We get a farm share every summer, and it always starts out with tons of spinach and other salad greens. One of our favorite things to do is cover a big plate with leaves and then top it with something tasty like seasoned canned salmon (no mayo!) or tofu in spicy peanut sauce. It's amazing how many leaves you can chomp down along with each bite of a yummy protein!

Look at me joinin' in with a dinner of movie popcorn (extra butter) and peanut M&Ms.
The peanuts count as nutrition, right?
And I did have water instead of Coke.

I'm with you...salad is just not my thing. Unless it has lots of cheese and croutons and salad dressing that completely negates the purpose. It's sad really.

I like the idea of a gateway salad. Maybe I should start making some of those.

When my brother got married, my dress didn't even think about zipping. Thankfully I found a wizard of a seamstress that made it fit. I too definitely need to join in on Weight Loss Wednesday, but the 2 piece of coffee cake and blueberry muffin that I've already had to eat today and probably not helping considering I'm currently drinking a sweet tea. 🙂

I think this could be a new RFOA project! SERIOUSLY! Who better to talk about healthy eating habits with a little sugar mixed in? 😉 I have heard a couple other fine upstanding RFOA members grumping about weight on FB just this morning, and I'm in the mix. Maybe if we all join in, we will keep each other honest, light and healthy! I'm so in that I'm going to go to my WW page and record what I've eaten today! GAME ON!

You are in good shape with your dress! I'll have a pair of plyers on hand for my dress anyway! ;)

As for a salad, Michael and I have a way of making up a grilled chicken salad that I actually LOVE. We use baby spinach. Then Michael cuts the leaves off of some romaine lettuce hearts and I cut up some grilled chicken breast. Sprinkle a little cheese and low fat or fat free ranch dressing and we are in salad heaven! (Did you ever think you would hear me say that?! haha) We get the chicken when it is on sale and the other ingredients at Ruler, so this is a cheap AND healthy meal for us. Double score! :)
