New Faves

My family knows how much I disliked meat before surgery....now it's all I want to eat.  One of the most repulsive things to me used to be tuna. Now, I have found tuna that I absolutely love and can eat by itself. In fact, I keep it stocked at my office, for those just in case moments.  Here is a link to my new treat Starkist Hickory Smoked Tuna Packet. I just rip the pouch open, dump the tuna on a paper plate and enjoy. Now, I'm sure there are other ways to eat this that include fantastic recipes. I am more of a minimalist--I like it plain. Maybe you won't like it, but I do.

My other new favorite is a non-meat source of protein. I am so in LOVE with this. I can't keep it stocked in my refrigerator. I've got my sister addicted, too. Dannon Light and Fit Yogurt in Strawberry Cheesecake is so delicious! Sometimes I actually think that I can taste the cheesecake crust. Yum! If you don't like Greek yogurt in general, then you probably won't like this. I like to add some chopped pecans to this just to get a little extra protein and Omega 3's.

I am still allergic to Whey so most protein shakes don't work for me. I don't want to get too much soy in my diet, so I try to stay away from shakes. It can be a challenge to get my 60 grams in per day and meet my calorie requirements, but I will keep pressing on. Food is fuel, but I want to enjoy it too! I hope you enjoy trying my new faves.

Peace, Love and Joy,
