 I have been avoiding this thread because I have been really sucking at this challenge.  I did menu plan and go grocery shopping earlier this week so I am gonna share some of the dinners I will be making during the challenge.

This is tonight.  Stovetop barley with sweet veg http://katyabaxter.com/stove-top-barley-with-sweet-vegetables/

corn chowder http://www.marcigilbert.com/2011/02/22/one-day-three-recipes/

Oi!  Must get back to this.  We have been camping this past week and our wee babe is teething, so life has been a mix of traveling, sleeping on the ground and losing more sleep to a crying baby.  I am struggling with exhaustion today.  My food intake will be mediocre today...I am forcing myself to journal my meals so I don't go face down in a cup of coffee with cream and sugar.  I crave sweets when I am this tired.  

Breakfast:  2 waffles, 2 T maple syrup, berries, small smear of butter and tea with almond milk

Lunch:  brown rice, chicken, veggies, apple

Snack

Dinner

Lunch - church potluck - pesto pasta salad with red and yellow peppers and tomatoes and cheese cubes, spinach salad with eggplant and gluten pieces and craisins, egg salad on whole wheat dinner roll, small slice of chocolate cake with scoop of ice cream, watermelon and grapes

Supper: baked potato wedges, Boca chicken burger on slice of bread with tomato, pineapple popsicle

Lunch: "snacks" at a baby shower because my tummy still wasn't feeling good - 2 vegetarian meatballs with BBQ sauce, 4 ritz crackers, 4 cubes of cheese, handful of grapes, blueberries, and raspberries, chocolate cake square, 2 cups of punch

Supper: bowl of oatmeal with grapes at 4 p.m. when I got home from the shower; bowl of pesto pasta salad with peppers, tomatoes and cheese chunks at 7:30 p.m. followed by tortilla chips with sour cream and salsa

                   Breakfast:  blueberry scone and chai from Starbucks

                   Sort of lunch- stopped at a gas station and got 1 small bag of potato chips and an orange juice. Only took a few sips of that. Yuck!

                   Dinner-  grilled seitan sandwich with ranch dressing.

Lots of water
