#20 Cook/bake a new dish every month
I am doing the South Beach Diet (I prefer to think of it as a way of life instead of diet) and have tried many new things. Of course, I haven't taken pictures of any of it, so you will have to take me at my word...but what's new. I am not supposed to have potatoes and if you know me at all then you know that potatoes are pretty much my #1 food! In order to give me that potato taste (Those of you fellow potato lovers know what I'm talking about!) I made a recipe from the South Beach Diet book and was pleasantly surprised: Cauliflower Mashed "Potatoes". Instead of using actually potatoes you steam or boil cauliflower, pulse it in a blender, add a little fat-free 1/2 and 1/2, a wedge or two of laughing cow cheese, and pray that your taste buds are gullible! Now, I will not lie to you and say that it is as good as legit mashed potatoes but it is satisfying if you are deprived of the real thing.
So, if you are feeling bold then give it a try! :)
