Day 23: Saturday

I think I have caught up. I am really hoping I have been able to put my thoughts on paper for many reasons. First, I want to be able to look back, find out where we went right, if we struggled, where, and be able to catalog meals worth repeating.

Breakfast

This morning we had the same breakfast we always do, cereal and toast. It is pretty funny. We can put our breakfasts into three categories:

• Cereal and toast
• hot
• cold
• Pancakes/waffles
• Eggs, potatoes, and toast
• hash browns
• country style with onions and bell pepper

Healthy changes we have made to breakfast include no more cows milk, which is huge for Phil. If he is making this change because he is (1) trying and (2) too lazy to go to the store to buy milk, I will know when he does bring milk home. If he chooses to make long term changes, going to the grocery store will be the real test for him.

I am going to try vegan waffles tomorrow morning. We love the waffles, so the pancakes should be good as well. We still used butter, though. I am not a fan of margarine, so butter it is. Unless we find something really tasty to swap out butter, we will probably never stop using it.

Phil still eats eggs. Not me. I can eat scrambled tofu if necessary. And potatoes of any kind with fruit is a good breakfast for me. I just keep adding fruit to the breakfast table. Maybe some day he will dig in.

Lunch

Leftovers.:-) Who would have ever thought I would eat leftovers. They were delicious. Lentils, onions, scrambled eggs, potatoes, Soyriso, mushroom Stroganoff. Oh, and sourdough toast with butter. So close... 

Dinner


Yah, we did it this time. Phil was excited to grill steaks for dinner. I think it was a real treat for him, and I must admit I enjoyed mine, too. He grilled 2 New Yorks, but we managed do eat only one. I
