For the filling, I use a block of frozen spinach, 1/2 can of low fat cream of mushroom soup, diced grilled chicken breast, crimini mushrooms, sun dried tomatoes, artichoke hearts, roasted garlic, onions, cumin, cayenne. 2 whole wheat tortillas, little low fat cheese, lots of salsa

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! 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.
I want to see how many I got in today so here goes:
Breakfast
yogurt
blueberries
multi grain hot cereal
Snack
Kashi cherry and dark chocolate bar
White nectarine
Lunch
Turkey Sandwich
Lite Mayo
Whole Grain lite bread
Small handful of pita chips
WW chocolate sandwich
Snack
Handful of almonds
Mocha Light Frappacino
Dinner
Grilled Chicken
Roasted veggies - asparagus, mushrooms, scallions, zuchinni and orange pepers
tomato and cucumber salad with red wine vinegat and olive oil
Maybe later-
Cherries
Looks like 16?? Is that right? I also swam and walked a lot in this blazing heat trying to get some last minute shopping done.

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!
