Real food Day 8

For breakfast this morning, I enjoyed 1 pancake topped with berries, 1 egg, and a cup of fruit salad (homemade...basically just cut up fruit with some lime juice squeezed over it).

Lunch was leftovers from last night's stirfry, but to change it up a bit I added some slivered almonds and some cut up dates - this was a brilliant idea!  The dates added a nice touch of sweetness, and the almonds added some crunch.  YUM!  Here's a picture:

Haven't had supper yet, but I've got a delicious tomato-barley-vegetable soup cooking up in my crockpot, and it smells lovely.  I don't have a recipe, but basically what I did was throw in pot barley, red lentils, yellow split peas, a can of no-salt-added crushed tomatoes, about 6-8 cups of vegetable broth, onion, celery, carrots, potato, and some herbs and garlic.  I'm cooking it in the crockpot on high for 4 hours so that it will be ready for dinner!

Update - the soup was delicious!  Here's a picture:
