Day 3: A Friend, A Salad, and 2 Toddlers

Day 3 went well, mostly because of a thoughtful friend. Yesterday was a playdate day for my son and my friend Ann's son. They are cute together, even though they spent a good portion of their time together playing separately-as most toddlers do. I was looking forward to a park outing so he could run off his energy and I could burn off a few calories but it was too chilly and a bit too windy so we stayed indoors. Ann, a twig of a woman, was so very thoughtful about my diet. She made salad for lunch-a delicious salad with spring mix, avocado, pears, pine nuts, cheese, chicken, and good seasons dressing. It was to die for. I had never had a pear in a salad before but it is definitely on my list of future salad ingredients. I'm also going to be purchasing good seasons dressing because it was terrific. Pine nuts--excellent. Everything was terrific. As far as the chicken went, she knows what she did and it was thoughtful and delicious. Our sons ate grilled cheese sandwiches, at least that's what they were supposed to do. Toddlers never do what you want them to do. At any rate, friends, salads, and two happy, smiley toddlers made for a great day 3. Here's what I ate:

Breakfast:
Cinnamon-Raison Bread w/ whipped cream cheese

Lunch:
Ann's Awesome Salad

Dinner:
Pasta (portioned out) with homemade tomato sauce & scallops

Snack:
Vanilla yogurt w/ blackberries, blueberries, strawberries and flax

Cheers to friendship!
