Ben and I have a plan to eat healthy and lose weight this year. We’re trying to limit our meat consumption (Word of Wisdom<\/a>), only diet soda, and when we eat out (hopefully less often) we’ll eat less of the portions and order lower calorie foods. Ben is also committed to cooking one meal a week so he’s less dependent on me for dinners. <\/p>\n

Here are some of the things I made in my kitchen so far this year.
\"\"<\/a>
BBQ boneless chicken with corn muffin and roasted brussel sprouts (my favorite new way of cooking them). <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Roasted carrots and parsnips, lemony lima beans with parmesan, and buttered noodles.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Blueberry lemon muffins.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Broccoli soup. The creaminess comes from using oats – there’s no cream, cheese, or milk!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Chinese chicken soup (chicken, peppers, carrots, and garlic)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Turkey meatloaf, braised butternut squash and sage, wild rice.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Carrot cake with cream cheese frosting and candied ginger.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Tofu udon soup with spinach, shitake, and scallions. I HATED this. Ben liked it well enough.
\"\"<\/a>
Tofu tacos. I hate tofu, but this was an acceptable way of eating it. Black beans would have been better though.
\"\"<\/a>
My version of massaman curry with sweet potatoes in place of regular, scallions instead of onions, and lowfat coconut milk.<\/p>\n

Ben also made some pasta and bean soups that didn’t get photographed. I made old vegetarian favorites that I didn’t record as well. Overall I’d say we’re doing pretty well this year.
