Closing In On 100 and trying to keep things interesting

I weighed in this morning.  I am down 95lbs.  5 more to go....I thought I was plateauing but it is not the case.  Good news.  :-)

It's been a long couple of weeks.  It is that time of the school year that the fatigue is starting to kick in and spring break can't come soon enough.  I have to admit I am getting kind of bored with my usual food items.  The Greek yogurt is still good and will probably be a mainstay in my diet for a long time to come.  Lunch is harder- I just don't have the kind of time I need to really eat so I only have a very small meal that will get me through the afternoon.  I do a lot of low fat turkey and cheese roll ups which are fast and easy.

I tried two new recipes today. I made Foodie Fiasco's Cauliflower Risotto tonight- using chicken stock and a Vadalia onion.  I finished with some pecorino romano, for a little tangy salty/nuttiness.  I had really needed a break from meat for one meal- it was nice to just have some veggie goodness.

I also made something I am calling Oatmeal Protein Cookies- adapted from another recipe.  Here is my version:

Preheat oven to 375 F.

Mix all the wet ingredients together. In a separate bowl combine dry ingredients.  Slowly add dry to wet.  Scoop out golf ball size cookies onto a silpat - I used an ice cream scoop to get the same size cookie each time.

Bake for 10-12 minutes until lightly browned.
