Let me start by saying, I hate daylight savings when you loose an hour, especially when you only realize it is happening a couple of hours before bed. Woke up this morning, had breakfast and now finishing my breakfast latte while writing this blog and it is midday already – I have not done a whole lot yet. Anyway, into the recap from the week and this week’s plan…..
This week was a much better week. I actually cooked a couple of meals in preparation for the week, and there was less stress at work which made it easier to come home and get things done. I got some brownie points as I was proactive and organized 2 days of walking at lunch with a friend starting this week.
We have switched to gluten-free pasta now for about 6 weeks and I will say everyone in the house (my husband, 5-year-old and myself), have found two great brands that we all love. In fact, we like Quinoa Gluten-free Pasta – Spaghetti Style and the Archer farms Gluten-free Fusilli Pastas better than the old stuff we were using. The price ($2.50-$4.00 range at our local Super Target), taste and overall cooked result are our main reasons for liking these two products. My son, who is a little fussy (not too bad, he’s jus not a vegetable person), asks for seconds and devours the spaghetti by the bowlful.
Here is our meal plan for the week:
DAY | BREAKFAST | DINNER | EXERCISE |
---|---|---|---|
Saturday | ^Strawberry-Banana Whole Wheat Crepes | Cabbage Soup (Slow-Cooked which differs from the recipe)* | |
Sunday | ^Strawberry-Banana Whole Wheat Crepes | Vegetable Frittata | 3-4 Mile Walk |

Thursday | Berry + Banana + Spirulina Smoothie | Hungarian Casserole + Quinoa* | 3-4 Mile Walk |
