Wow, it's been a while since I posted a menu, unless you count Thanksgiving.
What I'm doing right now food-wise is that the majority of my meals I eat really healthy and monitor my food to make sure I'm getting the right proportion of protein to veggies to grains. Then for two meals a week I can eat whatever I want.*
So here's what I'm eating this week:
Breakfast
Oatmeal with spices and maybe a little honey
Eggs scrambled with spinach and garlic, topped with salsa
Lunch
Curried carrot soup with pistachios (recipe in Vegetarian Times October 2012)
Lentils
Dinner
Black bean enchiladas with avocado
-or-
Basil Coconut Curry
Snacks
Fruit
Smoothies made of frozen berries, unsweetened soy yogurt, whey**, spinach, bananas, and flax seed
Daily treats
Red wine
Dark chocolate
Treat meals for the week
Brunch: Fried eggs, bacon, French toast made with apple cinnamon sourdough. Had this yesterday with the gentleman. And it was more like a late lunch than brunch—I'd already eaten breakfast, been to work, and come back by the time we had it. But it was delicious; I haven't cooked myself bacon in literally decades; it was a rare luxury.
Dinner: Enchiladas Verdes (involves spinach in a creamy cheesy sauce). Pumpkin bars.
*Except that the dairy still has to be organic and the meat has to be free range, etc.
**Pairing soy yogurt with whey sounds weird, but I have my nutritional reasons. Ask in comments if you're curious.
