Day 6









On the menu this morning was a piece of the pumpkin chocolate chip bread I made last night. I am planning on making a sweet potato muffin top today in order to use up my bananas before they spoil. As far as lunch goes I am leaning towards sweet potato fries and some type of protein. In case you couldn't tell I am on a sweet potato kick. I am not quite sure if its because I forgot how much I love them or because they we 79 cents a pound this week at the grocery store. Either way they are delicious and I look forward to finding fun things to make with them. I would love to hear about your favorite recipe involving sweet potatoes!

Lunchtime: While I was making my lunch I also made this recipe for Banana Sweet Potato Muffins with Chocolate Chips from this blog... http://bonniethebaker.blogspot.com/2009/12/banana-sweet-potato-muffins-with.html
I made my puree by just baking two sweet potatoes and mashing them but you can buy it in a can! They are only 93 calories and they are absolutely delicious.
For my actual lunch I made a jalapeno chicken sausage with parmesan rice. I chopped up tomato and cilantro and added it to it because I feel bad eating rice without some sort of fruit or vegetable. I also mashed a little sweet potato but didn't end up eating any.

Breakfast: Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread: 200 calories
Lunch: Sausage with 3/4 cup rice : 357 calories
Snack: Banana Sweet Potato Muffin with Chocolate Chips: 93
Dinner: Salad bar and asian dumplings (I had one and a half dumplings for around 180 calories)
Total so far: 650

    I quite like sweet potato fries. I also have a recipe on FLB for a sweet potato cranberry hash, which is one of my fav ways to prepare sweet potatoes.

    Hey pookie,

    Muffins look scrumptious. So does the gyoza. I think that's what I'll be having for din tonight. Oh btw, made my first tofu scramble for breakfast. Apparently the key to not having watery tofu scramble is using a firm non-silken tofu, cutting the block into 8 squares and then hand squeezing out the water from each piece. Cook with soy and tumeric for eggy color.

    Breakfast: 403 cals

    Tofu, firm: 183 cals

    Coffee 8 oz- 2 cals
    Milk, nonfat- 22 cals

    Honey, amber 1 Tbs.- 68 cals

    Late bfst/early dinner, so no lunch
