Day 2 of the Fresh Diet

Breakfast: Whole Wheat Pancakes with fresh Blueberries & Mango Yogurt.  Delish.  2 pieces of pancake that when put together equal the size of one regular pancake.  Nice, soft, fluffy, and tasty.  A handful of fresh blueberries.  Again, I didn't have time to eat the yogurt until lunch so needless to say I was quite hungry within an hour of this meal.  When I finally did eat the yogurt it was good.  Not as fruity as I would have expected (or liked) but good.  I would get this meal again.

Lunch: Oh wow!  This was awesome.  I had an Asian Flank Steak Sandwich on Whole Wheat Roll with Szechuan Style Slaw and Peanut Sauce.  There was so much meat!  I mean a ton so you really got the feeling of indulging.  I heated the sandwich up and then added a bit of the slaw to it and drizzled the sauce on the meat.  Super flavorful.  The slaw I also ate as a side dish and I while I ate the whole thing since I'm sure it's good for you, I wasn't in love with it flavor-wise.  Not bad, not good, just ok.  Also, when I see "szechuan style" I think "spicy" which I love but this wasn't spicy to me at all.  The sandwich though was a winner.  I would happily eat this on a regular basis.

Hors D'Oeuvre: I ate this on the fly before going out to meet up with a girlfriend because I wanted to get full before I left the house.  :)  I had the Mini Veggie Egg Rolls with Peanut Sauce.  Very tasty.  I am sure they would have tasted better fresh or if I had re-heated them in the oven rather than the microwave but they were still good.  They had a nice chewy consistency that really made you feel like you were eating something satisfying and the sauce was very flavorful.

Dinner: I ordered the Turkey Chili Con Carne with Roasted Butternut Squash and Whole Wheat Fettuccine Pasta.  It looked great but as I alluded to above, I was going out with a girlfriend to a restaurant so I didn't eat this.  I am saving it for the weekend (I elected to receive meals only M-F) along w/ the dessert of Key Lime Cheesecake...although my husband might try to steal that!
