I thought I'd start a weekly menu thread for this week.
Monday
B: Steel cut oats (cooked in the slow cooker) with walnuts, dried cranberries, and cinnamon, sugar free latte.

I'll edit later with my other meals.

I ate WAY TOO much today. I kept it healthy but still it was too much.

L: rustic garbanzo bean, spelt, and kale soup (recipe from Sonoma cookbook). This was my first experience with Kale and I have to say I think I like it. This soup was time consuming but it is very good and I would definately make it again. 1 apple.

S: this is where I got into trouble. a Luna bar and a dark chocolate bar-YIKES!

D: Garlic, Mustard Flank Steak, toasted bulgur and pine nut pilaf, and mustard greens salad. 1 glass of shiraz.
How am I doing with my plan to eat more veggies?

This morning, for breakfast, I had shredded wheat & bran cereal with skim milk, juice, coffee and FF half & half. My snack was a piece of 2% cheese. Going out to lunch with the ladies from work...not sure yet what I'll order. Dinner - I'm thinking of making some ratatouille, with my whole grain bread and a glass of red Italian wine.

L: open face roast beef sandwhich, peach cobbler (took a collegue out to lunch)
S: pecans
D: left over garlic mustard flank steak, toasted bulgur and pine nut pilaf, 1 glass of shiraz. Maybe some strawberries for dessert.
