of agave and sea salt. Very delicious. (and full of great nutrients, but we won't say that to family members... it seems to go against the cause...)

Food-wise

Now, that sugar is back on my menu I need a new food focus.

Nuts and Seeds.

We are talking about high calorie stuff!
Obviously, moderation is key but it's so good to include them in our meals.

Today, thinking about seeds and having bought a bag of Black Sesame seeds last weekend, I was itching to include some with my lunch.

Lunch was a lovely dish of Roasted Vegetables with Goat Cheese in Phyllo. I did the obvious: once I brushed the top with the egg wash, I sprinkled a mix of White and Black Sesame Seeds on top.
