    Save Recipe

    Sorry for the lack of pictures today! I’ve been eating breakfast while it’s still dark and dinner after the sun goes down. I made a beautiful salad at lunch, but was so hungry I forgot to take a picture!

    Pretend you see a really beautiful salad with over 400 grams of veggies, goat cheese, bacon, and chicken. It was really delicious!

    What We Ate

    Breakfast – I had a repeat of yesterday: instant oatmeal and a banana. No idea what anyone else had.

    Lunch – I’ve stretched a pound of bacon this week, using some in the pasta bake on Saturday, some to top soup on Monday, and today FishChick16 made a BLT and I crumbled a piece on my aforementioned salad.

    Dinner – I made a bulk batch of Gluten-Free Meatballs to serve with roast potatoes and veggies.

    How was your day 22?

      Day 22 (hard to believe!)
      B-Egg, toast, and a mandarin
      L-? can’t remember
      D-tacos and birthday cake. It was our youngest grandkid’s 8th birthday. She requested tacos and Dr Pepper for her birthday dinner. It was at our house, but my daughter brought all the food and cooked it here. As we had almost all the family there, we opened our first Christmas gift Universal Yum package from Spain and tasted some yummy (and not so yummy) snacks. Fried egg flavored potato chips were not a favorite. I had everyone look up and share an interesting fact and find Spain on the map before tasting. Can you tell I am a retired teacher? 🙂 Not too many eye rolls, maybe a few from my husband and the teen grandkid.

        Spain is one of my favorite places! Have been twice, but most of our snacking was limited to really tasty things. Those chips don’t sound awesome. What fun you’re doing the Universal Yum thing. 🙂
