Day 24. I have bounced back after the McIncident. Today, some co-workers and I went to a local chain restaurant (Taco Mac) for another co-worker's birthday. I pre-scouted the menu online so I could make informed decisions. I ended up getting bean tacos, no cheese, and a house salad, no cheese, with olive oil vinaigrette.
After work, I hit up the store because we were out of nearly everything and I hadn't planned a menu yet (oops). Here's the plan for the next five days:
Thursday - Gnocchi with pecans and collard greens
Friday - I Eat Food's Mexican lasagna (I've got Friday off, so I can make this ahead of time and then run to the store to pick up coconut milk (see below))
Saturday - Some type of lentil-cauliflower curry (s*!t - I just realized I forgot coconut milk! Drats!)
Sunday - Vegan meatloaf and cauliflower mashed "potatoes"
Monday - FatFreeVegan Kitchen's Favorite Lasagna (I can make this over the weekend and pop it in the fridge).
I've also got the ingredients for black bean brownies, which I think look wonderful and substantially lower in calories than my more recent dessert endeavors. I've found it beneficial to have sweets on hand to keep Chris happy with this lifestyle change. It kind of softens the blow.
