I FORGOT TO POST THE NUTRITIONAL INFO FOR THIS WEEK!
I'm pretty sure everyone is too busy to care about this, but I'll just tell you that you had a lot of vegetables this week in that pasta salad. And that ricotta chocolate cake was literally only that ~ part-skim ricotta cheese, blended with Ghirardelli 60% dark chocolate, and some crushed chocolate graham crackers to make the crunch. Ricotta cheese is low in fat and the dark chocolate is high in antioxidants, so there you go!!
But you all know this lingo already, right? The super foods and the high fiber, blah blah blah. Just enjoy the food and know that I am obsessed with healthy cooking and am absolutely in 7th heaven cooking for you all!!!!
Next week's menu will be up tomorrow....

NUTRITIONAL INFO FOR 9/20-9/25
Here is some great information to know about your meals this week!!
MEAL #1: The Teriyaki Chicken Wraps are packed with veggies and roasted chicken, and sauced up with Hoisin sauce and Reduced Sodium soy sauce. It takes a very small amount of these sauces to pack a punch, and the rest is healthy for ya!
MEAL #2: The recipe for this Creamy Asparagus Soup calls for no cream. You just blend the veggies and the consistency becomes creamy. But I had to add just a little half and half and sour cream. Sorry.
MEAL #3: Tex-Mex Salad ~ That avocado ranch dressing is made with two avocados, a ranch dressing packet, 1% milk, mustard, lime juice, olive oil, and spices. Avocado is a "good" fat, so you have a creamy dressing that's pretty darn good for you! I suggest always using avocado as a substitute for mayo...
SNACK #1: Hummus is so good for you. I added feta cheese this time, instead of Tahini sauce. Chick peas are so filling and give you tons of fiber. Good stuff.
SNACK #2: I used a lite, half salt popcorn in this trail mix, as well as dark chocolate chips.
DESSERT!!! These cookies will be appearing all year long, in different forms. They are MIRACLE cookies. Only 2 Tablespoons of butter, mix with 2 Tablespoons of coconut oil, applesauce, one egg white, a small amount of brown sugar, whole wheat flour, and the rest is nuts and fruit and oats! Amazing!!!!

nutritional info
i hope you all are enjoying your PIXY food today! sam mentioned that all of the food is really good together, so he is having a little bit of the soup with the salad and the salmon.
the salad ~ you can put some of the salad in the LID and toss it with the dressing. that way you can have it more than one day and the salad won't get soggy. just a suggestion.
i also recommend heating the entire salmon meal. i figured out yesterday that the potato salad tastes better when it's warm.
all of the containers are freezable, microwavable and recyclable.
here is some nutritional info:
SOUP: there is absolutely nothing bad for you in this soup! in fact, lots of superfood and yogurt, which aids in digestion. star ingredients include honeydew and cucumbers, in addition to all sorts of veggies and fresh herbs from the farmer's market. i think this soup is so refreshing.
SALAD: the raspberry vinaigrette is made with raspberries, lemon juice, orange juice, extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, fresh herbs, stone ground mustard, honey, and salt and pepper. totally good for you!!!! you can even enjoy the bacon because it's turkey bacon cooked with one slice of real bacon for flavor. i divided that one piece of bacon among SIX of you, so you do the math.
POTATO SALAD: no mayo. as guilt-free as potatoes can be!
YOGURT DIP: i added a bit of sour cream to the yogurt, but it is mostly yogurt with cucumber and herbs. very healthy.
FRUIT: the marinade is honey, mint, basil and orange juice. i think lime juice too.
GRILLED PEACHES: the topping is a granola made by a new company in KC called "hippie chow". i mixed some of that granola with one tablespoon of butter (again, divided among six people), cinnamon, fresh nutmeg and sliced almonds. that's one guilt-free dessert. hope you like it!!!!
if anyone would like weight watcher points, please let me know. i could do some research and try to add that info to the blog!!!
