I was busy this weekend cooking. I'm going to start eating the McDougall diet. I used to eat that way a long time ago and I felt great and I lost substantial weight, for pretty much the only time in my life. So I'm basically going vegan.
First, for lunch, I made Red Lentil loaf, from frugalveggiemama's recipe. Looks pretty doesn't it?!
To moisten it and make it even tastier, I made some mushroom gravy. I used some veggie broth powder I have around the house. I'm getting low on it and I don't remember where I bought it at. I need to mark the container.
.
I got a bunch of sourdough starters and I am trying one, it's called Carl's 1847 Oregon Trail starter. Yes it's really that old. I made a whole wheat loaf. As expected it took longer to rise and I don't think it will replace my usual whole wheat bread, but it's pretty good. You can taste more of the wheat and just a bit of the sourdough flavor.
Lastly, for my last omni meal, I had grilled chicken breast and Yorkshire pudding, which is a particular favorite of my partner.
So tomorrow I start, eating starch and veggies and fruits and grains. For my health and to lose weight, which I need to do desperately.
Wish me luck!

wishing you the best!!!!! :)
Good Luck with your new diet endeavor. I love McDougal's recipes (it helps if you find the index for the recipes - which is burried somewhere deep within his site). I just made the broccomoli. It was good but I added a lot of cumin, seasoning salt & pepper, and jalapeno (I left out the hot sauce because I didn't have any). I still think it could use a little tinkering but the general idea is great.
