and saw I was basically approaching food in this way over the summer anyway. I've gotten off track over the last two months.

I hardly have potatoes any more, which is for this Irish girl. I need to cut bread down even more than I have, but -- like you -- I'm going with wraps.

I'm essentially doing the right things but need to get back into the smoothies. It's definitely the best way to incorporate the veggie and fruit intake.

I'm with you: I go for simplicity, not stuff with a gazillion ingredients and prep time. I eat a ton of cabbage, kale and garlic.

If I had a way of, inexpensively, dehydrating kale to make kale chips, I'd be a happy camper. I crave a healthy, slightly salty, crunchy snack, and kale chips do it for me, but buying them is ungodly expensive, making them in the oven takes away the nutrients, and my solar DIY dehydrator takes forever and yields relatively little. A super-duper solar dehydrator is on my wishlist.

Thanks for posting this. It encourages me that I'm three-quarters of the way there already and just need to get back on track.
