Mmm, this sausage is the best I’ve ever had

Pork chop and pears

Tomato soup

We had some friends over for dinner and they brought peanut butter cookies. Yum!

Spinach, banana, and protein powder shake

We had some little friends over so I put together a dinner that 3 kids under 5 would eat. I munched on all of the options as I prepared them: cauliflower with ranch, bread with butter and honey, cheese, apples and peanut butter, a bit of burrito filling (beans, rice, veggies)

Frozen bananas dipped in yogurt or chocolate

Black beans and cheese

Burrito with most of the filling fed to the baby

Tomato soup with Gouda

I knew dinner at Spiaggia would be delicious, so I held off on eating until I got there, I did eat a cheese round that isn’t pictured

Amuse bouche (sp?)

These basil rolls were really good

Gnocchi with ricotta and truffle sauce. Oh my. This is the kind of primi piatti to get REALLY excited about.

Fluke with mushrooms and polenta

Orange (okay), nutella (amazing, but went by a name like Giunjia), and salted-caramel (very good) gelati

Tomato soup and Gouda

Peanut butter cocoa “cookies” with apricots

Vegan veggie patties

Today I ate better than I have the past few days and it felt GREAT

When life gets busy, I eat carbs. And don’t take pictures of everything, but here is an idea (minus all the popcorn and cheese crackers I ate)

,

Frittatas. I didn’t exactly eat these, but I did eat the sausage and cheese and some of the veggies. And little bits as I pulled it out and froze it.

My dinner was fresh bread spread with butter and jam. And some bread cheese. It was very indulgent and delicious.
