Today's Cleaning Out The Fridge Day!
One of my pet peeves is wasting food and money. Especially now, with the economy issues facing all families. So, today it's all about leftovers.
I'm finding that some of Suzanne's recipes make more than indicated, which is good and a little bad. It's good because we're stretching our money, but by day 3 or 4, we're starting to get tired of eating the same thing. We lead busy lives, as do most of you, so you have to make a choice. Do you want to make the time to prepare an extra dish, or is convenience more important? I will usually choose convenience. So the choice is yours.
Breakfast - Today's an exercise day, so I started with 2 clementines and one ounce of Maqui Juice. Then, after exercising I toasted a piece of whole grain bread and spread some natural peanut butter on it. What a treat, because I just love bread. Reminder: this meal counts as all 3 carb servings for the day.
AM Snack - I got a late start today, due to my greeting card business demands, so I skipped this snack since lunch is only an hour away.
Lunch - 2 cups of leftover Tuscan White Bean Soup. That's a lot of soup to eat, but it's been wonderful.
PM Snack - Prosciutto and Asparagus Roll-Ups (found on Suzanne's web site). For those of you watching your salt, I wouldn't recommend this snack. But for me, it's a special treat because I love salt. However, I do watch my intake. A serving size is 2 thin slices of prosciutto, then spread a little soft goat cheese on each, top with 2 steamed asparagus spears, and roll. OMG! I loved it.
Dinner - This is a bonus dinner because we had one extra serving, each, of the leftover ginger chicken and mozzarella turkey burgers. My husband chose the chicken, and I made a side salad from all the leftover veggies.
Beverages - seven 8-oz. glasses of water and a cup of Sleepy Time Tea.
