Breakfast:
-Quinoa with apples, cinnamon and sliced almonds

Snack:
I had planned on a banana but I wasn't hungry so skipped it.
Lunch:

-Salad (greens, chickpeas, cucumber, bell peppers, tomatoes, dill, 1TBSP of crumbled blue cheese and balsamic vinegar)
Snack:
Hummus and pepper strips if I'm hungry later. I may skip it and take a nap instead! Fighting a chest cold the last few days and feeling cruddy.
Dinner:
-slice of foccacia with zucchini, sliced roma tomatoes, carmelized onion and garlic and shredded italian cheese
-Mixed green salad (I may add half of a leftover chicken breast)
Family is having Italian sausage soup along with the focaccia (sausage, tortellini, zucchini in a tomato base).
Breakfast:
blueberry bran muffin from Zen Bakery (these muffins are SO DENSE....SO FULL OF FIBER..HINT HINT!!)
Ralph's Carbmaster yogurt
apple (Pink Lady variety)
Lunch:
went to Panda Express
had steamed veggies
string bean chicken breast
2 veggie egg rolls
Dinner:
my low carb tortilla with red pepper hummus and the bistro lettuce mix
sauteed spinach with shrimp
fat free frozen yogurt
cheese popcorn (disaster!)
Yesterday I skipped the afternoon snack as well but added a handful of nuts before bed.
Dinner was foccacia, salad and instead of 1/2 a chicken breast I had 1 cup of progresso light chicken noodle soup. Sometimes it sucks not being able to eat what the family does BUT...we did chest and back last night and my husband said he could taste his spicy soup multiple times through the workout...LOL, not me!
Today I'm not sure what I'm making for dinner but here's my day so far:
Breakfast:
-Greek yogurt (5 of the 6oz...my puppy decided to help himself to the last of it when I walked away to answer the phone!)
-Banana
Snack:
pepper strips with hummus
Lunch (planning on):
-Hard boiled egg
-Chop Salad (chopped mixed greens, diced peppers, broccoli sprouts, avacado, black beans, tomatoes, cukes and maybe some salsa and a dab of greek yogurt mixed together for "dressing")
Snack:
1oz pepper jack and triscuits
Dinner:
Not sure yet. I'm in the mood for turkey breast, sweet potatoes and steamed broccoli...hopefully my grocery store has a large, fresh breast.
Can usually only find it at the holidays so it might be blackened fish with mango salsa, gingered carrots and wild rice...decisions, decisions...lol
You should try your cauliflower roasted, soooooooo good!
Cut your cauliflower into florets and toss in a gallon zip-lock. Add a little olive oil and minced garlic and whatever seasonings you want. I like it a bit on the spicy side so I'll add red pepper flake or cayenne, thyme, salt and pepper, sometimes a little grated romano at the end of cooking.
Roast in the oven at 400 until desired tenderness. I prefer mine to be on the crunchy side (I cover it so it doesn't burn but some people like the burnt edges).
I once went to a small, family owned italian rest. and saw they had it on the menu....so naturally I ordered it as a side.
Wow I was sooooo disappointed when it came to me and it was SWIMMING in oil...I wound up politely sending it back and the chef came out and asked if there was a way I preferred it cooked. I felt really bad because I'm sure I insulted his cooking but told him how I usually did mine at home and a few minutes later out comes sauteed spinach done my way...LOL
Breakfast:
-Greek yogurt (5 of the 6oz...my puppy decided to help himself to the last of it when I walked away to answer the phone!)

pepper strips with hummus didn't eat this, ate the egg I planned for lunch instead.
Lunch (planning on):
-Hard boiled egg ate this for snack earlier
-Chop Salad (chopped mixed greens, diced peppers, broccoli sprouts, avacado, black beans, tomatoes, cukes and maybe some salsa and a dab of greek yogurt mixed together for "dressing") Got lazy and just had a simple salad (mixed greens, tomato, cuke, broccoli sprouts, TBSP of reduced fat feta and balsamic vinegar)
Snack:
1oz pepper jack and triscuits skipped this snack
Dinner:
Not sure yet. I'm in the mood for turkey breast, sweet potatoes and steamed broccoli...hopefully my grocery store has a large, fresh breast.

Ate the turkey and had TWO glasses of wine...felt like I had to wallow in my own self-pity this evening. Oh well...tomorrow is a new day.
