After that I was starving and had a serious craving for mushrooms and hummus so I stopped by the grocery store near work and got a bunch of veggies. Its a good thing veggies are low calorie because I can put away an entire container of hummus in one sitting, no problem.
- Red Peppers
- Green Peppers
- Cauliflower
- Mushrooms
- Celery
- Carrots
- Onions
- and a few black olives
Colorful plate equals lots of nutrients! It's always hard for me to choose which hummus to get because I love them all but I decided on the Roasted Garlic today. If you can tell from the photo, I couldn't even wait to take a picture before I started eating. Delicious!
Here's a fun, boredom fighting cardio workout to complete on the elliptical. Remember- you can always take all of the levels down a notch if it's too difficult or up a notch if it's too easy for ya. Just make sure you take them all up or down so that you still get the changing intervals in order to get optimal fat burning!
What is your favorite way to prepare/eat vegetables?
I love roasted veggies. Here is an easy way to roast cauliflower. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. On a foil lined pan place 1 or 2 heads of cauliflower that have been cut into bite size florets. Spray with olive oil and spread into a single layer. Roast 20 minutes, stirring once. Top cauliflower with roasted red peppers from a jar that have been cut into bite size pieces. Sprinkle with one fourth cup freshly grated parmesan cheese and roast 5 minutes more until cheese is melted. Eat and enjoy or dip in hummus. if you make 2 heads it stores well in the frigratior for several days just reheat in the microwave and enjoy some more.
