Lunch of the Week :)

If this doesnt look like a TON of food, the picture is deceptive! All organic and homemade...heirloom romaine lettuce dressed with balsamic vinaigrette. Topped by cous cous salad that consists of dried cranberries, raisins and pumpkin...with a yogurt mint sauce (low fat plain yogurt with salt, pepper, garlic, dill and mint--to taste). This has to be the best food Ive cooked yet--so good in fact, I may have it again next week. 

Im trying something new this week. I noticed that Im always hungry about an hour and half to two hours after I eat lunch...which has led to unfortunate snacking decisions. And I also noticed that if I eat the same thing for dinner as I had for lunch, then Im still really full when I head to the gym. This kinda sucks because I usually have coffee before the gym and that, on top of dinner, makes me feel kinda gross. So...this week...Im having a big lunch and then when I would normally have dinner, I packed a few rice cakes, an apple and a slice of cheese. This should decrease my overall calorie intake and decrease the yucky feeling :) I'll let you know how it goes!
