What we eat

Here's my favorite meals:

Breakfast:  Bowl of plain/non-fat yogurt with half an orange or grapefruit, half a banana, and a sprinkling of frozen strawberries or blueberries.  A half of a whole-grain English Muffin (Trader Joe's has delicious British Muffins). 

Lunch:  Salad with meat (turkey, chicken, or tuna) and cheese (Jarlsberg Lite and reduced-fat Cabot Cheddar) and olive oil/Balsamic Vinegar dressing.  Or, an omelet with cheese and mushrooms, etc.

Dinner:  Fish or chicken and steamed vegetables.  Or, homemade soup and salad.  Or, spaghetti squash with marinara sauce. 

Dessert:  A Frappuccino, low-fat ice cream bar (Starbucks),  or a Silhouette fat-free fudge bar (the Skinny Cow).   Instant Jello pudding (fat-free, sugar-free) is a quick and easy treat, especially when you top it with a whipped topping like Redi-Whip (fat-free). 

Snacks:  Nuts, apples, hummus with cut-up veggies (sometimes whole-wheat pita bread), and Jello (sugar free).

Beverages:  Water (lots!), coffee, tea , diet soda, and wine with dinner.

Now that I look at it, it looks boring.  But, it's not.  We never seem to eat the same thing twice in one week.  I think it's just cause Louise changes it based on what's fresh in the produce section or at the fish store.  We also eat out sometimes.  ~ George
