I’ve compiled 3 more days of what I plan eat.  I’ll shop for these ingredients tonight so I have them on hand in the coming days, but what I acutally eat might be different.  I plan on making plenty of Black Bean Soup and a couple of the other recipes, so if I get home late or don’t feel like preparing a lunch to take to work, I’ll eat left-overs.  Here’s my menu (and let me know what you think via the Comments):

 

 

Breakfast: Mediclear Smoothie

Mid-morning Snack: 1 apple

Lunch: Beet Salad (see Handout) AND Quinoa Pilaf (see HO) AND Oven Roasted Chicken (left over from last night’s dinner)
