Day 18: Carrots and Turnips

Day 18: Carrots and Turnips
Originally uploaded by maple's mama

We sometimes have trouble eating enough veggies, so tonight's strategy was Veggies First. I roasted a pan full of veggies (5 turnips and 2 monster carrots) with maple syrup, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt and thyme, and we each ate a big bowl, which I think amounted to 2 cups of veggies each. Then we got to eat whatever we wanted.

Maple stopped after veggies and moved on to dessert (her allotted 2 Halloween candies), while I had some flax/quinoa toast. Protein is so overrated.

And poor Sean fell asleep at 6 and could not be woken up for dinner.

Tomorrow night we'll have pizza, and I will share my secret weapon pizza dough recipe, which is really not mine at all, but it's awesome nonetheless.
