Month: May 2014

THURSDAY I ATE:

Breakfast: Shredded Wheat and grapefruit juice.

Mid-morning snack:  Some kind of granola/oat/fruit bar my friend Rebecca offered me as we headed out on a walk.

Lunch:  Leftover lasagne cupcakes, apple.

Afternoon snack:  It was cold and rainy.  Tessa asked for oatmeal.  Sounded so good that I made some for myself, too.  Lots of brown sugar and a dash of cinnamon.  Perfect comfort-food snack.

Dinner:  Anything goes nachos!  Everyone’s plate looked a bit different, and we had one serious outlier that included not a speck of cheese.  Will someone please talk to my daughter about this?  You can’t have nachos without cheese.  Am I right?  Anyway, here were the topping choices du jour:  black beans, sausage, chopped chicken, green onions, black olives, artichoke hearts (random, I know, but requested by small girls, and actually quite good),  cheddar cheese, salsa, cilantro, and sour cream.  

Wednesday I Ate:

Breakfast: Shredded Wheat and grapefruit juice.

Mid-morning snack:  Yogurt and a banana.

Lunch:  Clearly I need to go to the store because all I could scrounge was part of a leftover ham & cheese stuffed chicken breast.  Don’t get me wrong, I love leftovers, but I usually like a bit of variety on my plate.  Literally all I ate for lunch today was the stuffed chicken.  I’m guessing it would have been great in a sandwich if I’d only had some bread.

Afternoon snack:   Half a nearly melted ice cream sandwich that my daughter handed me when I picked her up at school.  I didn’t expect to like it, but man was it delicious.  I now feel better about all the dollar bills that my kids spend on this PTA fundraiser every Wednesday afternoon.

Dinner:  Lasagne cupcakes and green salad.

Dessert: First root beer float of the season!
