DOUBLETREE MODESTO MY BreakfastYes, it is official. Once a month, Dale and I will be indulging in the ambiance of the Doubletree Modesto. Their lavish service that can be totally addictive between 6am and 11 am weekends. Breakfast is “served” daily. You must know that they have two menus with an offer reserved for those who want it all. The Dream Deal is why we chose to come on Saturday. DOUBLETREE MODESTO Breakfast 2      The generous offer sounded wonderful but the proof was in the lightly scrambled eggs, scrumptious sausage, tantalizing bacon, French Toast, oatmeal, cold cereals, all kinds of muffins, rolls and bread, fruit, freshly cut and whole, ever flowing juices of all kind and coffee.DOUBLETREE MODESTO Breakfast WHOLE FRUIT

Hate Vegetables – Love Chopped Salad

Hate Vegetables – Love Chopped  Salad Chopped Salad 3

Under no circumstances, what-so-ever, would I intentionally eat 90% of the ingredients in this salad.
Lettuce, tomatoes, provolone cheese, Genoa salami, and artichoke hearts, roasted red peppers, green peppers, zucchini, and pitted black olives, pepperoncini, broccoli, banana peppers, carrots, cucumbers.
I must confess, I love, love, love most Chopped Salads.
I know I haven’t been known to eat vegetables. I also know that adding fresh greens to my diet can reduce my risk of cancer.
Low-Energy-Density Vegetables    Style Chopped Salad
Eating foods that are low in energy density — or calories per gram — helps you feel full even when you eat fewer calories, making it easier to lose weight, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Vegetables in general tend to be low in energy density, but non-starchy vegetables are lower in energy density than starchy vegetables. Fill half of your plate at each meal with these vegetables, which include salad greens, carrots, green beans, cauliflower, broccoli, turnips, radishes, celery, peppers, eggplant, beets, artichokes and cabbage. http://www.livestrong.com/article/375405-the-best-vegetables-to-eat-for-weight-loss/
