I haven’t quite gotten a hold of the idea of taking pictures to represent the things I say and do.  Case in point, I made a great salad today and it never even crossed my mind to snap a photo in case I wanted to use it.  Hey, I was starving!  So here’s what you get:

My handwritten copy of this salad recipe. Recipe from the Hunger Fix book by Pam Peeke.

My protein was canned chicken.  Raw veggies were cucumber, celery and green onions.  Beans were chick peas.  I am NOT a salad person, just as an FYI.  So I am posting this because, well, it was good!  And it was a lot of food.  The canned chicken was tender, the veggies added crunch, onions are just my favorite anyway, the beans added creaminess and the nuts and dried fruit was just a bit of sweet.  I am going to try and make these into a “salad in a jar” to see how it holds up.

I have read the Hunger Fix book and I really recommend it.  It gives the medical “why” to the how.  It’s not about trying some new “fad” or eliminating things from your diet, but rather explains why your body reacts the way it does to foods and how to break bad habit cycles.  Of course nothing works unless put into practice.
