Today I started off with my usual two coffees, the second I nursed throughout the day. I don't have the words to express how much I love coffee! I realize I haven't mentioned what I drink with these meals and throughout the day. I stick to water mostly and flavored seltzer. I'll have a Dr.Pepper if I'm having a really bad day or am sick and coffee sounds gross. 
Breakfast: I had a bowl of Cheerios. I usually would put a big spoon full of sugar on top but since you guys are watching I decided against it.
Second Breakfast: I had a glass of strawberry kefir. My midwife introduced me to this. It is full of probiotics which are good for your digestive and immune system. 
Last night I soaked 2lbs of dried chickpeas. The salad I had made for the pot luck made me crave them. I cooked them early this morning. I plan to use them in my lunches throughout the week, I also made a couple of batches of roasted spicy chickpea snacks.Lunch: Spinach, chickpeas, and chicken from the the whole chicken I cooked on saturday. I tossed it with a balsamic vinaigrette.
Snacks: I had the remainder of a discarded apple from one of my sons and a handful of the chickpea snack. I also treated myself to a chocolate at the bank. My oldest son loves going to the bank, he gets all giddy and excited because he knows he'll get some treat; a lollipop, chocolate, a cookie. I admit that I too love going to the bank for the same reason!
About a year ago I decided I wanted our family to eat more fish. Since then I have tried to put it on our table at least once a week. I always buy whatever fish is on sale and I always cook it the same way no matter what fish I buy. It always turns out wonderful! It so easy and delicious! (Fish: spray pam on 8X8 glass dish, place fish inside scales down, salt & pepper it and drizzle with olive oil, bake at 400 for 10-18 minutes and voila you have a fish dish!)Dinner: Salmon, veggie pasta with broccoli and a parmesan lemon sauce I threw together. Along with water with strawberries in it. Yum!
