Wednesday:
B - nf yogurt, flaxseed, walnuts, granola, banana, strawberries
L - leftover tofu curry on rice
D - zucchini frittata, little extra cheese
S - grapes
E - 2 mile run

I like pancakes, French toast, and scrambled eggs, so I would probably like matzo brie! I'll have to keep my eye out for it, I'd be interested to try it. Thanks for the pronunciation guide, too, so I don't look silly and pronounce it "breee" like the cheese.

Thursday plan
B - coffee w 1 T h&h, 1/2 cup oatmeal w cinnamon, medium banana, 1 cup skim milk
L - 3 oz roasted pompano, chickpea salad made w chickpeas, chopped cuke, green pepper, tomatoes, 1 t evoo, lemon juice, s & p
S's - 1.5 c pineapple, 6 oz lf yogurt
D - lasagna, the last of the garlic bread, salad
E - HIIT and a good shweddy cardio workout
