Toaster Biscuit with Smart Balance Spread

Snack:

Today my snack was sort of like an early lunch.  I was  babysitting and my window of opportunity for eating was around 11:30am. I wasn’t real hungry at that time but knew I needed to take advantage of the time to eat or else I would find myself starving soon thereafter. I worked out once I got home and ate a real lunch after that,  later in the day. You don’t want to  eat this much for a snack unless you are fueling for a hard workout or in a situation as I was. Anywho, here it is:

Banana

cashew butter sandwich on whole wheat bread  with Streamline Organic Raspberry Jam

apple

water

a shot of Bragg’s Raw Organic  Apple Cider Vinegar

Lunch:

1 Piece of  HEB Whole Grain Pita Bread toasted in the oven and topped with HEB Four Pepper Hummus!

A handful of El Milagro Tortilla Chips and salsa

A shot of Bragg’s Raw Organic  Apple Cider Vinegar

Nabisco 100 Calorie Cookie Pack

Dinner:

Pan grilled natural and  organic  boneless skinless chicken breast

Smothered Okra

Brown Rice

water

shot of  Bragg’s Apple Cider Vinegar

Cinnamon Toast(whole wheat toast, a little bit of  Smart Balance Spread, cinnamon, and honey) and Nighty Night tea

Choose whatever veggies you like.  I recommend all or any of the following: zucchini, squash, mushrooms,spinach, colorful bell peppers(yellow, orange and red)

Saute garlic and purple or yellow  onion in a little bit of Olive Oil…A LITTLE bit!

Add veggies and sprinkle with a drizzle of  olive oil,  sea salt,paprika,cumin,parsley,cayenne pepper, red pepper, black and white pepper,onion powder, garlic powder, and chili powder  .

saute ’til desired tenderness

Serve on corn, flour or hard shells  with either fat free re-fried beans or whole beans.  You can use pinto or black.  I like La Sierra Fat Free Black Beans.

Corn tortilla’s are the healthy choice~ they are low in fat, calories and carbs. If you are going to use flour, try wheat flour tortilla’s.

This meal is so easy to make and very tasty.  We eat it quite often!
