SLIMMING DOWN TIP: Add vegetables where you can! My pasta today should have included green peppers, onions, mushrooms and zucchini but I didn't bother to because I had company over and just went right for the goods. Plus my company arrived very late so I didn't start to cook till late.
Easy way to include vegetables:
- Buy them pre cut in the grocery store. This will cost you more but you'll at least use them and it will save you time.
- Add a side salad/garden salad to any meal
