The baby and I came down with a virus so I was not great at keeping up with my blog. However, I stuck to my plan and ordered in chinese food for Friday. Here are my reviews of what we ate:
Sunday: Homemade turkey/soy meatballs and whole wheat spaghetti with spinach side salads ***** Easy to make, good to eat. I froze a bunch of meatballs for future meals.
Monday: Hard Times Cafe vegetarian chili. ***** This is so tasty but I totally got heartburn from eating it for dinner AND lunch the next day. :(
Tuesday: Chili lime chicken burgers (Trader Joe's) and leftover macaroni and cheese from the freezer with a side of broccoli. An old standby so I didn't have to cook that night.
Wednesday: Vegetarian chorizo Jambalaya (cheating and using a Zattarain's mix for this but I will post my Jambalaya recipe in case anyone wants to make it themselves) *** VERY good but only gets 3 stars because I subsequently found out that the chorizo has a LOT of sodium in it. Very disappointing.
Thursday: Chicken stir fry over brown rice. A classic.
Friday: takeout night
