I can imagine that living in your house during cabbage week would not be fun. I don't think I've ever had cabbage, might goggle it now to see what vitamins and minerals it has.

LOL another cheese addict, cheese is my favourite food, cheese on toast heaven - and reminds me of dad. Saganaki is even better, no bread
I love every cheese I have ever tried except those weird amercan plastic things and English orange stuff.
I instantly fell in love with that girl on MKR who said she gets cheese for xmas. What a great idea, the French brie I love is $90 a whatever, slice is $5.
About the Mexican.
I make a very rich heavily tomatoed beef bol sauce.
Lots of garlic, & many spices etc, cooked for at least 3 hours..
And then left overs, get turned into, shepherds pie, or meat pies, or Mexican - get a Mexican flavour packet, I use taco it's the cheapest, or there are burrito, etc.
Just mix that in and voila, we use it in wraps and make our own burritos with salad & cheese, sour cream. Or add the same packet stuff for chile con carne, add red beans, done.
Add fresh herbs if you have them especially corriander
In the past I've rationalized my massive cheese consumption by saying to myself "Well you don't drink milk so this is a great way to get some calcium into me". LOL.
Whenever I have burritos I use the Old El Paso pack, never thought that I could use left over meat from spaghetti, but I don't make mine like you do, I just use a bottle of domino sauce and add garlic and onion. Now I am rethinking the way i make spaghetti, I would love to make my own sauce for it, might have to Google that. LOL.

Went to pancakes on the rocks tonight with in laws. I ordered the Mexicana crepes and shared a strawberry patch pancakes for dessert.

So jealous right now!!
The only problem with having the savoury one is the risk you can't fit in a sweet one, although I always seem to find the room, I just sometimes require assistance with basic things like walking around. Strawberry patch is good... so is macadamia madness, and coco berry, and banarama, and the black forest one, and bavarian apple. Actually, I like them all.
Mexicana is a good choice, one of my favourites even though it doesn't contain meat. Thai chicken and monte cristo are good too. Actually, you know what, once again I like them all.
Sorry, don't mind me, I am just dreaming of POTR now.

Oh dear lol. What did I just do! I normally like the monte cristo one, but didn't feel like it tonight. My all time favourite dessert one is banarama. I've always shared the dessert though. I never do the whole thing on my own. I love POTR too.

They are really easy to make but require effort to get up and do. I edited this post because I just remembered that you avoid food because you said you are just a lazy eater lol.
Well I hope your next outing will be to have pancakes. Maccas hot cakes are pretty good

I love cabbage - as long As it is not overcooked. I have two favourite cabbage based recipes if you want them . One with chicken and one with beef mince.

I love cabbage with butter. And it goes with corned beef.
A lot of people like it fried with bacon.
News - Maccas is looking at home delivery, OMG. Wondered how long before all the fast food places started delivery.
Will this just make more fat people that have to be lifted by crane from their homes???

I made varying dips tonight with pita bread, made rissoles, and a rice dish with lentils on the side, and a garden salad.

I also had a serving of spinach today [MENTION=36472]Illabeth[/MENTION]! Very rare for me. I spent the weekend at my parents place and actually ate pretty healthily all weekend (by my standards) and my mum made me breakfast this morning which included a smoothie that she snuck some spinach into. I honestly couldn't taste it, maybe this is the secret to eating spinach. If only I could do this with all vegetables.
Despite the spinach I have actually felt sick all day so haven't really eaten much else, but I ate an orange for dinner. So fruit and leafy greens in one day, very unusual for me to eat that much even in a whole month. I also ate pretty much a whole jar of pickles for dinner because I had this massive craving for them. Hmm first I crave ice cream and now pickles, maybe I'm pregnant hehe.
I know! This news actually had me excited which is pretty sad. It's only in the Western suburbs though, it almost makes me want to move out west. Almost. But not that much.

Oh, I'm sorry you have been sick, but yay for spinach! I had mine in my scrambled eggs today. The bacon drowned out the flavour. My HM despairs when she makes me eggs for breakfast. 1 egg and 4 rashers of bacon, and today half a cup of spinach leaves (and she made me pack them down!). I was really good too! I had a fruit salad for lunch too, half a banana, 2 strawberries and half a mango later and it was goooood. My mummy brought over a whole lot of yummy expensive food 'cause I'm writing my thesis. We did good today, fruit and veggies all in one day!
Although I am now eating crisps and mince pies for dinner. Also on my 4th can of coke for the day. Oops.
Pickled cucumbers are so good! I have them on sandwiches with cheese. But I also like cheese and peanut butter. Or peanut butter, sultanas and grated carrot. That is one of the way I get through carrot week, sometimes I add honey or golden syrup too.

OMG, I just scoffed a happy accident
Have been trying to perfect French toast for a while now.
I have never had it, so only going from descriptions most recipes were crap.
Mum never made it.
Anyway, have tried a few different things. But today, I left the bread in the mix all day in the fridge, forgot it.
And when I cooked it - yummo, custardy middle, crunchy sweet outside
Next I will have to try custard powder in the mix, that could be awesome.
Anyone make French toast? What is your recipe?
My mix now has, egg, cream/or milk, sugar, vanilla, maple syrup.

I'm glad I can make someone smile. I had a banana, blueberry and cherry smoothie today inspired by [MENTION=34226]jessy_girl[/MENTION] That is where the good ends though, cause my other food consumption has been vegemite toast, coke, energy drink and now some microwave lasagne :/

Haha, well I will have to keep it up if it makes you smile, just for your benefit (and possibly also mine). But yeah have to say my mum is awesome.
Wow this must be a world first, me inspiring someone to eat healthily! I also consumed an energy drink and vegemite toast today. I love vegemite, and even my health freak sister eats it, so it can't be that bad. I picked at some salmon for dinner which was actually pretty tasty, but I really wasn't hungry. There was also brown rice and something green on my plate but I didn't eat them.

[MENTION=36472]Illabeth[/MENTION] and [MENTION=34226]jessy_girl[/MENTION], it's fine that you are still on the diet you were on, but the fact that you are introducing the good ingredients in your diets is what makes me smile. I have a little confession, I don't think I've ever had an energy drink. Actually no, I have, once with vodka. I remember now, because I was a raving lunatic that night.
By the way JG, I'm shocked you tried salmon! Good on you!
Illabeth doing smoothies- I like!

I don't usually drink energy drinks, not since I was at uni. The past few days I haven't been able to stomach coffee so they have been a second-rate substitute. My parents would possibly disown me for drinking them, but oh well.
I was pleasantly surprised by the salmon. I only ate a small amount but it was actually quite nice and not too "fishy" and the texture was nice too.
I'm thinking smoothies really are the way to go, I can't believe I ate spinach without even tasting it. My mum said I can put more green things in there and cover the flavour with cacoa if I can't handle it. I like banana in smoothie form, so maybe I should start from there.

Oh this is so great to read! Smoothies are so delicious to me. I'm glad you like it and more that you enjoyed salmon. You are doing so well JG. I'm wanting to know what your mums reaction is though. I'm betting she is rather proud of herself, as she should be
Today I places some water and maple syrup in a small saucepan, added fresh blueberries and sliced strawberries and stirred for 5 minutes, added sliced banana dnt stirred another minute and sauce was ready. I had this with yoghurt and muesli... Yumm. I had my sugar hit for the day
