Breakfast
Latte made with a cup of skim milk, 1/4 + 1/8 cup of quick oats cooked with a cup of skim, with 1/4 cup of raisins, 2 tablespoons of chopped walnuts and an 8 ounce glass of OJ on the side. I needed a breakfast that would keep me full, because I have to go to practicum today and don't plan on eating lunch until I get out of there around 3. I will be bringing a snack with me just in case though!

Lunch
I was so busy today, I never even ate my snack. By the time I got home I was STARVING, so I just heated up two slices of leftover chicken & tomato pizza from last night. Now, it's time to get focused on studying...no fun for me this weekend, I'm afraid.

The cats kept me company while I studied (as much as a cat does, anyway). I wish I could curl up and go to sleep right now, too. Aren't they just too cute?!

All together, this meal provided:
Grains: 2 1/2 oz (pizza crust)
Fruits: 0
Vegetables: 1/2 cup (tomato sauce and tomatoes on pizza)
Milk: 3/4 cup (cheese on pizza)
Meats & beans: 1 1/2 oz (chicken on pizza)
Oils: 0

Dinner
Vegetarian enchiladas, a great recipe from CookingLight.com! I made the filling with half the soy crumbles it calls for, and just made 6 big portions rather than 12 small ones. I had one enchilada and a cup of steamed broccoli with a teaspoon of Smart Balance Light.
Here's the recipe


For dessert, I had a kiwi! I have decided I'm going to start trying new things from the produce section when I go to the store. I've had kiwi before, but never actually bought one. I read an article the other day, called "The Ten Healthiest Foods You've Never Tried" and one of them was kiwi, so I thought I'd give it another try...I was glad I did! Yum! Here's the article
