6 Week - Day 6

My Food:

Breakfast: Breakfast salad

Lunch: two plates of salad, one with low fat Italian dressing, one with no dressing, at pizza hut buffet; 2 bites of pizza crust (I *almost* made it out the door with NO pizza.)

Dinner: Roasted Butternut Squash pasta, Chili Lentils, Asian coleslaw, broccoli, kiwi & pineapple chunks, 2 chocolate date balls and black decaf for dessert

Evening treat: berry, cherry, kale, pom juice smoothie

My Thoughts:

Today was good. I made it through taking the kids to pizza hut buffet with NO pizza on my plate. I also skipped the heavy dressings that I normally like from that place. I don't love the salad bar there. Very little worth putting on my plate. But, I filled up on veggies and fruit and left happy that I had a nice time out with my whole family.  (and cringed a little seeing my boys pile their plates so high)

I was really happy with how my dinner turned out. We had company come for the meal and I tried a new recipe with the pasta. It was very good, even though the little girls didn't care for it.  I have yet to find a recipe that allows me to get them to eat squash. 

I haven't made my Asian coleslaw in a long time. It's so good, I need to remember to pull out that recipe more often.

I took a photo of the leftovers that were hanging around waiting for the boys to eat when they got home from karate tonight.

Looking Ahead:

Tomorrow we are home. I have a lot of desk work to do, but I'd like to try that vegan clam chowder and some of those desserts I've been printing off this week. 

So much to cook, so little time.
