Level 1 - Day 51

Losing A Parent Is Hard On The Heart

Recently, my dearest friend Jane, lost her father to Pancreatic Cancer.  This card is for Jane and for those of you who have lost a parent.

Breakfast - One serving of fruit; then exercised.  Afterwards, Quaker Puffed Wheat cereal and non-fat milk.  I have to say that I preferred the Quaker brand over the Kashi brand.

AM Snack - Hot Apple with Cinnamon (from SS web site).  I used a small, organic apple, which counts as two servings.

Lunch - Leftover salad from yesterday.

PM Snack - Slice of cheese.

Dinner - Lamb and Feta Burgers (SS web site) and Roasted Eggplant Relish For 4 (SS web site).  Both of these recipes were fast and easy to prepare.  However, I liked one much better than the other.

The addition of the feta cheese to the lamb was fabulous.  Especially since I'm not a big lamb fan.  I think the feta cheese gave the lamb a big punch in the arm, and I found myself enjoying every bitefull.  My husband was equally impressed, and even said that he might go so far as to nominate the burgers as one of his top 5 favorites for the month.

On the other hand, the eggplant relish was a disappointment.  Suzanne claimed, on the recipe, that even eggplant haters will be tricked because the combination of cumin and fresh mint makes this recipe delicious.

While I wouldn't go so far as to say it was bad, I don't think I'd make it again.  For me, the mint didn't work.  I like eggplant and I felt the mint overpowered the dish.  In fact, my husband didn't want me to include it in his lunch tomorrow.  So, I guess the 2 servings of leftovers are all mine.  Maybe it will get better with age.
