Day Two hundred and sixty

Dinner: Chicken marsala (McCormick recipe, adapted for the crockpot) over egg noodles, steamed zucchini and broccoli over romaine lettuce, and watermelon.  A perfect dinner to come home to after an afternoon at the pool!

Day Two hundred and fourteen

Dinner: Chicken stroganoff (crockpot) over egg noodles, steamed vegetables, and blueberries.

Dinner #2: For some reason my husband decided to BBQ for himself even though I'd already put dinner in the crockpot. A burger with onion and colby jack.

Day One hundred and ninety-eight

Dinner: Cream cheese chicken over egg noodles (crockpot; Recipe: Make it Fast, Cook it Slow), fresh broccoli, and cantaloupe.

Day One hundred and thirty-six

Lunch: Another batch of garden vegetable soup, this time I tossed in some egg noodles (leftover from the chicken marsala), and a little turkey. Everyone here loves this soup, and I think I am addicted to it. Thank goodness it is so healthy!!

Dinner A: Mini cheese ravioli with marinara sauce, blanched spinach, and turkey bacon. Yes, I am aware that turkey bacon doesn't go with pasta, and that this is THE most random meal, but there is a reason. We were planning to have breakfast for dinner and I'd already thawed the turkey bacon, and then we were in the mood for pasta.

Dinner B: Actual breakfast for dinner (my husband still wanted it, so he carried it through). Eggs-over-easy with cheese, spinach, and turkey bacon, served on a whole grain bagel thin.

Day One hundred and thirty-two

Snow day lunch: Baked grilled cheese and apples (low fat cheddar), steamed baby carrots, and grapes.

Dinner: Chicken marsala over egg noodles, sauteed collard greens, and strawberries. Since this meal was time-intensive, I doubled the recipe so that we can have it again w/o all the cooking. Whew.

Day One hundred and twenty-three

Dinner: Chicken or beef burgers (chicken for the girls and I; beef for my husband) on whole grain sandwich thins with romaine lettuce and tomato, egg noodles in a light cream sauce, vegetable medley, and orange slices. Eating vegetable medley is getting really old, but good vegetable options are so much more limited in the winter, and I feel better knowing we are at least getting variety. I vow to find something more interesting the next time I'm at the store!

Day Twenty-eight

Dinner: Chicken Stroganoff over egg noodles (crockpot), kale, and sliced pears. Kale was made by my mom, as we were at her house, and I only brought my crockpot. :)

Day Eighteen

Dinner: Chicken Tetrazzini (crockpot) over egg noodles, lima beans, and fruit salad.
