Dinner Menu

Hi Dad! I hope today went well, and I'm looking forward to your post about how you did with the lunch menu!  Today's dinner is going to be pretty simple again.  It's going to take a little bit more effort, but I think you will be able to handle it!  :-)

Dinner:

1.  Veggie burger   (you will find these in the kitchen freezer, in a red box. The patties come stuck together two in a plastic package, so make sure you pull apart ONE patty and only microwave ONE for dinner. The other patty can go in a ziplock, and back in the box.  Microwave for a little over a minute or until thawed and cooked.)

2. Dash of reduced sugar ketchup and mustard. NO BUN! You're going to cut up the veggie burger and put it on top of ...

3. A salad! Which you can make very easily.

Here are the directions:

     1. Get one head of Romaine lettuce and rip it apart into smaller pieces. Make sure you have a pretty big bowl to do this in.
     2. Cut half a tomato up into ten smaller pieces and sprinkle it on top.
     3. Slice half a cucumber on top.
     4. Slice half a zucchini.
     5. Sprinkle some mushrooms.
     6. Cut up a half a crown of broccoli into little bite sized chunks and mix them in.
     7. Sprinkle 7 almonds and a few walnuts if available.
    
     8. To make the "thousand island" dressing:  Mix 2 tablespoons fat free sour cream and 3 squeezes of reduced sugar ketchup in a small cup and stir together.  Or you can use 2 tablespoons of the Walden Farms dressing instead.

4. Finally, put a handful of green beans in a small bowl and snack on them after you eat the Veggie burger and the salad.  If you're still hungry, have another small bowl of them with 4 almonds.

Dessert:
-1/2 cup greek yogurt
-1-2 Splenda
-1/4 cup blueberries and 6 sliced strawberries
-5 almonds
