Week Two

On to the next week!  Last week went really well for not only radically changing my eating habits, but getting used to planning and cooking every night, PLUS keeping up with a running regimen.  But I did it.

My schedule with the meals from last week got a little off.  On Thursday, I forgot to thaw out my chicken for the white chili, so I had leftover Zucchini Lasagna.  Then on Friday, when I had thawed chicken, I met my sister after work and we grabbed gluten-free chocolate muffins from Mr. Natural.  It was delicious, but kind of killed my appetite, so I had a dinner of chips and guacamole when I got home.  I finally got around to making white chili yesterday, and skipped the gluten-free alfredo pasta altogether.  The white chili and the lasagna were both excellent, considering I didn't use any recipes for either.  I'll be eating leftover chili for lunch and dinner tonight, since it made a ridiculously huge pot.

The rest of my week looks like this:

Tuesday: Roasted Salmon and Asparagus (I just put a little olive oil, soy sauce and balsamic vinegar on my salmon and cook for 12-13 minutes and it's done)

Wednesday: G-F Penne Alfredo w/ Peas and Mushrooms (Finally)

Thursday: Thanksgiving dinner
My dinner will most likely include turkey, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, G-F green bean casserole, sweet potatoes, G-F corn pudding, and G-F pumpkin pie.  The only part I will miss is the stuffing and gravy.

Friday: Leftovers.  Of course.
