Meal Plans

If I could eat all day I would.  Having a metabolism the speed of a baby helps, LOL

My food consumption is not helping my physique! 

Regardless of my food consumption I know on my special day I’ll be sucking in my gut, glory, and pride as I throw on enormously unattractive Spanx and a seamless bustier that will kindly assist my physique while on display in Rennes (that’s my dress, eeeek – will post about her in a bit…) 

I feel like sharing how we’re (yes, I decided to make this post about the both of us not only me me me…) trying to eat healthy as we make our way to the Chuppah.

Goose and I are always making an effort to improve our eating ways.  We cook dinners at home 4 nights a week + one night over the weekend.  Goose takes leftovers for lunch everyday while I grab a Tabouleh salad or sandwich here in Pike Market.   When we dine out we share a salad and an entrée which cuts our portion intake.  Major set back - - Desert!    Every meal has to have a desert PERIOD.

Below is last night’s example of one of our weekday cook at home meals. It’s super easy, cheap, flavorful, and best of all - - extremely satisfying to our palate- - Spinach, Cajun seasoned Tilapia, and Couscous...

The Tilapia is fresh from Whole Foods – 3 pcs is about $8. They have a selection of seasonings and we always request Cajun seasoning.  To cook, I spray a pan with Olive Oil Pam then lay these beauties down 3 min on each side – covering the pan. Then they’re dunsky!

We alternate greens – sometimes its asparagus or broccoli or brussel sprouts.  Last night it was Spinach.  I took a pan dropped in a teaspoon of yogurt margarine minced fresh garlic tossed in two bags of spinach and allowed it to wilt over medium heat.  Then I added different seasonings. I usually add pine nuts however, they’re not Gooses favorite so I left them out =)

The finished meal - --  - mmmmmm - - -

And then there is desert - - We don't really have a staple desert. I like ice cream while Goose usually spreads peanut butter over graham crackers, haahaahaaa With the temps finally rising a bit berries are everywhere - and their prices are great....We had make shift strawberry shortcakes!

There you have it - - What do you think, pretty yummy, right!?!?!?  Whats your meal plan - - What helped you remain trim the days before you got to the Chuppah or alter?
