D: It's Restaurant Week, so we went to the Blue Room in Cambridge. You get a 3 course dinner for a fixed price. Except for the dessert, I did fine. Had a shaved veggie salad for my first, grilled Arctic Char on a bed of parsnip which looked like a potato pancake, and an upside down apple crumb cake with vanilla ice cream. The portions were smaller, which means they were normal. I could have done without the dessert and I left most of the cake part.
And I had 2 two glasses of rose wine. Feeling very spring-like.

small slice of Easter stollen cake-bread, 2 cups of tea with skim milk

more tiny slice of stollen

14 mile easy bike ride
85 minute hard group workout with a protein shake afterwards
L: beef shanks in broth with spinach and a poached egg, sweet potato
D: Moroccan Meatballs over cauliflower-rice with Velvety Squash - and both were lovely! I was going to make some cauliflower rice pilaf but am tired of cooking, will probably make it tomorrow night.

HERE is the recipe for the velvety squash - and it is VERY good. Any winter squash or even sweet potatoes will do - I chose to use kobacha squash. I really like them and I can cut them far easier than butternut squash.

My weekend eating was nuts. Well, not actual nuts! I did not eat anything that would be considered 'off plan' but my eating wasn't good. Except for a good breakfast each day, I hardly ate normal meals. I snacked a lot. I also biked on Saturday (yay!).

Today things will be more back to normal on the food front (I hope!)

B: eggs with mixed greens, bacon and scallions in them, sausage patty, few pieces of roasted sweet potato
S: banana with almond butter
L: chicken apple sausage, steamed mixed veggies with olive oil and seasonings, apple slices
S: (if needed) hard boiled eggs
D: salmon, asparagus, green salad, blueberries

Catrin - I've made that recipe before (Velvety Squash) but I found it was WAY too garlic-y for me. I probably should have been smarter and recognized that when she said a head of garlic, she didn't mean a head of home grown garlic which is much stronger than most store-bought stuff. I should try it again and cut it in half, at least.

[Catrin]

I like garlic I only made a small squash so I cut the garlic in half. I didn't have pecans so I used what nuts I had. Very tasty and a different way to make squash and to get some good carbs into my diet.

[Crankin]

2 dried apricots and a small glass of almond milk before boot camp
B: egg whites, kale, and lox scrambled, an orange, coffee
L: 3 very small left over chicken pieces, about half a cup of black beans, an apple
S: corn tortilla with hummus, a few nuts
D: taco on a bed of lettuce. No shell, ground turkey with home made taco seasoning, home made guacamole and salsa, dish of strawberries, 2 squares dark chocolate
