Four Veggie meals this week…how cool is that?

I’m so excited. This week we had four meatless meals..FOUR.  We began with Meatless Monday and then had Meatless Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

Since it’s just my husband and I (both working), we had Greens & Grille roasted potatoes with a California Cobb salad.  Their food is so, so good. I feel a bit spoiled after going there.

On Tuesday I caved and had a chicken salad with rice and black beans and taco.  It was good, but I realized after eating that I probably didn’t need the meat.  I felt way too full.

Wednesday and Thursday we had soup for lunch and salads with rice for dinner.  Now I know that I wasn’t just going to have salads on meatless days, but that’s just what I’ve been craving. I just absolutely love raw vegetables.  In the salad we had avocado, apples, red and green peppers, and corn with romaine lettuce.  It was so good; filling but light.

Friday we had baked potatoes with (you guessed it) salad.  I’m really serious about loving the raw vegetables–it’s my favorite meal.  In last night’s salad we had red and green peppers, apple, avocado, and broccoli with a baked potato (skins rubbed with sea salt). Super yummy.

On top of all of this, we made the switch to almond milk. I have to admit I had to get used to the consistency because it seems richer than the skim milk I had grown accustomed to, but it’s really good. The first time we got just plain almond milk and this time we got vanilla flavored. The thing is that the almond milk actually feels like a treat. Oh, and the best part is that when it comes to milk, we are lactose and cholesterol free, as well as without all of the other “extras” that come with dairy milk.

What a great week, right? Now, let’s see how we do next week.
