RAVE - Schmave

Ok, so the Rave diet is a bit too extereme. Although we are continuing with the vegetarian lifestyle we have decided to add a few things back in to the pantry.

Oil - omg how are you supposed to cook without something to prevent your food from sticking to the pan? We have agreeded to add a bit of olive oil back into the diet.
Yogurt - plain yogurt only, the flavored yogurt has high fructose corn syrup and sugar or sugar substitute. Oh, the Greek yogurt you can get at the store is totally AWESOME!
Pamsean Cheese - Yes I understand, but it's the only cheese we're adding. (and it makes the polenta so much better)

I must say that I was pleseantly surpised today when Rick called me from work and said that

1. He was offered half a chocolate donut today and will power gave in and he accepted, to to have taken 2 bites and toss it out because he thought it was so sweet that it made him sick (wow, 2 weeks without refinded sugars and now it's just too sweet).

2. He told me they were having a fundraiser cookout at his work offering, burgers, hot dogs, brats with chips and a soda for $5 and corn on the cob for $1. He told them he was a vegetarian and asked to replace the burger for a corn, and had baked Lays and a water.

Way to go sweetie!
