Somewhat higher calorie count today thanks to breakfast out with a friend. We went to a place with no available fruit, which is a little odd this time of year, so I indulged in a bowl of oatmeal with my omelet and skipped the toast and potatoes. Usually I do omelet and berries or melon, but no such luck today. Because I had oatmeal at breakfast, I skipped grain at dinner and had roasted carrots and -- drumroll please -- one-half cup of oven roasted broccoli. I have not eaten broccoli in 3 years. I have been really anxious to find out if I could tolerate a small portion of broccoli or cauliflower, so as to relieve my growing veggie boredom problem. So I got a small container of broccoli florets all cut and washed, and roasted it up with olive oil and seasoned sea salt. I measured out a portion for myself and sent the rest home with my downstairs neighbor so I wouldn't be tempted to eat anymore until I've gone through a few days and know whether I was able to digest it. If I can, next week I'll try out cauliflower. If this works out, then I can do it once a week. The Whole Foods salad bar always has broccoli and cauliflower, so I could buy just a servings worth and not waste anything. I can't believe I'm getting so excited about cruciferous vegetables!
