Surprisingly, my husband ate the last of the spaghetti last night. Meatballs included! So I was able to have something else for lunch and dinner besides leftovers. I had planned on making the whole wheat couscous with nectarines and pistachios for lunch. The nectarines were bad already. That's one thing I hate about buying fruit and vegetables. A few days later and they're spoiled. I need to look up how to store them correctly to get the most life out of them. I hate wasting food. In place of the nectarines, I tried apples. Not too bad. This isn't the tastiest meal, but it's okay.
I took out some frozen chicken breasts to thaw overnight. I'm thinking of making the easy chicken pot pie recipe I posted a few entries back for dinner tomorrow night. I need to cook the asparagus tomorrow for lunch before they go bad.
3 servings grains
3 servings fruit
Unless the pizza sauce and cucumbers count, I didn't consume any veggies!
3 servings dairy
Less than 1 serving nuts
I did good on fruits, but the rest is not good. I really need to plan meals better! Need to try to get a full spectrum of the recommended servings based on the food pyramid. I will probably go shopping on Thursday so I need to start rounding up the next batch of recipes to try.
