This is my second week of macrobiotic eating and I’m loving it so far. My secret cupid sent me the most amazing gift (The Asian Vegan Kitchen) so I used that for most of my menu planning this week. Thanks again Olga!
This was my dinner tonight (Bobby got Domino’s takeout) -
This was breakfast -
Bobby had cheesy grits (on the left; 1 serving grits, 1/4 cup cheese mixed in, plus cheese on top). (On the right) I had 3/4 cup oat bran with cinnamon and 1 tablespoon of peanut butter mixed in while cooking. I think I like keeping the peanut butter on the spoon though; I couldn’t taste it much.
