Virtual Farmers Market

Day 2 of Fast Forward was a success! I ate the exact same thing as yesterday, except I used cashews at dinner instead of almonds since I ran out. I’m hoping that by tomorrow morning a few of those 5 lbs I gained have disappeared.

I found my mouth watering for the blueberry smoothie that I had at lunch today, and again when I had the parfait. This took place the last 2 times I completed the Fast Forward phase too. I found myself craving the spices cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves before I ate them. Even though there is a small amount of sugar in the way I have modified each of my meals (since I loathe plain yogurt and tart raspberries), I think my taste buds are starting to clean up again. Yay!

I’m really excited about an upcoming virtual farmers market that I just joined here in NE Ohio. It’s called Fresh Fork Market. It’s a CSA (community supported agriculture) program. They deliver fresh, organic foods from local farms every Friday, and it begins on May 27. I am super excited to see what will be in the first weekly basket of groceries. Can’t wait to make meals that are Cinch-friendly out of the ingredients. A typical basket of groceries from last year included: 1 Free Range Organic Chicken; 3 lbs Red Norland Potatoes; 12 oz Stuffing (day-old bread); (6-count) Rustic French Dinner Rolls; 1 bunch Organic baby carrots; 1 to 2 Organic Yellow Spanish Onions; 1 bulb German White Porcelain Hardneck Garlic; and 1 lb Organic Benchmark green beans.

Day 3 ends my Fast Forward phase tomorrow. Thank goodness. I made the Tuna Pecan Pasta for my husband tonight, and I wanted to eat some myself.
