Jan 7 - Jan 12

Hello, I'm back! It's been about a month since I last posted on here. I've decided to post on a weekly basis for the quarter.

My focus last quarter was on eating well consistently. The added focus this quarter will be on preparing meals quickly.

Foods for this week:

Yoplait Smoothie, Strawberry Banana, 8 fl. oz.


Red bean rice with bulgogi (Korean BBQ beef) and spinach


Subway(R) sweet onion chicken teriyaki 6" on honey oat


Chow mein with spinach


Linguine with spinach, Prego(R) meat-flavored sauce, and Albertson's(R) Homestyle meatballs


Chow mein w. bee bim bap (Korean dish)


If I were on Iron Chef, the secret ingredient would have been spinach. I bought a huge bag of it, and have been adding it to all my home-cooked meals since. =)

L: Freshly cooked rice w. cabbage and fish ball dish

D: Chicken soup with rice


It went essentially, like this:

*Chicken, cooked, shredded, as much as you want
*Water (to cook chicken in first, and later, to act as broth for soup)
*Salt and pepper
*Cooked rice
*Shiitake mushrooms^
*Frozen veggies (celery, water chestnut, carrot, onion, snap pea) & bok choy, sliced finely
*Cornstarch and water mix

Omitted: broken spaghetti noodles, garlic, and sesame oil

Soak and slice mushrooms.
Slice bok choy.
Cook chicken in pot of water, undercook a bit. Remove from hot water, let cool. Shred chicken into strips or bite-size pieces.
Warm water. Add chicken, finish cooking. Add frozen veggies or bok choy, mushrooms, and garlic.
Salt and pepper.
Cornstarch and water mix.
Sesame oil, if desired.
Remove from heat. Add rice. Serve hot.



^What I've been referring to as "Chinese mushrooms"
