love2b150: I think your day sounds good.... as long as that fudgesicle is no sugar added Learning to eat more veggies is always a good thing too and I see a good opportunity for it in your menu: you ate peanut butter and laughing cow as your AM snack. Veggies can be a great vehicle for either one of those! Try dipping pepper sticks in your laughing cow, or spreading that PB on a rib of celery for example.
AriRuns: I'm a huge Greek food fan and I sure miss my phyllo pastry! I was inspired by the basic egg muffin recipe on Kalyn's kitchen, and tried to atleast capture the flavour of spanakopita! I use:
about 1 cup of raw baby spinach which I chop up
a hearty amount of minced garlic
1tsp dehydrated onion
1 carton of liquid egg + 1 whole egg (could use 5 whole eggs)
splash of milk
90g light feta, crumbled (equivalent to 3 servings on the package)
salt & pepper
1) Saute the spinach over medium heat with the onion and garlic just a few minutes until it wilts.
2) Transfer that spinach mix to a mixing bowl.
3) Add everything else and give it a good stir.
4) Fill 6 greased muffin cups with approx 1/3 cup of the mixture.
5) Bake at 375ºF for 20-25 minutes or until egg has set.

my husband is studying a LOT for finals right now and it's tough when the kids are home, so instead of going shopping or something, a friend of mine (who is also a law school widow) join up at the gym in the afternoons. Our kids can play together for awhile and we get some exercise. It has been really great!

Loving my hour for seven days challenge so far! I'll definitely have to pull back the number of days I go back to my regular 3-4x/week after this week (I'm going to be making my BF a med school windower as I study for my licensing exam) but I feel great about ramping things up this week!
Hey there - I've been on SB a few times but back to it starting this morning (so, um, a whopping 90 minutes so far... ). I just realized there's a new book and a phase 1.5, but I only have the old books so I'm going with that for now. I like how you are all planning out what you'll eat for the day. I haven't gotten that far yet.
B: kale, garlic, and egg (broiled, with cooking spray & salt)
S: homemade garlic hummus and green pepper
L: salad with hard boiled egg and chicken breast
I'm going to peruse the recipe threads for dinner ideas!
