Nancy,


Thanks for your count. Have you ever gotten fresh beets at your Farmer's market and roasted them? You roast them at 325-350 for about 30 minutes or until they are tender when you stick a fork in them. When they are cooled the skins will just slip off of them and the flavor is so delicious. Wear gloves when you peel them as it will look otherwise like you have done damage to yourself!

Am guessing you might be like me and probably a lot of other people. As we slide into fall, darkness falls earlier, we seem to have a little less energy and I think our bodies tend to crave carbs more just due to the lack of light and time of year!!


Its not so much we are weak as our bodies do relate to the time of year!! Sorta like bears starting to feed and plan for hibernating!!


Hang in there!!

From reading all the posts in this thread and the veggie thread below it looks like we had 57 servings of veggies. Not too bad! Thank you for your report. Look for the questions again next week.

Cheryl,


I counted in the ones that you had posted there but I will edit the posting on the team board to reflect the rest. Thanks and keep eating those veggies!


Now we are up to 72 servings.


Hugs,
