No really, BistroMD, what's up with their being spinach and mushroom in everything?!
Here is the thing. If you sign up for BistroMD, whose program I am LOVING overall, you get to list out foods you like and don't like and request specific meals. But in my case, whereas I am just trying this courtesy of their profound generosity, I opted to not be picky.
Hence, I am eating things I don't normally eat. All for you, my readers. Which I guess ties to #21 in the "33 in 2012" list anyway so I'll try to remind myself I am actually killing two birds with one stone, so to speak.
You know, spinach, at least, is a diuretic (read: it makes you pee) so that's handy. Cause I don't pee enough. (That was sarcasm - I pee more often than a kindergartener.)
So consequently, day three's meals presented a challenge for me. Because breakfast was a chicken and mushroom crepe. The bechamel sauce on that made it totally edible for me, thankfully, Dare I say it was not bad at all. No sausage with this breakfast (I do really love that turkey sausage) but the cinammon apple compte was DELICIOUS. I almost licked the bowl. Coulda done without the craisins but I'll live.
Lunch was cheese ravioli and green beans. I have no complaints. These are all foods I eat and enjoy and the portion was good for me. OMG, how did I JUST start eating green beans last year? They're delicious. And dinner was also all foods I like -- grilled chicken with goat cheese and veggie orzo. I love goat cheese. I love orzo. I loved this dinner.
You'll NEVER guess what was in my day four omelet: SPINACH. (I know, right?! I was shocked, too.) I lost it. I picked it out. But I basically inhaled the rest of it because there were also peppers, fets, onions and black olives. I'm sure this was intended to be greek style. Whatever it was -- it was intended to be resting in my belly next to the yummy potato hash it came with.
Later, my favorite lunch to date, a steak wrap with cheddar, onions and peppers joined it. Side of creamed spinach? Over it. I ate carrot sticks. LOL.
Dinner was pulled pork "Carolina style." I don't know what that means but I've never met a pork product I didn't like (I'm a bad, bad Jew. I know.) and this was no exception. I should take my mother's advice (she's totally reading this and smiling) and use barbecue sauce more often. It's better than ketchup and just as tasty.

P.S. I am totally writing this entry from Starbucks, miling the free WiFi as I do almost daily now. The addiction continues...
