Monday- Avocado/Cilantro chicken

Tuesday- Split pea soup (from the freezer)

Wednesday- Minestrone soup

(Andy leaves Thurs. through Mon)

Thursday- leftover whatever

Friday- I might have some friends over for dinner, so something yummy that I'll plan later

Saturday- I'm going to Bend to visit Carla, so we'll probably go out for dinner

Sunday- leftovers

New idea for my food blog

I'm going to start menu planning each week. And this is the place where I'm going to do it, even though I have no readers on this particular blog. It's mostly just for me instead of doing it on paper and losing the paper.

So here's for this week:

Tuesday

B - Green smoothies

L - Green lemonade + pb&j on sprouted grain bread

D - Chicken and mashed potatoes (with sautéed green beans or zucchini if I can get them from my mom's garden and baby tomatoes)

Wednesday

B - Omelets with heirloom tomatoes and avocado

L - Tuna sandwhiches

D - Shells and white cheddar with steamed broccoli (before youth group)

Thursday

B - Cereal with blueberries or blackberries, bananas

L - Corn dogs

D - Spaghetti with steamed veggies (broccoli, green beans, etc.) and small spinach salad

Dessert (with Ryan F.) - Apple (or blackberry if I can find some) pie and vanilla ice cream

Friday

B - Green Smoothie

L - PB & J on sprouted grain bread, peaches

D - Soup of some kind

Saturday

B - Whole grain pancakes with blueberries and maple syrup

L - Bean burritos

D - Chicken Curry

Oops!

I've been slacking on my food log! I don't think anyone reads them anyway.

Yesterday I had:

1 banana

1 apricot

1 quart green juice - romaine, spinach, cabbage (makes it kind of bitter, or I had too much lemon?), lemon juice, apple

1 Chocolate coconut Lara bar

Tuna melts (very bad, but we were very hungry!)

Popcorn

I started out well, but went downhill from there.

Yesterday was my niece's first birthday, so I ate a little worse than usual. I had:

A banana

2 scrambled eggs

A BLT sandwhich

A small-ish piece of blueberry muffin-cake with vanilla ice cream

Bowl of cereal (We were in a hurry to get to youth group)

A little bit of vanilla ice cream at youth group

Stove top popped popcorn with himalayan crystal salt

Oh my goodness, I just realized that I had almost no vegetables yesterday, aside from on my BLT. I need more vegetables!!

1 pint green smoothie - spinach, banana, strawberries, peaches, and vitamineral green powder

1 quart green juice - romaine, spinach, cabbage, celery, apple, lemon juice

Small handful of walnuts

Banana

Homemade fresh organic hamburger with spinach and tomato

Fresh fruit juice - I blended up cantaloupe, pineapple, an orange, and 1/2 a banana - delicious!

A little bit of stove top popcorn with himalayan crystal salt

May 19

1 bowl of raisin bran cereal with milk

Pico de gallo (lots of it) with tortilla chips

Home made skirt steak fajitas in flour tortillas with pico de gallo - delicious
