Good morning! Here's what I'm doing today...

Late breakfast: RF cottage cheese, purple grapes, 1 slice of toast with natural peanut butter

Mid-afternoon: bean soup

Dinner (around 7:30 or 8): whole wheat pasta with shrimp, broccoli, diced tomatoes, garlic and olive oil

Two of the craziest weeks of my life have now passed and I'm getting back to normal. Here is the plan:

B-cheerios & soy milk, OJ, coffee w/ skim
S-fruit, yogurt or Kashi bar (not sure yet)
L-Pasta with marinara and some tasty meatballs, salad w/ dark greens
S-same choices as morning
D-Stir fry with chicken breast, green & red peppers, onion, basmati rice

I'm also quite certain there will be some dark chocolate in there somewhere. I miss my spinach!!

Sometimes I'm pretty whole foods challenged, especially at dinner time because it is a stretch to get DH to eat anything besides grilled chicken breast and white rice.

As it turned out my afternoon snack was a Snickers energy bar. No that isn't the candy bar, but it is pretty darn close and only counts as a whole food in that I ate the whole thing. Then I came home and had broccoli salad w/ red onions and raisons--a very yummy discovery from the grocery store this morning. I also snacked on some toasted squash seeds.

Dinner was a lean cut of beef, with corn, acorn squash (the source of the seeds), and bruschetta (lots of nice tomato, garlic and fresh basil). Desert was dark chocolate.

Will try for the stir fry tomorrow.

Sounds like my usual Sundays, Anne!

B:
whole wheat pancakes (2), one with syrup, one with pb


S:
Ah, you can count on Lutherans to provide FOOD at the drop of a hat, so after church it's a given. I ate:

1/2 apple, 1 cookie (frosted), about 10 corn chips (those little scoop ones) and salsa. I took one bite of what looked like a trail mix cookie - yuck! Oh, and of course more

L:
1/2 egg salad sandwich on ww bread
8 oz milk

D:
Leftovers. There is chili, made with veggie crumbles; chicken with balsamic/mustard marinade, a little rice, 1/2-3/4 of a stuffed pepper, and hmmm, oh lots of tomatos as we took the plants out today. Guess I'll make a salad and a plate with a spoonful of each of the above. DH gets the same!
