Food Options

I hope you enjoyed our breakfast of Steel Cut Oats.  I know I sure did! :-)

Now to look at today's snacks, lunch, and dinner.

When we met with Chef Michael yesterday morning, the first thing we did was create a list of ingredients for the week.  These are foods that I can use to create meals and snacks with.  And when we went to the grocery store, we made sure that we have each of these things on hand.

The ingredients/foods that I have on hand this week are listed here...

So it's time to think about meals & snacks for the day.

Here are some of my snack options...

Right now, I currently have a large bag of unsalted mixed nuts.  Eating a handful of them makes an excellent snack with plenty of good fats.

I also have Greek Yogurt that I can eat with or without fresh berries.

I could eat a banana.

The leftover carrots from making the Couscous last night.

I could create a fruit salad with the bananas, strawberries, and blueberries that I have on hand.

For Lunch, I'm going to have the Couscous left over from last night.  Couscous only stays good in the fridge for about 24-36 hours.  So if you don't want it to go to waste, it's best to eat it for a couple of days in a row.

Dinner has not been decided yet.  I'm contemplating cooking a baked potato and using fresh avocado in place of sour cream or cheese.  But we'll see :-)
