Day 25

Breakfast: waffles, maple syrup, blueberries


Lunch: grilled cheese sandwich, french fries

Notes:
• Ok, so I'm sure I ate more than this, but I totally can't remember it and I didn't have any other photos... maybe it was just an off day.
• I know, I know, I ate out AND I ate out badly, but we tried to go somewhere different and it didn't work out, so we had diner food instead.

Day 24

Breakfast: honey wheat bagel, cream cheese, raisins


Snack: mandarin orange


Lunch: sausage and cheese raviolis, bolognese sauce

Notes:
• For some reason I'm totally running out of ideas of what to eat; I never feel like anything.

Day 23

Breakfast: banana, Nutella, hard boiled eggs


Snack: colby jack cheese


Snack: popcorn


Lunch: sushi

Notes:
• Ok, really... is there a way to successfully peel hard boiled eggs???
• I technically bought the sushi already prepared, but someday I'm going to try to make some myself.
• This challenge is becoming increasingly difficult lately.
• Upon reflection, today was a very yellow food day.

Day 22

Breakfast: cereal, milk, strawberries


Snack: corn chips with flax seeds


Lunch: egg bread, butter, maple syrup, strawberries

Notes:
• I mowed the lawn today and I swear I nearly had a heat stroke which really destroyed my appetite.
• Can you tell the strawberries are on the verge of going bad, haha?

Day 21

Breakfast: tuna salad, tomato, lettuce, red onion, honey wheat bread, kettle chips


Snack: strawberries, peaches, blueberries


Snack: peanut butter pretzel bites


Lunch: macaroni and cheese

Notes:
• I stayed up too late last night so I slept in and my breakfast is kind of like lunch.
• I really, REALLY wanted sushi for dinner tonight but it was no where to be found :( so I resorted to comfort food 'cause I was so bummed.
• I ate WAY too much mac and cheese. Today was not a good food day.

Tip: Soup Add-Ins

This isn't really a recipe per se, but more of a quick tip so that's what I'm calling it.

SOUP ADD-INS


We have eaten a LOT of soup in this house on busy nights. So much so that we got pretty sick of it. That is, until we discovered Amy's brand organic soups. They. Are. Delicious. Super tasty, healthy, and very reasonably sized and priced. And there are like 30 varieties, too!

The only problem we ran into was that they're also vegetarian and Marcos just doesn't do meatless very well. Fortunately these soups stand up very well to bite-size meat add-ins like chopped ham, chicken, and sausage to make for fantastic and fast main dishes in a pinch.

I highly recommend you pick up a can or two to keep in the back of the pantry for those nights you don't feel like running out or making dinner. Just chop and add some leftovers and voilà! Yummy stuff :)

Day 20

Breakfast: strawberries, bananas


Snack: mini banana muffins


Lunch: split pea and ham soup


Dinner: italian sausage, hawaiian bread roll, ketchup, spinach, strawberries

Notes:
• The soup and italian sausage lunch/dinner combo was a bit too heavy.
• I can't seem to shake this stomach bug. At least it's relatively mild.
• Now the spinach is making me gag :/ WTF?

Day 19

Breakfast: mini banana muffins, blueberries


Snack: colby jack cheese


Lunch: whole wheat bagel, goat cheese, strawberries, honey, peanut butter, plum jam, spinach

Notes:
• Woke up late again and still feel kind of under the weather, so dinner might be out again.
