Your menu sounds yum! I like to roast asparagus, too but haven't tried the tomatoes so I'll have to do that. Re the asparagus, it's good w/ the drizzle of balsamic vinegar after it comes out of the oven.

Hope - you copied my lunch! :lol: I was at the store yesterday and lucked onto a pack of precooked shrimp for under $5! Enough for 2 lunches, esp on a salad. Yummmmmm. I love seafood.

I've heard that roasted tomatos are good, too, but haven't tried them. I did try brussel sprouts roast, and omg, they are sooo good. I know I love the asparagus, but then I like asparagus anyway you fix it! :) I'm more inclined to roast veggies in the winter.

I'm eating my snack of cottage cheese/blueberries/raspberries right now. I like it more towards room temp than straight from the fridge. BUt I have a new brand of cottage cheese, and lf rather than ff, and what a difference! It tastes way better to me! I usually add a spoonful of DH's full fat yogurt to cottage cheese - it seems to help the texture as well as the taste.

Breakfast:
Oatmeal(sf)
wheat Germ (sf)
Raisins (sf)
Green Tea (sf) sweetened with Honey (sf)

Lunch:
Chicken and Wild Rice Soup-Chicken breast(sf).wild rice(sf?),carrots(sf),onion(sf),chicken broth,evaporated skim milk

Will definitely try that! I have a bottle of balsalmic and the first time I tried it just a few weeks ago, I put it on some tomatoes and sprinkled with feta cheese. It was so good! So, you just drizzle a little on the asparagus huh? Will do! Oh, I forgot to take my parmesan cheese with me to work (started a new job last night!), so I ate them without it. Actually, my turkey, turkey drippings, rice, asparagus and tomatoes were all in one container that kinda got flipped around in my bag and mixed up. It was like a pretty darn good soup!

I've heard that roasted tomatos are good, too, but haven't tried them. I did try brussel sprouts roast, and omg, they are sooo good. I know I love the asparagus, but then I like asparagus anyway you fix it! :) I'm more inclined to roast veggies in the winter.

I usually love to grill my tomatoes...they caramelize and the flavor is just too intense! But, since it is over 100 degrees here lately :hot:, I decided to oven roast them instead. Not bad, but not as good as grilled ones! Not as messy as grilled ones, though...

I'm an asparagus junkie too! I used to hate it! Of course, that was when I was a kid and my mom cooked them til they were aspara-mush! When I started cooking them for myself, I tried oven roasting them and found that it helps them to retain some firmness and the flavor is intensified as well.

I'm eating my snack of cottage cheese/blueberries/raspberries right now. I like it more towards room temp than straight from the fridge. BUt I have a new brand of cottage cheese, and lf rather than ff, and what a difference! It tastes way better to me! I usually add a spoonful of DH's full fat yogurt to cottage cheese - it seems to help the texture as well as the taste.

Sounds really good! I just finished off the last of my FF vanilla yogurt and don't think I'll buy again. The texture of it is too watery for me and it tastes artificial for some reason. I bought the reduced fat strawberry yogurt from Trader Joe's, so I'll try that. You know, I'm finding that...

...I DON'T LIKE FAT FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE stuff.

Well, a fat free me would be nice!:D

B: cherries, instant oatmeal (does instant count?)

L: Ryvita crackers, Laughing Cow cheese, mixed veg salad (tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion, pickles)

D: Chipotle burrito bol [black beans, fajita vegetables (onion, green peppers), roast beef, tomato salsa, corn salsa, red tomatillo, green tomatillo, romaine lettuce, sour cream]

S: Lindor dark chocolate truffle

I got in 9.

I'm wondering how to super-food my Chipotle. Swapping chicken instead of beef, and guacamole (avocado) instead of sour cream?
