So I have been MIA for the past few days, and my routine has been way off!  I am back to cooking, preparing and blogging! I will post the recipes from the weekend soon, but for now I am going to start with today.

Breakfast:

• 1/4 c. oats
• 1/4 c. oat bran
• 1/8 c. wheat bran
• 1/4 c. TJ’s fiber twigs
• 1 T. ground flax
• 2 small peaches cut into pieces
• 3/4 c. water

Heat for 1-2 minutes and enjoy!  I have tons of fresh peaches and I am enjoying them with everything, but I do prefer the banana in the oats, over the peach.

Lunch was great!  I am always trying to think of healthy and different options to easily pack and take to school.  Today I made a salad with Napa cabbage, water chesnuts and tuna.

Sesame Tuna Cabbage Salad

• 1 can white albacore tuna
• 1 T. light miracle whip
• 1 t. mustard
• 2 T. sesame dressing (lowfat from TJs)
• 1 t. soy sauce
• 1/2 can water chesnuts, sliced
• 2 c. Napa cabbage, chopped or shaved
• salt and pepper

Mix the first 6 ingredients together.  I stored my overnight  in the fridge because I packed my lunch the night before.  At school, I added the tuna to the cabbage so it would not be soggy!

I enjoyed my lunch with Alexander (also from Alexander Who Used To Be Rich Last Sunday) a great book for all kids!  🙂

My snack while the kids were at art class:

My brother is in town from Chicago and so we enjoyed dinner on the deck tonight.  He had a burger on the grill and I was planning a special zucchini treat with the zuc. my aunt sent home with me yesterday.  The zucchini treat did not turn out as I had hoped.  I was thinking it would be like a pancake, but it did not work out that way.  I should have drained the zuc. because it was sooo watery.  It tasted good though.  Here is what I mixed: ( I would drain the zucchini if you are going to try this.)

• 2 c. chopped zucchini
• 1/2 c. bread crumbs
• 1/4 c. parm. cheese
• 3 egg whites
• salt and pepper.

I mixed the above ingredients together and cooked on the stove for a while!  I was hoping to get rid of all the liquid but it did not happen! It looks pretty gross!

I also had a salad with light feta, light Italian dressing, tomatoes, and carrots.

I had a ton of cookies to make for a baby shower!  I snacked on a little dough for dessert.  I was hoping to workout this evening but it did not happen.  Luckily, I got 25 min. in this morning!
