Why being a vegetarian doesn't mean losing weight
Eating like this has gotten a lot of comments from my family. Usually positive. Often in the form of, "Well, the way you eat, you'll be sure to lose that baby weight in no time"
Well, family, you're wrong. And let me introduce you to the reason why.
Vegetable Wellington. Tonight's delight. Every bit as good in person as it looks in the picture.
Goat cheese mixed with pesto (home grown, in our case!) and vegetables, cooked up in a puff pastry, delivering fat to all my most favored fat deposits.
And worth every bit of it.
MMmmm....
Here's a link to the recipe for others who desire this delight. http://www.vegetariantimes.com/recipes/10504?printer=yes
P.S. In case you didn't believe me on the fat thing, here is the nutrition information:
Per SERVING: (and we each had two servings) Calories: 405, Protein: 15g, Total fat: 28.5g, Saturated fat: 10.5g, Carbs: 25g, Cholesterol: 48mg, Sodium: 657mg, Fiber: 4g, Sugars: 6g
Yummy yikes!
