Day Two hundred and sixty-eight

Dinner: Big salad (spinach, romaine, diced apples, cucumber, cherry tomatoes- from the garden!, zucchini, cucumber- from the garden!- steamed carrots and broccoli, canteloupe, and hard-boiled eggs.  Whew.  Some challah and light ranch on the side, and a cool dinner on a hot summer's eve was done.

Day Two hundred and fifty-six

Dinner: Turkey sloppy joes (with diced apple and pureed butternut squash) on whole-grain rolls, steamed veggies, fresh strawberries.  I'd made sloppy joes a while back, tripled the recipe, and froze the extras.  This morning when I realized we were going to be out till dinner time, I was thrilled to defrost it, and have it waiting when we got home.  I could just kiss myself.  ;)  Here's the recipe.

Day Two hundred and eight

Lunch: Chicken salad on whole wheat potato bread with diced apples and celery, steamed carrots (leftover from last night's dinner), and strawberries.

Dinner: Breakfast for dinner: Pumpkin challah french toast, scrambled cheddar spinach eggs, and cantaloupe.

Day Ninety

Breakfast: Oatmeal with maple syrup, brown sugar, and diced apples. Unfortunately... I had my camera right on the table but forgot to take a picture until we finished eating. Oops.

Lunch: Pizza. I'm reading "Eat Pray Love," and after the author's description of the best pizza in Italy, I had to have some, too. Usually I make the dough in the bread machine, but today I did it by hand. Surprisingly, it was much more pliable.

Pizza: (after)

Day Thirty-four

Dessert (I'm putting this first, b/c it's my favorite): Creme brule (crockpot; recipe: Make it Fast, Cook it Slow). This was SO easy and SO delicious. This woman who wrote this crockpot cookbook is a genius!!

Breakfast: Oatmeal with diced apples and cinnamon.

Dinner: Cheesy rice, bean, and zucchini burritos (whole grain wraps, jasmine rice, red and white kidney beans, shredded low-fat cheddar, and shredded zucchini. I intended to use black beans, but oddly we didn't have any), and watermelon.
