I've only got tonight and tomorrow figured out so I will share those.
Tonight: I have been perfecting a recipe with wheat angel hair pasta and I think I have done a mighty fine job if I do say so myself.
It is angel hair pasta with a light margarine and lemon juice "sauce" mixed with tomatoes, green onion, parsley, mushrooms, parmesan, and onion.
Tomorrow: Protein "scramble" with egg whites, tomatoes, mushrooms, baby spinach, and a wedge of babybel cheese. Side of toasted mini pita bread and maybe some yogurt.

Lorilove - how do you make your green beans? I quick-saute mine, then steam them with a bit of chicken broth and a "paste" of lemon zest, minced garlic, cracked pepper, and kosher salt.

I live by myself and tend to cook in batches, so for tonight and the next four nights, it will be butternut squash mac & cheese with chicken.
