Made this recipe tonight. Prepared enough for two loaves so that I could freeze one for a meal for a quick backup healthy meal. Added diced green peppers and a few dashes of Worchester sauce and added Panko instead of breadcrumbs. Opted out of the potatoes. It was super yummy!

Crock Pot Roasted Root Veggies turned out great! Here's what I did: sliced veggies in approx. 3 inch cuts, tossed with olive oil, garlic, sea salt, fresh ground pepper, rosemary and a bit of caraway seed. Cooked in crock pot on high for 3 hours. yum! They were not mushy at all: I think the secret is to NOT add water.

Started each morning off with a cold glass of ice water and swapped coffee for hot green tea this week. Had a feeling the coffee was too much acid for my system and wanted to see if I felt better. I did! What are you willing to try to learn more about your body?

off to a fitness conference. Packed a few snacks to help keep me fueled thru-out the day using the carb/protein ratio of: apple/protein shake, red grapes/raw almonds, and red pepper strips with baby carrots/garlicky hummus. (I'm a big fan of garlic...but I'll wait to eat that snack last :-p )
