Tofu! Once again your menu proves inspiring - I'll head out and buy tofu today.
How is the actual losing weight going, by the way? Not that scale numbers are all-important at all, but your name suggests that it's a goal, so... ?

Hi, aiminglow. I am down 9 pounds to 134, so about a pound a week since I started again in November. When I reach 130 my plan is to maintain for a bit and see how I feel and how the snoring is. I may need to go to 125.

That sounds interesting; what was in it?

Thanks! It is spaghetti and meatballs for low carb vegetarians. Instead of pasta you get quinoa or riced cauliflower and instead of meatballs you get meatless balls. With quinoa it is 600 calories, 33g protein, 40g carbs. I like it a lot.

That´s really great!

I get the cauliflower but quinoa has about as much protein and as many carbs as wheat, doesn´t it? So I guess you just get a smaller portion than a typical bowl of pasta?

LaMaria, I never realized that about quinoa and wheat -- live and learn!

Sounds delicious, as ever. You eat salmon quit often though, don't you? Aren't you afraid of the heavy metal load?
