Well another successful day of remembering to take pictures of my meals. I started this Wednesday with a 3 mile run on the treadmill. It's not my favorite, but at least I have one and don't have to go to a gym. I always try to watch something light since it's 5:30 in the morning.
My oldest daughter made me breakfast. She had everything ready to go and on the table, what a treat! Protein pancakes, blueberry compote, maple syrup, home made applesauce from the fall and of course coffee. There is no extra sugar in anything she made - just the maple syrup that I added.
Lunch was at home yesterday because of final exams. So I didn't have to eat out of a Pyrex dish. I came home and made carrot soup in the Vitamix and avocado toast topped with Herbes de Provence sea salt and olive oil. We had Perrier to drink. I would say the soup was just ok. I know I can do better and have done so. But it's always fun to try something new.
For dinner I made chicken cacciatore with large roasted tomatoes, mushrooms and red onions. On the side I served polenta and a simple kale salad. Of course I had some wine too.
Another treat for dessert. My middle daughter made a swiss roll cake since she needed a break for studying. Lucky me.
I hope this inspires you to get into your kitchen and start cooking.
Bon Appétit!
And as always with love from the Midwest,
Beth
