Hello Mr. Dentist I have a problem.. and the day went on from there.. It was “one of those days” you know the kind; the kind that i could have polished off a bag of Frito’s or tostitos my latest in my lack of control “options” that were rather tastier then usual these past few weeks, but the good news is, I kept them in the pantrywhere they belong unless they are out for my daughter. So here here to keeping things “under control” even when I felt out of control!

Breakfast

Smoked Trout And Corn Souffle With Fresh Grapefruit Wedges

Lunch

Soy Glazed Seared Tofu Salad with Alfalfa Sprouts, Sauteed Mushrooms, Spring Mix & Oriental Dressing

Dinner

Roasted Leg of Lamb with Red Wine & Shallot Reduction with Rosemary Sandleback Purple Potatoes and Grilled Italian Eggplant

Snack

Dessert

Lemon French Macarons

Notes from Shelley: My favorite food of the day had to be hands down the lemon french macarons, come on now who could turn them away? However I do LOVE the Oriental dressing from lunch, must get that from my friends at THE fresh diet and share with you!
What is your food of choice when under stress? salty? sweet? crunchy?

Yesterday was my first day back with THE fresh diet after a little “out of control” hiatus.  You know things are probably going to feel out of control when you watched your college roomie and bestie from your early college days lose her fight with the big “c” (I hate the word!) and at the same time lose your special needs daughters helper due to problems in an unexpected pregnancy. And starting a new business. Sooo things have been a little more upsetting then normal to me and you know what that means…. at least to me it’s a loss of control….

Day 2 looking good!

Breakfast

Toasted Granola with Pineapple & Honey Almond Ricotta Cheese

Lunch

Hearty Chicken Posole With Crispy Tortilla Strips

Dinner

Cornmeal Dusted Pork Loin With Balsamic Poached Raisins with Farro Grain Pilaf and Sauteed Mushroom Medley

Snack

Roasted Pear And Ricotta Tartan With Fresh Baby Arugula And Honey Drizzle

Dessert

Pistachio Crusted Chocolate Dipped Figs

Notes from Shelley:  Everything was quite tasty today, but by far my favorite meal of the day was breakfast today, love the creamy, sweet and crunchy mix, it was a great way to start the day!
