How Does Your Garden Grow?
This week I’m continuing to share with you ways to eat more and weigh less.
Eat vegetarian once a week.
Once a week eat a plant-based evening meal. If you do this for one year, you will save 10,000 calories, which is the equivalent of a 3-pound weight loss. Need ideas? White bean chili, portabella mushroom burger, tacos or your favorite casserole made with meatless ground crumbles (I like the Boca brand – found in the vegetarian freezer section) navy bean or split pea soup, black bean burritos. Last week I cooked spaghetti for Danielle and Gary with mushrooms and lots of grated carrots and no one noticed the “missing meat.”
Eat fruits and veggies daily.
Fill up not out with high fiber fruits and veggies. You know they are good for you. So what is your stuck? It is a lot easier than you think. The secret? You have to buy them. Sunday night have fruit in the house for your snacks and veggies in the house for your meals. Fresh is great but don’t forget about frozen, canned and dried.
The only food on your kitchen counter should be your bowl of fruit. Remember we eat with our eyes! What do your eyes see to eat in your kitchen?
I love my life! I have a passion and a purpose to share my recipe for health and happiness with RDNs and others – maybe even more so now that I’ve officially retired.

“THANK YOU for sharing years of your energy with us (with ME). Several years ago, I attended a seminar you taught, and I got some great ideas so I subscribed to Abundant Mondays and I’m so very happy I did. You make a difference in my life even though we have never met. I continue on my journey to adjust and adapt to the changes life brings and to remain positive and a positive influence. With your help.” -KJ
