Day Fifty-two

Breakfast: Whole wheat crepes (recipe: Sneaky chef) with chocolate syrup, banana slices, and a sprinkling of flax seeds; and a blueberry-strawberry yogurt smoothie.

Dinner: Turkey nacho bake (ground turkey, beans, taco seasonings, diced tomatoes, and a scoop of butternut squash puree). Usually the chips go at the bottom when I make this, but my friend Melissa brought this to a party recently with the chips on top, so I thought I'd try that to see if the chips got less soggy. It worked! Thanks, Melissa L!


Dinner: Turkey nacho bake, salad, avocado, and grapes.

Day Fourteen

Breakfast: Whole wheat mini-bagels and fruit salad. My daughter wanted a smiley face. :)

Breakfast: Smoothies. Homemade yogurt, nectarines, blueberries, and bananas, with a splash of honey.


Dinner: A beautiful basil-sundried tomato-parmesan orzo salad, which my husband made for us to bring to a BBQ at a friend's, but forgot to photograph. I'l leave it to the imagination ;)

Day Thirteen

Dinner: Whole wheat french bread. The dough is a bread machine recipe- pretty easy.

Dinner: Farmer's market lasagna (recipe: Parents magazine). Whole wheat lasagna noodles, part-skim ricotta and mozzarella, spinach, diced zucchini, yellow squash, red peppers, and shredded carrot. This made enough for two nights' worth of dinner... hooray!

Dinner: Mango chunks and blueberries.
