Progress comes one day at a time...

Well, progress does not just suddenly happen. It comes one day and step at a time. I am deciding NOW to plan ahead a LOT better. I need to not leave my food till the last second when I am starving. Last night I made a pasta salad... I went big so that I could take it to church for the potluck tonight, as well as have my food for the next few days. Cut it down to size you want...

2 boxes Whole wheat pasta... cooked...
1 can rinsed low salt black beans
1 can rinsed garbanzo beans
1 can drained corn
1 little can drained sliced olives
Broccoli
Cauliflower
Carrots
Fat Free Feta... about a cup went into this
Kraft Free Zesty Italian... whole bottle with 2 boxes of pasta
1/2 cup dill relish
Herbs to taste.... Parsley, dill etc...
I just added a few cashews to it too... YUMMMMMY

I tend to steam the broccoli, cauliflower and carrots about 1/2 time just to bring out the bright colors and tenderize them a tad.

Mix it all in a big bowl and day 2 is better than the first day though it is wonderful right when you make it.

I sometimes also add diced hard boiled eggs and fat free turkey ham.
