Dinners:

12/1: Italian pasta (penne tossed with sauce and sauteed eggplants and red peppers) and a mixed greens salad w Trader Joes Goddess dressing (if you haven't tried this dressing yet, you're missing out!).

For my second dinner tonight (I work 12 hour nights, so I'll be eating again around 11pm) it'll be the mixed greens salad with cranberries, crumbled gorgonzola and a few walnuts tossed in.

12/2: Chicken cutlet parm with sweet potato fries and ice cream sundaes for dessert

12/3: I'll be pretty tired, having worked 2 nights in a row, so we'll be having scrambled eggs with cheese and maybe bacon if I'm in the mood.

12/4: Curried lentils with buttered garlic naan to soak up the sauce (mmmm).

12/5: I'm thinking garlic mashed red potatoes with buttered sweet corn and maybe a teriyaki beef of some kind.

Saturday we'll be eating out--Thai, and Sunday my boyfriend has a christmas party for the Nat'l Guard, so we'll be eating there.

Lunch is usually determined the morning of, depending on mood. I have all the supplies to offer the following choices:

~Fresh honey turkey and organic cheddar on whole wheat
~Organic apple granola with orgaic vanilla cream yogurt
~Spicy tuna salad either on WW or with pita chips
~Snack-for-Lunch (ds *loves* this--it's great for grazers), which is any combination of small portions of the following: Toasted almonds, cheese stick, baggie of grapes, ww crackers, baby bell/gouda cheese ring, carrot sticks with ranch for dipping, sliced apples with pb or yogurt for dipping, rolled up turkey and cheese, etc
~Leftovers, of course!

We're not big morning eaters, thankfully, so a small cup of yogurt or sm. bowl of organic cereal is all we usually do.

I have to know... what are biscuit pizzas?

Oh, super easy junk food. Bake the biscuits according to the package, then cut each in half. Spread with a little pizza sauce, add toppings and cheese, then bake until hot. Or top with a little butter, garlic salt, and mozz to make cheesy bread.
