back on the wagon

The last two days have not been bad. I have controlled my bread lust. However struggling with the butter.
Lot's of water, however I know that I've not reached the 100 ounces.

Tuna was yesterday,for lunch. However only used half of the 100 calorie breads. Which saved room for the other half later on.

Today was left over chili, and then huge salad for dinner. Grocery budget is getting better. Not where I would like it, but better.

Today's salad was easy- 1/2 bag of frozen kernel corn 1 15 oz can of black beans and black eye peas- drain, then rinse. * hint, if you rinse them well then it elevates the gas later.
chop up 4 green onions with half of the green parts. grate 2 teaspoons of ginger, add 1/4 cup of grape seed oil, 2 teaspoons of glazed balsamic vinegar, 1/4 cup red onion, 1 glove of garlic crushed. Mix all together. I served it over some lettuce, added an avocado, and tomato. Ymm... very cheap and filling.
Corn- non brand name .99
Black Beans .99
Black eye Peas .99
Onion (green .79
Garlic (3.20 lb) .89
Ginger (3.99 lb) .50
avocado 1.29
Red Onion 1.00
lettuce 2.99

This all comes to 10.43. If you needed to buy the grape seed oil and the glazed balsamic vinegar- add additional -9.00 for the oil and 6.00 for the balsamic vinegar. Remember for these items a little will go a long way.
If you are not sure how you feel about ginger- just get a very small piece. If you don't see one, well it's ok to break one nub off. Again a little ginger goes a very long way. The salad was enough for dinner for two, and will have plenty to take to work for lunch. With lunch I will add in some canned albacore tuna. Healthy eating.
