Yes, that Derek, RunKitty. He's down-to-earth and reassuring, so he's on my short-list of people whose cooking vids I might actually spend time watching. From that vid, I followed over to his 3 sauces (dressings) vid and went to the actual recipes in the wording, so I have those 3 down now in my recipes. My hope is that this would inspire me to have large salads more often, even when craving a creamier dressing.
Things I did wrong over the holidays:
I allowed gifts of sugary/fatty desserts to "guilt" me into "not wasting them".
I allowed the many bread-like items showing up to get onto my plate.
I allowed the egg-y dishes others brought to take the place of my own choices.
HRH has quit cheese. He suggests that if I want to give something up this year, that might be a good choice since we'd be on the same page. Thinking about it. Sweet drinks or flour items also would be a wise things to cut out completely, but difficult to monitor, and I doubt if I could be absolute with that. Of course, I don't have to be perfect, just take aim. So far, I'm not having any of these, but then it's the second day of the year, lol.
Trying to substitute green tea for coffee in the mornings. Haven't yet found a brand I like. Or maybe I just don't like green tea.
During the holiday Grand-Central Station around here, a McD's Big M sandwich came in, but the rest of the food must have looked better so it was going to be a left-over, and fridge space was at a premium. Someone, trying to keep it from being wasted, gave Tobias one-quarter of the meat patty that had not touched cheese. Tobias sniffed his dish, took two steps away and turned his back to sit down. We were all called to look and were pretty impressed with that since you never see Tobias ignore meat - he's the opposite of finicky.
