Vegetables....It's what's for dinner!

Amy was interested in knowing what we are eating. I am pretty easy because I am a creature of habit and I will eat the same things until I get utterly sick of them and then I will find something new and repeat the same process!

For breakfast right now I have been eating a piece of whole wheat toast (Milton's, 5g of fiber per slice) topped with yogurt butter (thanks Amy!), peanut butter (crunchy, natch!), and jelly. Then I have some fruit. Usually kiwi but if I have some melon or pineapple cut up I may go crazy and have that instead. Yeah, I too am surprised when that does not make the news. I also have some yogurt and right now that yogurt is Horizons FF vanilla.

Lunch has been consisting of an egg salad sandwich on the afore mentioned bread and maybe a lettuce free salad of peas, carrots, and peppers. If not that, I might have a sweet potato with the yogurt butter and some sugar. At some point at work I generally eat and apple, as well.

For dinner I like to do a little stir fry. I use soba noodles (3g of fiber) and again with the pepper, peas, and carrots. Yeah, I know. I need to mix up the veggie situation a bit. But, hey, those are the ones I love!

I know, not too exciting. But when you are cooking for one it is best to make small portions so things do not sit around and go bad. Also, this really is the way I like to eat and since I don't have anybody else telling me they are getting bored I don't really don't have to worry about variety if I do not want.

And, heck, it keeps me happy!

I should have mentioned a key requirement of dinner preparation - it has to be quick! I have been trying to eat prior to 8 or 8:30. I know "they" say that you should not eat 3 hours before bed but that is just not an option for me. So I am trying at least to eat as early as possible!
