Whats for Dinner?

Whats for dinner?

Salad, just a boring lettuce salad with hardboil egg, carrots, mushrooms, celery, a little cheese and vingerette dressing.

I picked up my first CSA basket of the season this afternoon. I have a club ride in an hour so I won't be cooking until tomorrow. I guess Shot Blocks today. ;) Green garlic soup and salad tomorrow.

Trying to cook tempeh for the first time tonight! :eek:

Been eating giant salads from the garden for dinner almost every night lately. Salad is coming out my ears. :D
Last night made black bean soup with cilantro.
Night before that a big chef salad.

Tonight....instant mashed potatoes, and lemon sorbet. :confused: :cool:
Nice to have a weird dinner sometimes.

Jambalaya. I had a gigantic salad for lunch.

I love jambalaya, but it makes me gassy. Good thing I'm home alone tonight! :D

Newman's Own four-cheese pizza. It was on sale PLUS I had a coupon. So I'm taking advantage of the weather being cool enough to turn the oven on.

Big salad with everything but the kitchen sink.

Salad was last night's dinner. :)
Tonight: the last of the flank steak fajitas I made last week, in a tortilla with rice, spring mix, a bit of cheddar and salsa. With Ben and Jerry's for dessert. :D

Tonight was a mish-mash of things. I didn't really eat lunch because I was riding.... So far for dinner I've had Vanilla Soy yogurt, pineapple, homemade vegan meatball subs (nate's meatballs, muir glen spaghetti sauce, and daiya cheese on a hoagie), and corn! I'm thinking about making a fruit smoothie after if I'm still hungry! :D

If you haven't tried it yet, I would recommend Seitan... It's the bees knees of fake meat! :D

4 course dinner:
(2) swedish fish
(1) lean cuisine pizza (just cheese), with a bunch of 1% fat cheddar added to it
(1) Chobani 0% plain yogurt
and desert...

1 scoop plain soy protein powder, 1 Tbsp cocoa powder, 4 packets of stevia, some soy milk, and psyllium powder = chocolate protein mush. <3

I've got some bad habits. I ride at least 20 miles most days, so I have gotten into eating total crap. My bunnies eat better than I do.

BTW for lunch today I had vanilla ice cream and carrot cake. Lots of both.

It was the monthly birthday celebration at work, and this is one of only two months of the year when we get carrot cake -- because I have seniority for June birthdays so it's my choice and I love carrot cake. (November is the other month, when our VP requests it.)

I scored some leftover cake which I will enjoy over the weekend.

For dinner last night I had a crunchy peanut butter Cliff Bar and a large glass of skim milk. This was before my 20 mile bike ride, when I got home I had a nice glass of low-fat chocolate milk.

This morning I had a banana and milk for breakfast. There may be another Cliff bar in my future for lunch today...

I simply HAVE to do some cooking! I usually bake 4-5 boneless/skinless chicken breasts in advance and keep fresh/frozen veggies on hand so it doesn't take very long to prepare dinner but my schedule has changed this week. I try to keep it simple during the week to save time. More riding = less time to cook, so have to work this out. I like Cliff Bars, but I can't LIVE on them :rolleyes:

Now, that ice cream and carrot cake sounds pretty wonderful :D

I typically try to make two meals over the weekend that will last us through the week. This week it was pork loin with a chipotle spice rub, green beans and sweet potatoes and lentil soup. We finished the pork off last night (it was delish cold) and still have a fair amount of the soup left.

Crab quiche and a mixed green and tomato salad. Crabs were from the Gulf (pre-oil slick) and the tomatos were locally grown "Creole" variety.
