Small Slice

Well, enough feeling sorry for myself, I say, and back to the cooking and eating healthy.  Along with the traditional theme park fare, where I ate a boatload of fries and assorted things on buns, I also enjoyed some really great, healthy meals.  I'm going to try to recreate some of the good stuff in this week's menu.  I'm also going to get back on a regular meal schedule for breakfast and lunch, and make an effort to savor every bite.  I'm also going to start sharing my children's ratings of these dishes, and I'll reveal what I serve them in lieu of eating the healthy meal I slaved over (damn picky little monsters who don't appreciate my culinary genius) so you can judge how your own family might respond. I can't believe how excited I am to get back to cooking after almost two weeks of eating out.  Behold:

Monday: Chicken noodle soup, Brown Derby Cobb Salad and hot french rolls.

Tuesday: Chicken wraps with avocado, tomato, lime, cilantro and jicama salad and sliced fruit.

Wednesday: Quiche Lorraine, fruit salad and baked beans

Thursday: Grilled salmon with yellow rice and steamed carrots and green beans.

Friday: Spaghetti noodles topped with parmesean, garlic and browned butter, served with steamed broccoli and bruchetta on baguettes.

Saturday: Sweet and sour sausages  - kielbasa, pineapple chunks, diced tomatoes, bell pepper, carrots, celery, onions, served over steamed brown rice with sliced apples.

Sunday: Falafel with yogurt/cucumber/garlic dip, lots of sliced veggies for dipping, watermelon.
