Cleaning out the crap & recommitting to clean eating!

February was a bit rocky on the good-nutrition path - we strayed rather far afield.  Today marked our return to healthier ways.

We wanted to get the crap out of the house but didn't want it to go to waste so I bagged it up and gave it to a homeless man that we pass daily.  Here is that assortment of leftovers: chinese food, risotto, mashed potatoes, pizza, and a couple of kinds of cookies.  It is out of the house!

Junk, begone!

For now, the cheese and the chocolate had to go, too.  Vacuum sealed & safely stored in the freezer, they won't "accidentally" wind up on my plate:

Cheese & chocolate - you're on hold...

So!  With that stuff out of the way - my lunch was some roasted chicken with a bit of homemade tartar sauce on top & a couple of ounces of farmers market sauerkraut.  (no photo).  Dinner was ground beef with sauteed onion & roasted red pepper.  Bit of cilantro & hot sauce on top & it was delicious.  One of my favorite meals.  If you're doing dairy, a dollop of sour cream really makes it sing (but it's amazing straight up, too).

Most delicious ground beef, onion, & roasted red pepper dinner.

Yum.  Looking forward to some of those leftovers for lunch tomorrow.
