I hope y'all are still interested in these! I kind of lost the thread after Thanksgiving, but I'm starting to pick things back up. :)

Breakfast: steel-cut oats with a little brown sugar and boozy cherries, banana, coffee w/peppermint mocha creamer.

Lunch: will be crudites with ranch dip, summer sausage slices, cheese, and focaccia crackers.

Dinner: will be quick-seared ribeyes and tater tot nachos loaded with veggies so I can pretend they're a smart choice!

Snacks: not sure yet, but I have a ton of fruit at home -- maybe apple slices with a little goat cheese? (I think I have a cheese problem; I have some at almost every meal.)

    Yoghurt and fruit pre-gym, just on my way now. Got some cheese/prosciutto roll-ups for after.
    Lunch will probably be a sandwich and fruit and something. I have peppered mackerel for a snack, and a couple chocolate biscuits for afternoon tea.
    Dinner still not decided on - probably some pot stickers and veg stir fry.

    Breakfast: 1 hardboiled egg, 2 sausage links
    Lunch (planned): 3 homemade turkey meatballs & roasted sweet potatoes
    Dinner (planned): 1 Parkview mild Italian sausage, seasoned baked potato cubes & small salad
    Afternoon Snack (planned): cheddar cheese cubes

    This leaves me with quite a bit left, approximately 260 calories.. which I'm sure I'll use for an after dinner snack, which is still TBD

    Breakfast : oatmeal with peanut butter

    Lunch : a leftover slice of deep dish pizza, plain Greek yogurt with a little grape jelly mixed in

    Dinner : It might be leftovers of African lentil peanut butter soup. I also have homemade lemon cupcakes in the fridge, and chocolate chip cookies on the counter. And I've also been eyeing the new dairy queen blizzard flavor of Oreo hot cocoa. I've been having the type of day deserving of a big fat dessert dinner, so that may just happen.

    I've been experimenting with making my own seasonal flavors from plain greek yogurt:

    Gingerbread - Add molasses, ginger, maple syrup to yogurt. Sprinkle cinnamon on top and/or granola pieces (better yet, cinnamon granola).

    Cranberry Orange - Add a bit of orange juice (orange juice concentrate would be better), honey, dried cranberries and cinnamon. Add flax and/or chia seeds and allow time for berries and chia seeds to soak of excess liquid. This is good for a brown bag lunch.

    I've been doing similar themes with oatmeal too.

    First I had a large brunch at our favorite brunch place. Had two poached eggs with avocado and tomato, each atop a piece of multigrain toast; hash browns; pico de gallo; and unsweetened iced tea.

    Then I had a cup of instant decaf coffee with a bit of unsweetened soymilk (I actually don't think instant coffee is bad).

    Now I'm having some sprouted multigrain crackers topped with hummus and nutritional yeast, and a bowl of kale topped with a tomato (I got a huge head of kale at the store yesterday for like $1.30...also going to make some pan-fried and oven-roasted kale with it later in the week). Along with a plant-based vitamin D3 supplement (I wear sunscreen year-round so I need it).

    Later on I'm going to have an apple and some raw mixed nuts, and some sea salt dark chocolate.

    Breakfast: Pumpkin baked oatmeal and coffee with Italian Sweet Cream Creamer
    Snack: lowfat raspberry skyr
    Lunch: Small-ish cheese sandwich
    Snack: TBD - probably something sweet
    Dinner: TBD again Possibly pasta with italian sausage

    I have been so busy lately that I haven't had much time for food prep/planning, so i've been winging it. That pumpkin baked oatmeal was a freezer item, as is the bread I made my sandwich on. And the pasta sauce and italian sausauge that might be dinner is also from the freezer...lol. I have a pretty full freezer.
