For supper we had non-tortilla soup.

New Year

We started the new year singing our little hearts out (and our little voices gone!) I know David had a great time...I have the pictures to prove it! On Wednesday we start South Beach Diet. So I decided to blog about our progress.
January 1 - we had meatloaf, mashed potatoes and black eyed peas!
January 2 - we had lunch out to eat at Tein Jin so did not have supper.
Jan 3 - we had left overs. We had so much crap in the refridge so we cleaned it out. What did not get eaten from New Years eve, we threw away!
Jan 4 - Wednesday we start the day with eggs and Canadian bacon. For lunch we had salad and tuna with a lemon vinaigrette (Yuck!) Snack was lunch meat roll up and celery with laughing cow cheese. Dinner we had baked chicken roasted Brussels sprouts! It was delish! I know I can do this.

January 5- Breakfast- cook eggs with spinach and Canadian bacon.
Lunch - Salad with Chicken and balsamic vinaigrette Yummy!
Dinner - baked Salmon with soy sauce on top, mashed cauliflower

January 6
Breakfast - Eggs with mushrooms and spinach with Canadian Bacon
Lunch - Salad with the rest of the chicken and balsamic vinaigrette
Supper - Went out to eat at a Chinese restaurant and we had no rice nor egg rolls with Buddha's Delight with Tofu and Double Treasure. It really was not bad with no rice and egg rolls. I did have a small melt down tonight. This is really hard thinking up ideas for each meal. David has agreed to help me with this.

January 7.
Breakfast - David came up with breakfast. Eggs with Canadian bacon and sauteed mushrooms, artichoke hearts garlic and spinach. Topped it with Parmesan cheese.
Lunch- Steak green beans and spinach with pine nuts.
For dessert I am going to attempt this coffee custard. We shall see.

November 12

This was to be a slow day. We got up, drank coffee\tea. David walked into the garage and saw his tire on his bike. There was metal showing through the side wall of his front tire. There went the day and $200.00. Good thing today? I went to Freebirds for the first time. Very delish. Supper? Homemade chex mix!
