What We're Eating Wednesday, inter-holiday edition

avskk

Hello! I hope you all enjoyed Thanksgiving (if you're American) or just last week (if not). I, personally, loooooove Thanksgiving... but I am also very tired of holiday leftovers at this point. I'm looking forward to a good day of New Food!

Breakfast: croissant with herbed Boursin, ham, coffee (with my favorite -- peppermint mocha creamer)

Lunch: will be leftover sausage-and-potato soup from last night, wilted spinach on the side

Dinner: will be broiled pork chops with (sigh) cider gravy leftover from Thanksgiving, steamed cauliflower, and rice

Snacks: I'm gong to enjoy a good book and a beautiful pomegranate, very slowly and luxuriously, before bed

toxikon

Breakfast: Tea!

Lunch: Cauliflower potato leek soup and a clementine

Dinner: Homemade pulled pork on a bun with homemade coleslaw!

Snacks: Nada.

I'm saving most of my calories for dinner! I slow-roasted my pork shoulder last night after work and tonight I'm excited to enjoy it with all the fixin's.

I had an amazing Thanksgiving, but I wound up with a ton of leftovers. I have frozen some for later, but am still eating some.

Breakfast: Jalapeno-onion cornbread and maple seitan sausages (leftovers from Thanksgiving!); grapefruit

Lunch: Shredded cabbage with peanut chipotle ranch dressing and a sesame flax cracker; salted-caramel pecan turtle bar (more Thanksgiving leftovers!)

Dinner: Broccoli polenta; shredded cabbage with Asian dressing; asparagus soup

Post-dinner: Almond milk eggnog with some bourbon

Snack: Peanut butter crackers

Lunch - Chicken pot pie soup, saltine crackers, an apple and a Babybel

Dinner - Tacos two ways! Chicken sausage and poblano tacquito with salsa roja & crunchy fish tacos with shredded cabbage, thinly sliced jalapeno, lime and chipotle cream

Maybe some raw cauliflower for snacking. And an abundance of tea and maybe some ginger ale, cause this gal has the sniffles.

Breakfast - my usual wrap (whole wheat/low carb, hummus, avocado, chicken, baby spinach)
Lunch - a Lean Cuisine with more baby spinach and light blue cheese dressing
Dinner - shrimp and pasta with vodka sauce.
Snacks - protein shake, Greek yogurt with dried fruit mixed in.

I've got wiggle room, I might have a small wonton soup between the yogurt snack and when I go home. Today's a 12 hour day so the only meal I eat at home is dinner.

And as always, green tea with lemon and Splenda.

Boring today:

Breakfast smoothie (avocado, kale, strawberries, almonds, protein powder)

Lunch: vegetarian chili with black and kidney beans and various other ingredients and some cauliflower on the side.

Dinner: stir fry with wild rice, whatever veg I have on hand (I know I have broccoli and zucchini and swiss chard, so probably those), and some tofu.

Probably pineapple with the stir fry or for dessert, I'll probably add some nuts or have them with dessert too (I bought some shelled and salted pistachios which is dangerous, as the hassle of shelling them is the only way I have self-control).

I actually saw some shelled and salted pistachios for the first time in the bulk bin at my local store and I was like "OHHHH yeah -- no, wait, I'd better not." I'm like you, the shells are an important speed bump for me.

corinasue1143

Breakfast - Taco Bell bacon soft taco, coffee

Lunch - spaghetti and turkey meatballs, spaghetti squash. I tasted spaghetti squash about 20 years ago with spaghetti sauce and swore I would
Never Eat that horrible stuff again, but I softened. It was on sale at WalMart. Got a small one for 20 cents. Tried just a bite plain. Liked it!
So I ate half of it with just salt. Will try a little olive oil when I reheat the other half.

Supper - probably a pork chop, butternut squash, salad.

And of course, a cranberry tea from Sonic
