I had a better day today.

Breakfast was 2 boiled eggs, 3 pc. bacon, some cheddar cheese, and an APPLE. Lunch was going to be a burger patty, but the microwave went missing. So, I had another APPLE and a can of L/C Slimfast. Dinner was what I could salvage out of an awful steak. It was a really bad cut....the ugly side was on the bottom! Oh, and I had a SALAD with it and the rest of the Carb Clever PEACHES from last night. (2 servings)

There's my 5!

Henry.....what's in the taco pie? That just SOUNDS good!

Breakfast was Maggie's cereal w/dried cranberries.Lunch was a mixed lettuce salad w/cherry tomatoes, cucumber, green onions, and stuffed olives, a piece of taco pie, and 1/2 an apple. Dinner was an oven fried chicken breast, spaghetti squash w/chopped pecans, broccoli, and 1/2 a piece of Cheesecake Factory l/c cheesecake.

Maxi, I was not able to find the recipe for taco pie that I got from an internet chat room. However, it was similar to the cheeseburger pie recipe here. So, since I was making a double recipe, I just took 4 lbs of ground turkey and browned it with garlic and onion and seasoned it with salt, crushed red pepper, chili powder and cumin. Spread 1/2 in a 9x13 casserole, added a layer of chopped green chilis, then the rest of the meat. Covered it with shredded 4 cheese mexican cheese, beat a dozen eggs and 1 cup of sour cream, poured over the meat and baked until done. I serve it with Pace Picante sauce.

That sounds easy enough! Thanks.

Yesterday, I had some raw veggies for snack and some fried onion type things for dinner. It was not a good day. I was on plan, but not much on F's and V's.

Today I've had spinach in both my breakfast and lunch. Dinner will be at Luby's tonight. They always have a nice selection of veggies. I'll check back in later.

Breakfast was Maggie's cereal w/dried cranberries. Lunch was a chopped steak w/sauteed mushrooms and green beans. Dinner was a LCE potluck with Kansas City area participants Kctinter, Bkloots, and Texanflowr. We started with appetizers of cheddar & cream cheese w/roasted red peppers on l/c crackers and stuffed mushrooms while we talked and got to know each other. We followed that with a spinach salad and broccoli cole slaw. The entree was shrimp in a chunky tomato cream sauce w/tomatoes, onion, green pepper, and celery served over a choice of Dreamfields linguini or cauliflower-rice. Dessert was Aunt Ruth's pecan cake w/whipped cream. Coffee was served with a chocolate-peanut butter truffle. It was a delightful get together.

Wow, Henry! That sounds like fun! Carolyn and I have been talking about getting all us Texans together for a weekend or something. But the Lone Star State is quite large! I hope we can do it sometime next year.

I had a small apple prior to meeting my friends at Luby's. I finished up the day with a small amount of fried okra and steamed broccoli. But.....let's just say my body didn't like it. Oh, well. At least I got my 5 today!

Today I had cauli salad for lunch and dinner, also fruit salad with lunch and dinner. I'm estimating 6 servings.

The cauli salad is made exactly the way I make potato salad. It's just WAY lower in carbs. This particular fruit salad was chopped: 4 small apples, 2 medium pears, a 16 oz. container of strawberries, and a can of Carb Clever peaches. Yummers. I made "topping" for it for DH with cream cheese, a cup of yogurt, and a little Splenda whipped together.

(Gotta get rid of as much dairy as I can....I'm gonna try going dairy-free in November.)

The same as yesterday...I should be out of spinach today though

Had a great cauli and zuc soup last night and I cut up a page of Nori - it gave terrific flavour. Still into my large lunch salads with the lot - and still into my 2 fruits. Henry - that was a great shot of you and the gals - bet you all had a wonderful day!

Foxy, the party was a lot of fun. It was nice to meet some of the women, who until now were just "handles" on the internet. Breakfast was Maggie's cereal w/dried cranberries. Lunch was a lettuce salad w/chery tomatoes, cucumber, green onion, stuffed olives and a pork burrito w/onion, celery, green pepper, and jalepenos. Dinner was another salad with the same ingredients but a different dressing and shrimp in a chunky tomato cream sauce w/onion, green pepper, and tomato served over Dreamfields linguini.

I had a pear with breakfast. At lunch, I had leftover cauli salad. Same thing with dinner. And fruit salad for dessert. I'm sure that was 5+ servings.
