Blogworthy?

It's been too long since I've blogged here. Actually, we have been in quite a routine as far as our diet goes. Neither of us has lost any weight in about 4 months now but we have been nicely maintaining while we eat whatever we want. Whatever we want has increasingly meant cookies, muffins, cake, etc. I'm really happy that I haven't gained any weight back during this "rest and eat" time. :)

As far as our daily nutrition, naked burritos, stir fry, scrambled tofu, and chili with cornbread still lead the pack as our standards. We still eat lots of bananas, raisins, oatmeal, and whole wheat bread too.

I haven't done anything new for awhile now but a couple of days ago, I felt a little creative and did a change-up on our naked burritos. Here's what I did:
1. Put a little salsa in the bottom of a casserole dish.
2. Used a can of fat-free refried beans and covered the bottom of the dish.
3. Piled on a bunch of basmati rice on top of that.
4. Put some fresh chopped cilantro next.
5. Squeezed a lime over everything.
6. Sauteed a chopped onion and tomato seasoned with cumin and put over the top.
7. Served in a bowl with a dollop of fresh guacamole.

It was really delicious and the creamy refried beans really gave a different texture than the naked burritos with the black beans that I usually use. Maybe we'll call this one "Fajita Casserole". We will definitely have this one again. It was a great use for leftover rice.

Today I cooked some pinto beans (used some veggie broth and a chopped onion and cooked them all morning). We steamed some carrots in one of the Ziploc steamer bags and I made some corn fritters. They were really good. I used the regular recipe for cornbread except I used a can of cream style corn instead of the liquids (so no soy milk). I "fried" them in a non-stick skillet. They were pretty tasty and John loved them. They were kinda bread and kinda veggies and something a little different. I'm sure we'll add those to the rotation too.
