Day One hundred and eighty-four
Dinner: Oriental express (chicken and veggie stir-fry over chow mein noodles; recipe: Annabel Karmel) and peaches. I made a double batch of this dish last week and froze one. Usually we don't eat the frozen meal so soon, but it was a perfect no-cook dinner for tonight.Day One hundred and eighty-one
Breakfast: Yogurt parfaits- vanilla yogurt, blueberries and strawberries, and granola.
Lunch: Spinach pizza bagels on whole grain bagel thins, steamed broccoli, and sliced pears.Day One hundred and eighty
Heath chocolate chip cookies (whole grain)
Ground chicken breast, with pureed butternut squash, seasoned to be used in tacos/burritos. After this was cooked, I split it into two packages and froze both for future dinners. This wasn't for tonight's dinner, but since I was already browning ground chicken, I figured I'd cook it all and save myself some steps next time.
Baked ziti, with ground chicken breast, pureed yellow squash, and low-fat ricotta and mozzarella. One was for that night's dinner, and I froze the other.
Dinner: Baked ziti, steamed broccoli, blueberries, and bananas. Thursday, March 24, 2011

A night off! My parents brought over dinner from the diner, and there was no cooking. :)
Day One hundred and sixty-two
I didn't actually cook this, but, as I was taking pictures of the pureed broccoli, my daughter wanted in on the action. She displayed a Laughing Cow cheese, and her hand was too cute to resist.
Purees for the freezer: Broccoli. My parents had a big bag of fresh broccoli that was a little past its prime but still usable, and this was the best thing I could think of for it. It was either this, or soup, and this seemed more useful.
Dinner: Rotisserie chicken, wild rice, fresh broccoli, and pears. My MIL brought over dinner, and I promised she'd be featured here. ;)Day One hundred and sixty-one
Breakfast: Strawberry blueberry smoothies.
Shredded yellow squash, for the freezer. This is great for putting into quesadillas, meatloaf, and spaghetti sauce.
My husband's dinner: Steak, bread and butter, grapes, and steamed carrots. I think I had leftover chicken, as I don't partake in beef.Sunday, March 6, 2011

Dinner: Turkey meatball "parm" sandwiches (with green veggie puree; Recipe: Sneaky chef), fresh baby spinach, and orange slices. These were from a batch of meatballs I'd made a while back and frozen. This evening I did a quick defrost (a last minute doctor's appt prevented making dinner as planned), and threw it together on whole wheat bread with marinara and light mozzarella.
