what to eat

Here's what we've cooked at home so far. Since it can be difficult to think of things to cook, I thought I'd keep track and post the ideas and recipes at the end of the two weeks in a place where other people who have to be on this diet for a while can find them. Until then, here's a list. FF= Fat Free


Breakfast
FF yogurt with fruit
Toast with jam


Lunch/Dinner
Potato soup: potatoes, carrots, celery, onion, garlic, broth, stir in egg whites at the end
Borscht: beet soup with leeks, dill, lemon, black-eyed peas and lots of other stuff, FF sour cream
Gnocchi with tomato/basil sauce, spinach salad with FF dressing and FF feta cheese
Red lentil soup with homemade croutons and salad with FF dressing
Egg white/egg beater omelet with mushrooms, zucchini, onion, etc


Snacks/Desserts
Sorbet
Fruit
Fruit smoothie/juice
Smart Start cereal with skim milk and fruit
FF Cottage cheese and fruit
Chocolate milk/hot chocolate with Santa Cruz chocolate syrup
Vanilla Carnation instant breakfast shake with skim milk (chocolate has fat...)
