Potato chips
I cooked a roast sirloin yesterday and had it with mushrooms and Brussels sprouts. It was very good. I still have more of the sirloin left for today.
In contrast, I had potato chips. Now these chips are just potato, cottonseed oil, and salt, so there is nothing there that violates my January eating plan. They are, though, pure carbohydrate without much nutrition. Thus, I shouldn't be having these every day, or binging them as I am so prone to do with salty chips. I know this, and thus I know not to buy them on every grocery trip.
An upside to the potato chips, though, is remembering to pull my Whole 30 cookbook out to find sauces. I made a Whole 30 friendly ranch dip (no dairy, no sweeteners, etc.) and it was amazing. I may use it with Brussels sprouts when I eat the leftovers. The book has several other recipes I've tried and enjoyed, so I must remember to use the book more often.
It's easy for me to plan a meal around meat, but I am neglecting my vegetables a little bit. I need to commit to work in the vegetables as much as I can.
Really tired this week. I have a lot going on. Even the potato chips didn't help with that. Perhaps I just need a nap.
