It’s two weeks before Thanksgiving, aka the most calorie-laden meal of the year in my household. This is my family’s most anticipated meal!
Right now, I’m trying to lose weight so I can put it back on Thanksgiving, haha. I don’t follow a specific diet; I just watch my carb intake. I find it’s the easiest way to shed a couple of pounds.
These days, I mostly opt for lean proteins and vegetables to fuel my body. I avoid sugary foods and limit bread, pasta, and rice.
Of course, it’s easier said than done. The things that appeal to me the most are usually sweet and carb-heavy.
To help myself put more veggies on my plate, I try to incorporate pretty and colorful vegetables in my cooking.
Their pretty colors make them more enticing to eat! I will share with you what I made with these vegetables in the weeks to come.
Now, These!

Thanks for bringing us this Linky Party each week! My husband lost 70 lbs in a year, and had no idea why (he didn’t exercise) but it was because I drastically limited our gluten (gluten-free pasta is just as good), but also our dairy too. I’m lactose-intolerant, so only keep unsweetened vanilla almond milk (to drink & bake with) and unsweetened oatmilk or cashew milk for cooking. Plant sour cream & cream cheese are as good as the “real thing” too. I only use “real cheese” to occasionally make pizza (cauliflower crust though) or mac & cheese. ** My lunch is a quesadilla with 2 small no-carb flour tortillas and plant cheese (there’s a smoked gouda that’s really good). He’s type 2 diabetic (but numbers so good after losing weight, that he’s been off meds for 2 years), but I still bake for him subbing Splenda (regular is = cup = to sugar) with most of my recipes (my pumpkin chocolate marble cake above is one I made SF for him). Unfortunately, artificial sweeteners give me migraines (and I get really sick from Stevia), so I just buy a Pepperidge Farm fudge cake for me and keep it in the freezer! (haha) … Good luck but you’re a healthy eater anyways, so shouldn’t be a problem! (only problem is finding jeans that don’t slide down after an hour ~ even my 00s do that)
