Day One hundred and twenty-four

Dinner: Three-bean turkey chili (with carrot puree, butternut squash puree, and shredded zucchini) served over brown rice, with light shredded cheddar and light sour cream; fresh sliced strawberries, and green beans. Perfect for a freezing cold evening!

Day One hundred and sixteen

Breakfast: Oatmeal made with strawberries, skim milk, cinnamon, and a touch of maple syrup.

Dinner: Teriyaki chicken (with carrot puree, recipe: Double Delicious), over brown rice pilaf (with cauliflower puree, recipe: Double Delicious), vegetable medley, and orange slices.

Day One hundred and fifteen

Lunch: Scrambled eggs with shredded low fat cheese, carrot sticks, and sliced apple. I wasn't actually intending to make this for lunch, but when three eggs accidentally cracked as we took them out to boil for dinner, I decided eggs it was!


Veggies in the steamer-- two lbs. of organic baby carrots, two heads of broccoli, and two heads of cauliflower. Some of this ended up being...

Purees for the freezer: Cauliflower



Purees for the freezer: Carrot



And the rest of the steamed veggies ended up being...
Dinner: Big Salad (steamed broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots; romaine lettuce and baby spinach, garbanzo beans, crunchy noodles, and sliced hard-boiled eggs, with light ranch.


Fruit salad with "fairy dust" (aka cinnamon)

Day Ninety-two

Chocolate peanut butter dip (with carrot puree; recipe: Deceptively Delicious) and sliced apples. My kids love this dip, but today it went with my husband, for a holiday party at work.

Dinner: Turkey meatball heroes (with pureed butternut squash mixed into the marina sauce), steamed broccoli, and clementines. Confession: I barely made any of this. The meatballs were ones I had made a while back and frozen, and the bread was picked up last-minute from Shoprite. I was at my daughter's school for the afternoon today, and my plan to put dinner in the crockpot before I left never happened. This came out well, though, so all was fine in the end.
