B R E A K F A S T - Whole Wheat Zucchini Pancakes w/ strawberries & bananas

y u m m y.

I have a ton of zucchini from the garden that I'm trying to use, and I figured -if I make muffins out of them, why not pancakes!?

L U N C H - Spinach, broccoli, cherry tomatoes, mushrooms topped w/ lentils.

Lentils are the power food!!! Here are the deets....
for 1/4 C (dry) lentils:
-160 calories
-0g fat
-0mg cholesterol
-5mg sodium
-27 g carbohydrate
(-15g dietary fiber -WOW)
(-3g sugars)
-13g protein another WOW!


DINNER - not really having one - a neighbor offered me a snack bag of cookies really late in the afternoon and I accepted (I SO DIDN'T want to!) -So needless to say it spoiled my appetite and I just got myself some e m p t y calories. :(
