For breakfast, I started out with yet another breakfast cookie. I smell an addiction on my hands! I made this one exactly like yesterday's, but had it with a side of peaches (1/2 cup) and a two spoonfuls of plain non-fat yogurt with a sprinkle of cinnamon. Breakfast isn't complete without a cup of coffee!
My morning snack was simple and delicious. Who can argue with fresh strawberries and a cheese string? All I needed was a glass of wine and I could have been French! (Something tells me that the French don't eat processed cheese strings. This is just a hunch).
Lunch was a good old-fashioned sandwich, just like how mom used to make! Except mom never used hummus, now did she? This whole grain sandwich had homemade hummus, 1/2 an avocado, sliced tomato and baby spinach. The bread was very fresh. Always a bonus.
After my usual cup of Starbs coffee, I wasn't too hungry for my afternoon snack until 4:00 pm. I treated myself to a Pistachio Larabar. I hadn't tried this flavour. It was subtle, but very tasty.
I love that the ingredients are so basic and natural. 5 grams of protein, 4 grams of fibre, 10 grams of fat, and a WHOLE DANG LOT OF DELICIOUSNESS.
For dinner, I really went hog wild. I had a can of Amy's Butternut Squash soup. The hubs had some too, but was more interested in my leftover pizza from last night. I made us some salads using up most of the contents of my crisper. This salad included:
- Spinach
- Cabbage
- Strawberries
- Tomatoes
- Green pepper
- Avocado
- Walnuts
- Hummus
- Broccoli
- Mushrooms
- God knows what else
- Maple balsamic vinaigrette
I love a gigantic salad like this. So satisfying!
The plan is to have some green tea for an evening snack. I know that my eating will get kind of wacky these next few days, so I'm going to try to stay away from the kashi crackers and peanut butter jar tonight!
I don't know about the French, but I do know that Martha (Stewart) is disgusted by string cheese (how I say it).
ReplyDeleteDisgusted by string cheese? Well I suppose that Martha and I can have ONE thing in which we disagree! ;)
