Enjoying a new outlook

on food, exercise, etc.  I've been a member of Tully for years but have stayed mostly in the pool area.  I'm enjoying trying out the land classes like Senior Walking this morning, Yoga (harder than I expected) last Sun., etc.  It's sort of like being at a restaurant and trying out various dishes that sound good. 

I used to plan meals by buying a hunk of meat and figuring out some veggies to accompany it.  Now I'm trying to start with veggies and use the meat, if any, as the side dish.  I tried making a veggie stew yesterday using a bunch of frozen vegetables, some canned tomatoes and veggie burgers broken up into it - nice flavor but the burgers got a little mushy.  Had some of the microwave popcorn Michele recommended as an accompaniment rather than the tortilla chips mentioned in the recipe and it was very satisfying.  Definitely looking forward to tomorrow night's cooking class to get more ideas.
