More preparation

Went to a couple markets today... (my day off is now monday, which actually makes this project easier to do.)

First a local "international (middle eastern)" Market:



That Bulger is for tonight, going to try my hand at Keftah, I'll try to post about the process, make it my first real Recipe Blog Post. Later this month i'll try to find a recipe for taublloueh, I tried that once at the veggie grill and it was outstanding.



This is my emergency lunch, if i can't come up with anything else for lunch, Fake turkey!....



These are my "emergency" foods, For nights when I don't have time to cook, but need a meal. The indian ones I could prepare myself, but they take awhile. Week 3 might be "indian food week"

The mayan Harvest bake is one of the food products that inspired this trip. It is quite possibly the best frozen meal ever made, despite (or because of?) being vegetarian (maybe even vegan)

I have a plan to try and recreate this recipe, maybe next monday. I'll try it twice, once without googling for help, and once after...


So, yeah, I went a little crazy at the bulk foods sale at Sprouts. Got some 7 bean and barley soup, rice, some granola with hemp, and Some quinoa for later on...

Also made my first blts for tomorrow's lunch, forgot to take a photo.

but I did take a photo of yesterday's bacon buy!





enjoy!

Preparations

Got blogger for my phone. Woot. Went to costco and bought a pack of pre cooked bacon. Along with some veggies. Sadly no black bean burgers, that's a bad thing... Made black bean chili tonight while watching the oscars, I'll share more on that when I'm not on my phone.

Welcome to bacon vegetarian

Just a little experiement I wanted to try for myself. I've been going to farmer's markets and have a really cool cookbook called"best recipes for health" which has some delicious vegetarian dishes in it. So I thought, i wonder if I could go vegetarian for a whole month...

But then I thought, that's boring. and I remembered these delicious black bean burger patties they sell at costco and how good they were with eggs and bacon, and I had my answer.

I am going to attempt to go the entire month of March eating only Vegetarian meals with splashes of bacon (as well as egg and cheese and milk, don't know if those are vegetarian or not, whatever)

The point of this blog is to keep me accountable, I'll list the recipes I make, the food I eat and a rough idea of my weight watcher points and see if I can lose 5-10 pounds while doing this.

wish me luck!
