Lunch was leftovers (for both Hope and me). I made Tuna Noodle Casserole from my Cooking Light magazine. It was pretty good. Hope loved it! She eat for 3 straight days. And this is on a salad plate.
Then when Hope went down for a nap I found this in our cabinet. I just couldn't resist. Yummy!
We ended up having an early dinner, so no real snack for me. Dinner started with a nice salad of mixed baby greens, grape tomatoes, cucumber, green bell peppers, goat cheese, and light italian dressing (Newman's Own Light).
Then I made "fried" fish (it was baked in the oven) and baked sweet potato fries. Again, on a salad plate.
Since dinner was early and I had no afternoon snack, I did end up having some Breyer's Light Ice cream. Ice cream is definitely my weakness. A friend of mine, was writing about how you pick and choose so much when it comes to food. How she drinks 64+ oz. of water everyday but also 20-30oz. of coffee too. Well for me, it's dessert. I can eat so healthy all day long, but I eat dessert more than I should. We always have ice cream in our house. It's a must!
I make baked fish and sweet potato fries (all actually baked in the oven) almost weekly! It is one of our favorite meals. I love making sweet potato fries -- one giant sweet potato makes a ton of fries for 2 people and they only need to be mixed with a very small amount of oil and some salt before baking. It is also a very economical meal -- enough fish for 2 people in my area can be bought for $4 (we stock up and freeze) and a sweet potato costs $1 or something like that.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the shout out. I'd like to do a day of eating pictorial, but it won't look nearly as pretty as yours. My iceberg lettuce salads don't exactly "pop" in pictures :)
ReplyDeleteGood job with the healthy meals.
