Eating This Week 4

Yes, there has been a pause on the Eating This Week posts.  First, I spent 10 days in Europe, and if I were to have preempted that trip with a food plan, it would have read something like this:  beer, waffles, more beer, chocolate, pancakes, german sausage washed down with beer, cappuccino, croissants, french fries, espresso, a few more pastries, and mashed potatoes.  Not the healthiest ten days, none of my clothes fit, but it was well worth the deliciousness that crossed my lips.   Then, we got back from Europe, and, well, it just wasn't happening last week.  


Now that that ridiculousness is over, onto real life:


Monday - Lunch: leftover quesadilla from our Super Bowl snackfest.  Dinner: Linguine with Sun-Dried Tomatoes from Frolic Fancy Free.


Tuesday - Lunch: coworker's birthday lunch at local vegetarian indian buffet.  Dinner: Pork Chops and green beans.


Wednesday - Lunch: leftover linguine and salad.  Dinner: grilled chicken cutlets, broccoli, fake out mac 'n' cheese (recipe below).


Thursday - Lunch: veggie burger stacked with fresh veggies, carrot sticks*.  Dinner: whatever I can grab on my way to quilting class.


Friday - Lunch: leftover mac 'n' cheese, salad.  Dinner: leftovers aka whatever we have left in the fridge.


Saturday and Sunday - honestly, I just can't seem to plan this far in advance.  




My Famous Fake Out Mac 'n' Cheese
-a few handfuls of elbow macaronis
-two Laughing Cow light swiss wedges
-a splash of milk
-seasoned bread crumbs


Cook the macaroni.  While still hot, mix in cheese and milk.  Divide into as many bowls as people you are serving, sprinkle with breadcrumbs.  


Sounds weird and gross, but it's quick and delicious.
