i am so far successful in the no-rice-at-dinnertime plan, which actually means no bread, pasta or sweet pastry stuff at night either. good thing there's meat and veggies. they're good filler-uppers. i heard from a friend who has a chubby friend that chubby friend is no longer chubby. she just started to eat only salads and protein at dinner time for only 3 weeks and is looking pretty svelte now. my, oh my, i'm sooo excited for me, lol!
so today i had pasta and broccoli for brunch. since cooking is such a heavy thing for me these days -read: i hate it, i just zapped a bowl of broccoli florets in the micro, drizzled EVOO and sprinkled some salt on it. i paired it with left-over linguine which i also zapped in the micro along with some light butter and feta cheese, sprinkled them all with grated parmigiano-not-reggiano [lol!] and i had a stinky but yummy meal.
why does broccoli reek so much? i brushed twice now but every time i burp, it stinks up my breath with broccoli gas. i guess 1 minute of zapping was too much. according to google, the gas comes out when you overcook it. blecch!
why don't you try, blanching it boiling water w/salt for just 10 mins. drizzle w/ranch and add some grapes! lami! but if you're skipping fruits, maybe nuts can help you. i like broccoli w/salmon steak.
ReplyDeleteall of the above means prepping and cooking, lol. i am sooo lazy to do kitchen work. he he, i hope you didn't get me wrong, i love broccoli, it's yummy even when it stinks, lol!
