I’ve been on the Cookie Diet for quite some time now. I’m ecstatic to report that I’m finally out of the 200’s and am more motivated to reach my goal than I have been. As of late I’ve noticed a huge difference in my eating patterns. I no longer overeat the way I used to. That long lost signal informing me that I’m satiated has finally been found. I think for me this is a really big milestone considering I grew up believing I had to eat everything on my plate — ‘There are children starving in Africa!’ I’ve also noticed I’m not interested in eating any of my once coveted favorite foods.
The only sad thing is I’m completely bored with all the fast food I used to eat (not to mention my stomach can no longer handle it.) That means figuring out what I’m going to have for my next meal is way more complicated than it used to be. However this has expanded on my usual cooking menu. While visiting John in FL I made pork chops (with carmelized pears and onions) with mashed potatoes, paprika parmesan chicken and coucous and lastly lemon pecan pork chops. It was all deliceaux, if I do say so myself.
All that being said, here are a couple of great recipe websites for those looking to spice up their dinner options.
