Day 221 - Broccoli Crunch Salad

So today I tried something out of my comfort zone.  I figured after the weekend I had, I surely needed to try something slightly better for me than funnel cake, huh?  ;)  Anyway, I did not like this, but honestly - I think I probably would have if there were no onions.  The onions really bothered me.  I have had no success in liking broccoli at all, and with it being shredded like it was in this salad, it was not so bad - and it was not cooked.  I liked the seeds and raisins too.  The dressing was a little weird and could have totally done without that - but it inspires me that maybe I could make something similar at home, to my own liking, and get some more of the good stuff in me.

Day 218 - Cranberry Salad

So I was offered a taste of something interesting today called Cranberry Salad.  I have honestly never even heard of cranberry salad, much less tried it.  It did not look too scary, and so I took the opportunity to give it a whirl.  I liked it pretty good.  I don't know how good it is for you - or how clean it is - but it was pretty darn good.  I should try to find a clean recipe for such.  ANYBODY have any to offer?

Happy Friday !

Day 183 - Weird Turkey Salad

So today I was feeling adventurous and tasted a turkey pineapple craisin salad.  No, I do not really even like pineapples - but I thought maybe mixed in with the other stuff I wouldn't mind so much.  I was wrong.  The turkey was also not very good in this salad.  This was something put together at a deli, and it was just yuk in my opinion.  I don't know what all else was in there, but I was not impressed.

Meanwhile, tonight I purchased an oil spritzer and a nice big bottle of Olive Oil - - with the intention that I will try roasting vegetables more, as has been suggested by many of my fitness friends.  I bought a bunch of asparagus tonight ... that will be my first test probably.
