Dear Judy said I should list what I do eat. So here goes and know that this is not complete and once in a blue moon I veer away..... I eat carbs. Whole food carbs: brown rice, barley, oats, whole grain tortillas and pasta. I eat tofu and canned beans like garbanzos and black beans. Non canned beans like lentils and black eyed peas. On my list is color. I like a colorful plate so in goes the rainbow: onions and garlic and green peppers and broccoli and cauliflower and the lowly potato and yams and love me butternut squash color. So garishly orange! Bagged spinach and not too often, kale and green beans and peas. Fruits: love that fruit. Especially when its in season. Grapes and raspberries and bananas and apples. Home cherry tomatoes are fruit. Other times of the year tomatoes come to me in cans and jars like tomato sauce and pasta sauce. Sauerkraut for condiment and mustard. Not eating catsup cause its sweet and sweet means I will attack it with a kiddo will. I eat bread. Bread that I have made so that I know what is in it: home ground wheat flour and store white flour, sometimes sesame seeds, sometimes raw oats, flax seed. And peanut butter. I'd be a goner without our home peanut butter. These are the outer layers of what I eat. These are what I make my meals from. (Forgot the carrots that must go into the lentil stew and of course the onion.) I do love my food. I've managed to shed over forty pounds this past year but oh don't you distract me when its time for me to eat! I hope this answered your question, dear Judy. Can't forget avocados. They help out in many ways, including pudding time. (I also am known to indulge in unsweetened baking cocoa blended up with dates.) Pudding time! Must have that every so often or go battier than usual.
