What did you eat today?
Breakfast: Grapenuts, cranberry juice
Lunch: Leftover black bean soup
Afternoon snack: Hot cocoa from Bittersweet. Also Coke zero
Dinner: Pasta with sundried tomato pesto
Dessert: Some weird lemon tea cookies Suzanne was experimenting with. The cookies were OK, but the lemon slices made them soggy and slimy in the middle. And the lemon slices were a bit sour for my taste.
Breakfast: Grapenuts, cranberry juice
Lunch: Leftover black bean soup
Afternoon snack: A few milky way darks, Coke zero.
Dinner: Another iteration of the pizza rolls. Tomato sauce and prosciutto. These were slightly smaller than before. Two of them was almost dinner. Had a salad to put it over the top.
Breakfast: Grapenuts, cranberry juice. Plus a couple of strawberries. That’s right, it’s mid January, and I’m still getting the occasional strawberry out of the patch. Crazy.
Lunch: Turkey sandwich.
Afternoon snack: Milky way dark. The Halloween candy is starting to run low. Coke zero
Dinner: Black bean soup. Recipe was from Epicurious, and not particularly good… called for 3 cans of broth, which was clearly too much. Ended up pureeing another can of beans, which helped. Also added some Siracha sauce, which also helped.
Dessert: Coffee ice cream with some leftover ganache
Breakfast: Grapenuts, cranberry juice
Morning Snack: Apple
Lunch: Turkey sandwich with leftover sauted onions on a leftover pizza-dough roll
Afternoon snack: Chocolate chip cookie from Aroma. Coke zero
Dinner: Rice and beans and cheese
Dessert: Ice cream on banana blondie.
Breakfast: Grapenuts, cranberry juice
Morning Snack: Apple
Lunch: Turkey sandwich with cranberry juice. Stupidly, I forgot to use the rolls Suzanne made last night. Hope they are still good tomorrow.
Afternoon snack: Coke zero
Dinner: Ramen
Dessert: Leftover banana bars, also took a bit of the ganache from the top of them that was in the fridge… heated it up and poured it over thin slices of ice cream. It worked really well, and reminded me of the fresh-dipped bars you used to be able to get in Haggen Daz stores.
Breakfast: Grapenuts, cranberry juice
Lunch: Turkey sandwich with cranberry
Afternoon snack: 2 milky way dark, coke zero
Dinner: Stuffed spinach and mushroom pizza from Zacchry’s
Dessert: Experimental persimmon cake (for Suzanne’s dad). It was way better than I was expecting… more like a carrot cake (which I also don’t love). So I’d never order it for my birthday, but I started with the smallest sliver I could cut and ended up going back for more.
Breakfast: Grapenuts, cranberry juice
Lunch: Leftover ramen
Afternoon snack: Milky way dark, coke zero
Dinner: Rice and beans
Dessert: experimental banana bars with penuche frosting…. Mary came up with this recipe somewhere, and it was pretty awesome. Made it better by dumping on some leftover ganache we happened to have in the fridge. Color me happy!
Breakfast: Grapenuts, cranberry juice
Lunch: Leftover spaghetti with chicken and pesto
Afternoon snack: Score! Found the christmas toffee that someone at work had stuck in the freezer before everyone cleared out ofr the holidays. Coke zero
Dinner: Ramen with Suzanne’s homemade noodles. First try.
Breakfast: Grapenuts, cranberry juice
Lunch: Leftover chicken biryani
Afternoon snack:One (only one) teeny, tiny milky way dark. Coke zero.
Dinner: Buttermilk chicken, green beans, sourdough bread
