I ate some Greek yogurt at midnight last night when the macrobiotic experiment was over… but I woke up bloated and full-feeling. I think I might have to try staying away from my beloved yogurt for a while longer.
Enjoy the Oscars and have a great night. What’s on your menu plan this week? Anything new?

23 February, 2009 at 3:45 am (7 years ago)Menu looks awesome. I have been wanting to make vegan mac and cheese for a while…I have this powdered non-dairy cheese in the cupboard that I might try to use this week. I seem to recall you have made this before? Or am I making things up? Haha. Either way, any tips? 🙂

Sorry about the yogurt bloat as I know you were really excited to eat some after no dairy for 2 weeks. 🙁
