Day One hundred and sixty-six

Lunch: Garden vegetable soup with mini ravioli.

Before: Eggplant spinach rollatini. I made this a few weeks ago, and froze an extra. I thought it looked pretty neat from the bottom.

Dinner: Eggplant spinach rollatini, whole grain pasta with tomato alfredo sauce, steamed broccoli, and sliced pear.

Dessert: Milkshakes (ice cream machine) made with skim milk.

Day One hundred and fifty-nine

Lunch: Another batch of garden vegetable soup, this time with mini ravioli.

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.

Day One hundred and fifty-three

Lunch: Garden vegetable soup

Dinner: Garden vegetable soup, with turkey meatballs (I thawed a bag I had made a while back-- these are the Sneaky Chef meatballs with pureed green vegetables), and leftover whole wheat penne from a few nights ago. A lovely way to use up leftovers yet have a "new" dinner, without too much cooking.

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-five

Lunch: Garden vegetable soup, with parmesan cheese and whole wheat crackers. This soup is so easy to make, it's a tomato/chicken broth base, you toss in whatever veggies you have on hand, and it's really hearty and healthy. It's loosely based on the original "Zero point soup" made so popular in the 90's by Weight Watchers.
Dinner: Leftover chicken marsala, we used the extras from the double batch I'd made.
