The Amazing Soup Diet – Day 2
Posted by Pyrrh on December 8th, 2009
Today’s food:
Breakfast – Banana-Nut Cereal – 6 WW points
I HATE Cheerios. But I ate them. I saved the walnuts and banana for after my workout. Mom mixed them into the cereal.
Lunch – Caprese Salad – 7 WW points
I used a small tortilla instead of pita bread, which we hadn’t found soy-free yet. Both dishes were very tasty. especially with the homemade hummus. Traditional Caprese (pronounced Capreasy) is made with fresh basil and a drizzle of olive oil, no vinegar, and isn’t marinated ahead of time. This was an interesting variation, however. We used a little more than a sprinkle of balsamic, and had to use dried basil; it is definitely better with fresh. I made this after breakfast and let it marinate in the vinegar a couple of hours.
By the way, 8 (3/4-in.) chunks part-skim mozzarella actually means 2 ounces. Have you ever tried to measure while cutting cubes of mozzarella? I just cut small cubes and weigh them.
Dinner – Mexican Chicken Soup – 8 WW points
I made a few adjustments to dinner, using canned corn, and chili powder instead of cumin. A fresh flour tortilla replaced the chips. The salad was a combination that we wouldn’t eat normally, but it turned out okay, even with just a vinegar dressing. I used canned mandarin orange segments, because peeling and segmenting an orange for a salad takes a lot of patience.
Again, my baby and husband both liked it, too.
