VW day 2

I'm still alive and feeling good and oddly enough not missing meat.

B= apple sauce, cereal and strawberries
L= Left over pasta from last night
Snack= trail mix
D= butternut squash soup

I made a bit batch of butternut squash soup today. I froze a bit but don't know if it freezes right... I also froze extra squash that was left over for use at a later date. I glazed pecans today for salad this week.

I also went to Farmboy to look for Kale. I think it's not in season so i'm giving up.

In my trail mix there is dried bananas and pineapples. They're very sweet. I guess that's what happends when you dry food, it intensifies the flavor.

  1. Dry mangoes are even more sweeeet!I always feel like eating dry fruit is bad cause its so sugary.

    I will check and see if we still have Kale here - you are probably right - it may not be in seaon.

  2. Is dry fruit good for you? Internet says:
    Dried fruit is great if it is just that, dried fruit. Many store-bought dried fruits contain added sugar and trans fat. The key is to read the label. If the label lists anything other than the fruit, such as sucrose and/or partially-hydrogenated oil then skip it. Also, if you're watching your calories then be careful as dried fruit is higher in calories than its fresh counterpart. The plus side of that is that while dried fruits are high in calories, they're also high in other nutrients that you want in your diet.
