We were away on the weekend, and on Saturday I pretty much threw the rules out the window by eating a chocolate chip cookie and some chocolate peanut butter pie (though, they were both homemade!). But now I am back on the real food bandwagon!
Last night I boiled some eggs so that I would have some handy to throw in salad, or eat as a snack. So, this morning I had coffee, a boiled egg, and some dried fruit.
Lunch was a quesadilla (whole wheat tortilla, cheddar cheese, spinach), and then for snack I had another tortilla with plain cream cheese, dates, and sliced almonds. The plan for dinner tonight is stirfry on brown rice.
I find that meal planning really helps me to keep on track with healthy eating, so every Sunday I sit down with the flyers and plan the meals for a week. Sometimes I don't find the flyers that helpful because the stuff that is on sale most often is processed food. However, it's good to know what produce is on sale and plan around that. Meal planning prevents those "it's 5:00...what's for dinner?" moments, it saves money because it means less trips to the store (and I don't buy things we don't need), and it also means less wasted food.
Here's our meal plan for the week:
Monday: Stirfry (veggies, brown rice, tofu)
Tuesday: Salmon, whole grain couscous, steamed broccoli, salad
Wednesday: Soup and salad (just Peanut and I)
Thursday: Spaghetti Squash with Roasted Red Pepper sauce (NEW - I'm using this recipe)
Friday: Black Bean Tortilla Pie (also new, with this recipe, and homemade tortillas)
Saturday: Leftovers
