What's Cookin' on Tuesday?

[Jan Tz]

Breakfast: pancakes with syrup. Not a great nutritional choice for breakfast.

Morning Snack: oatmeal with soymilk and raisins. If I had just had this for breakfast in the first place, I wouldn't be eating it for a snack in the second place.

Lunch: brown rice, with veggies and sweet & sour sauce.

Dinner, at work: sweet potatoes with cinnamon and chopped walnuts; carrots; peaches and mandarin oranges (this dinner was brought to me by the color "orange")




Happy Halloween everyone!

[Mrs. Doodlepunk]

This was yesterday's food:

B - Cherry Pie Crockpot oats, very small amt. of maple sugar

L - shredded salad, roasted vegetables (parsnips, Brussels sprouts, white potatoes) with some Bragg's

snacks during the day: banana, apple, 2 corn tortillas with 1/2 cup refried beans

S - Delicious chop suey and baked "egg" rolls by recipes from Sandie's site. http://www.geocities.com/sandieb101/Chopsuey.html I also made some sweet and sour sauce to go with but it wasn't real successful, too sour. This meal was one of the best I've made as a McDougaller and we will be repeating it soon!

I have a feeling that I overdid the Bragg's and have gained some water weight so am going no where near the scales today! Oh well, it was worth it!

Jan Tz, love your Orange Menu!!!

Today I hope to stick to my planned menu. Lately, I've been adding to it (maybe a bowl of cereal at night, maybe a sample of what I'm preparing for a road trip or just the next day's menu). That's not good for my weight loss.

Here is my plan for today:
B - pan fried potato with onion

L - mock tuna salad (mashed garbanzo beans, celery, onion, pickle relish, and a fatfree mayo) on a large bed of lettuce with carrot sticks on the side and apple slices

D - large bowl of potato/cabbage soup and leftover steamed cauliflower with cheaze sauce

S - popcorn

Have a Wonderful Day!!

[Della Street]

Breakfast: oatmeal

Snack: more oatmeal (leftovers)

Lunch: 1/2 cup leftover mashed potatoes from last night's dinner, steamed veggies topped with butternut squash sauce

Dinner: crockpot potatoes with salsa (and because I know I won't be able to resist, I confess I will have a couple of Halloween treats this evening - any left over little chocolate things will be stomped on and tossed into the fire pit so as to resist further temptation).

Breakfast: Oatmeal with fruit and soymilk

Lunch: Fried rice (from McD Quick & Easy), spinach salad
