Day 8 & 9 dinner is Mini Meatloaves. These are about the size of a cupcake since you bake 'em in a muffin pan. They're quite tasty. Next time I'm making 16 and freezing a bunch. Served with whole grain brown rice. Get the Recipe Mini Meatloaves...
I'm not a big fan of cooked Cauliflower, so we used Broccoli instead for Day 7's side dish which I'm calling Broccoli & Couscous Pilaf. (We left out the currants, and subbed broccoli for the cauliflower but otherwise followed the recipe.) We...
Day 7's dinner was Lemon-Garlic Shrimp & Vegetables and it was so much more delicious than I ever thought it would be. I'm not a big fan of bell peppers, but I liked this dish a lot and so did the boys. Unlike the photo that comes with the...
Leftover Spinach & Cheese Stuffed Manicotti for Valentine's Day lunch. Dan was pleasantly surprised. :-) Just cut the second piece of Manicotti on a diagonal to form a heart. Get the Recipe Spinach & Cheese Stuffed Manicotti Recipe:...
Day 5 & 6 dinner was Spinach & Cheese Stuffed Manicotti. We were supposed to use Jumbo Shells, but the store was out so this was the next best thing. 4 shell's stuffing amounts to 2 and 3/4 Manicotti, so we opted to eat only 2 Manicotti due...

Day 4: Cornmeal-Crusted Chicken with Pepian Sauce. Warning, this recipe took much longer to prep than it said in the recipe. Their picture doesn't seem to fit the recipe description like my outcome did either. I served it with steamed broccoli (not...
Day 3: Athenian Pasta Primavera. I left out the peas (yuck!) and mint (it didn't sound good to me in this context). I served it with some lightly salted grilled asparagus. Get the Recipe Athenian Pasta Primavera Recipe: http://budurl.com/EWDay3
Day 2: Linguine with Escarole & Shrimp. We used 1/2 the escarole the recipe called for. 16 cups really would have been too much. The picture that goes w/ the recipe didn't have 16 cups either! Get the Recipe Linguine with Escarole & Shrimp...
Day 2 dessert: My take on Mango Brulee. I sliced the mangoes instead of cross-cutting them like they did and shook a little Vanilla Powder over the top which really gave it a great flavor for only a few more calories. Get the Recipe Mango Brulee...
