    @1948CWB and @cmsienk
    My real birthday is on February 14, when it will be impossible to get a restaurant reservation so we go out for my birthday the weekend before. i will be throwing a birthday party next weekend and am a little nervous about the cooking for that.

    Trying to eat clean(er) this week after a very unhealthy weekend. This is what I ate today, not perfect but definitely on the right track, especially because I wasn't home for most of the day.

    2os2ek4qibi1.jpg

    Breakfast: Bob's Red Mill buckwheat hot cereal with black pepper, paprika, everything bagel seasoning, and nutritional yeast, topped with two sunny side up eggs. Chobani coconut Greek yogurt. Dragonfruit and strawberries. Half of unsweetened iced tea from Dunkin Donuts.

    Lunch: Cranberry walnut salad bowl from the supermarket and Steaz unsweetened lemon iced tea. The salad turned out to have a lot of added sugar so I only put in some of the dressing it came with.

    Dinner: Chipotle burrito bowl -- brown rice, pinto beans, chicken, mild salsa, sour cream, cheese, lettuce, usually I get peppers/onions but the lady was rushing me and I forgot to ask for it -- and other half of the Dunkin Donuts iced tea (I put in the refrigerator in between obviously).

    Evening Snack: Smoothie -- unsweetened almond milk, plain Greek yogurt, Garden of Life vanilla protein powder, 1/2 frozen banana, frozen mixed berries, spinach, ground flaxseeds, cocoa powder, greens powder.

    Pasta with a Cajun spiced Butternut Squash sauce with Spinach. Iโ€™ve had portions of the sauce in the freezer for a while and kept passing on them because I thought I remembered it as not being very tasty. Must have been a previous batch I had in mind because this turned out to be delicious! ๐Ÿ˜‚ Wish I had more than one left in the freezer!

    Trying to eat healthier day 3:

    0uy9o3armcbb.jpg

    Breakfast: Plain Greek yogurt with banana nut granola and strawberries, decaf coffee with almond milk and vanilla collagen, Soozy's paleo chocolate muffin
    Lunch (in two parts because I was out and got hungry, then was still hungry after I got home): Chicken BLT salad bowl from the supermarket, Steaz unsweetened lemon iced tea, two tomato basil Carb Balance wraps with bean salad (white beans, light mayo, spring mix, tomatoes, seasonings including dill and tarragon).
    Dinner: Sauteed tofu and broccoli rabe with roasted garlic and lemon juice, baked sweet potato with butter. I've been craving sweet potatoes for a while so I'm glad I finally made them.
    Evening Snack: Vegan Rob's cauliflower and brussels sprout puffs, mini baklava and fig cookie from a Turkish bakery we went to this weekend (if you ever find a Turkish bakery go to it, BTW, they have so much delicious stuff there), Raffaello from Valentine's candy, decaf tea with almond milk.

    Went out for dinner last night for the first time in three weeks (trying to recover from all the restaurant meals during our move). Wedge salad and seared Ahi tuna.

    Still trying out local delivery places because we are throwing a birthday party on the weekend. The spring rolls were not a bad party option. The ribs were to messy given the bones that I don't want to find in my sofa for months on end. Popcorn shrimp were too doughy.

    I've been obsessing with cooking for my birthday party on the weekend. Dinner last night was some of my ugly homemade potstickers with a small serving of one of the party salads. The Melissa Clark NYT recipe for roast root veg, radicchio and lentil salad. I replaced bacon with Chinese pickled seaweed to make it vegan. It is not pretty (especially if you make it a few days in advance) unless sprinkled with a lot of parsley and pomegranate seeds.
