What a weekend!

Why was the weekend so great? We did absolutely nothing -- except for work -- but I stayed totally on the Belly Fat Cure eating plan, and didn't once crave anything. Nothing. I felt normal and in control Friday night through this morning.

I'm not analyzing why. I am just so thankful.

The following recipe I made Saturday for lunch,using leftovers in the fridge. It was so delicious, extremely filling, and I plan on treating myself to it again and again this week. I used my new favorite no-wheat bread, Ener-G rice bread, but use whatever bread fits your eating plan. I'm thinking a pita would be extra special.
