I understand wanting to stay with your "normal" foods, but were they working for you? I love the opportunity to research new foods and branch out. If I had to eat my childhood vegatables five times a day I'd go nuts! (broccoli, green beans, plus peas and corn which don't even count. I have eaten raw snap peas, diakon radish (really good!) and made a new eggplant recipie. I tried some strange Incan grain that was in the cookbook. (not sure yet about that one) Today I made an omlet with pesto, spinach and sun-dried tomato Havarti cheese. Delicious, though my dh thought I was nuts! Try to think "outside the box". It makes things so much more interesting!

Yesterday
two breakfasts:
the dreaded cottage cheese, cantalope
then sprouted wheat toast with PB and eggplant leftover (about 11:30)

Lunch: (birthday dinner with Mom) steak, green beans, summer squash and strawberries with cream

Snack: cheese, whole wheat cracker, diakon and snap peas

Dinner: chicken and leftover eggplant (I obviously made too much) roasted potato
