Menu Monday


Sunday

Lunch: Cheesecake Factory, where I broke the rules and had the grilled cheese sandwich with fries. I'm hoping our afternoon of tennis, jogging on the treadmill and yoga crunches help to burn those extra calories.
Dinner: Yogurt and an apple. We had homemade rhubarb crisp for dessert - yummy.

Monday
Breakfast: 1/2 bagel + OJ + banana
Lunch: Egg salad sandwich, yogurt, fruit, cookies, something salty.
Dinner: I'm having dinner with a friend (and her family) who's receiving her MPH tomorrow afternoon. G will dine on a turkey burger, leftover whole wheat pasta and leftover cheesecake.

Tuesday
Breakfast: 1/2 bagel + OJ + banana
Lunch: Peanut butter and honey sandwich, yogurt, fruit, cookies, something salty.
Dinner: Cheese tortellini, steamed broccoli, apple.

Wednesday
Breakfast: Fiber One raisin bran (sooooo good)
Lunch: Peanut butter and honey sandwich, yogurt, fruit, cookies, something salty.
Dinner: We have a band concert and the group we are playing for provides us with free beer and brats for dinner. I'll probably have a sandwich and some yogurt before we go to the concert. G will feast on free food.

Thursday
Breakfast: 1/2 bagel + OJ + banana
Lunch: Egg salad sandwich, yogurt, fruit, cookies, something salty.
Dinner: General Tso's Chicken, steamed broccoli, whole wheat rice.

Friday
Breakfast: 1/2 bagel + OJ + banana
Lunch: Egg salad sandwich, yogurt, fruit, cookies, something salty.
Dinner: Pizza, carrots, apple.

Saturday
Breakfast: Fiber One raisin bran
Our plans for lunch and dinner are open - we might have company.

* G has requested egg salad sandwiches almost every other week for the past month and a half. I've been messing around with recipes and we found one that he loves:

4 eggs
1.5 - 2 tablespoons olive oil-based mayonnaise (I start with 1 and add dollops until it is just
slightly moist)
1/2 bunch of chives, diced
1 1/2 stalks of celery, cut lengthwise into three strips and then diced.
salt and pepper to taste

Super simple. G thinks it's divine. He wasn't thrilled with the idea of chives at first, but quickly discovered that he really likes the way they taste.

We only had one egg left, so last night I made enough for one sandwich - everyone should start the week with a good lunch, right? It'll give him something to look forward to this morning. I'll pick up some eggs later in the week and make another batch for the rest of the week.
