Because yesterday was such a gorgeous day outside and I wanted to enjoy it, I postponed my weekly food prep and did it today. I usually make 2 dishes ahead of time along with a salad, but today I made 3 dishes. Then I found out my husband has to travel this week, so I’ve got a lot of eating to do!
Today’s Recipes
Breakfast: Oatmeal with Banana Raspberries Walnuts & Black Currants
To make this, I cooked 1/2 cup rolled oats with 1 cup water for about 7 minutes. I added 1 sliced banana, 1 cup raspberries, 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts and 2 tablespoons black currants. I topped it with 1/2 cup soy milk.
Lunch: Wild Rice with Tofu & Mushrooms
This is one of the dishes I prepared ahead of time to have on hand for the week. You can find the recipe in this post. I also had a Basic Salad.
Dinner: Black-Eyed Pea Soup
This is another dish I made ahead of time to last the week. I absolutely love black-eyed peas! You can get the recipe in this post. I paired it with a Basic Salad topped with pepitas (pumpkin seeds) and avocado.
Check back tomorrow night for a recap of Week Three Day Two!

Thanks so much, Cheri. Since I started this blog, I’ve had a number of people say they would like to change their eating habits for the better, but didn’t know how to do it. I’m hoping this day-by-day reporting on the process is helpful!
