Day 17

Breakfast: Spinach and sweet potato coddled eggs with Provolone. My favorite egg breakfast so far, probably because it's all my favorite ingredients!

Snack 1: Vegetarian black bean chili. Yum. Creamy and yet light at the same time.

Lunch: Braised brisket of beef 'bourguinon' with shallots, mushroom and quinoa pilaf. I wish they would add mushrooms to more dishes, this one was great.

Snack 2: Beluga lentil and feta salad. The feta seemed a bit too pungent for the rest of this salad.

Dinner: Seared Tilapia with market veggies. This fish was mushier than expected, maybe it's out of season and they've been preparing frozen meats?

Day 16

Breakfast: Buttermilk waffles with summer vanilla roasted pears and turkey bacon. I usually like my waffles crispy, so microwaving it made it chewy and soggy. I added strawberry yogurt and it was great.

Snack 1: Caponata, Italian eggplant salad. Plain, but eggplant wasn't bad.

Lunch: Beef Bolognaise with baby zucchini and linguini. The beef was good, but the pasta is always this mushy mess.

Snack 2: Chocolate Strawberry Shortcake. This was more like a muffin with cream in the middle and some strawberries. The cake was dry, but not in a way you'd expect for a shortcake. It tasted more like a dry muffin.

Dinner: Poached Atlantic Salmon with brown rice. This tasted really fishy. I told my mother and she told me it was probably not fresh. I'm not sick from it though!

Day 15

I'm back! After a holiday hiatus, I'll catch up on posting. Hope y'all had an amazing Thanksgiving!

Breakfast: Steele Cut Oats with grilled pineapple and turkey bacon. Good good as oats usually are.

Snack 1: Smoked Salmon Mousse on a piece of pita. I accidentally left this out for an hour before eating it, I think it tasted better that way.

Lunch: Chicken Scaloppini with snap peas, asparagus and green olive compote. One of my favorites, prob because it didn't have the al dente veggies. Chicken with green olives made it flavorful and moist.

Dinner: Stuffed Loin of Pork with black rife pilaf. This was the dryest piece of pork I've ever had. I'm not even sure what they stuffed it with, but it was absolutely terrible!

Day 14

Breakfast: Meat and Cheese burrito. Yum! This was also tiny, like 2 bites, or 1/10 of the size of a Chipotle burrito haha.

Lunch: Grilled Shrimp over veggies. Decent sized shrimp, with enough herbs and fresh lemon juice.

Dinner: Seared Striped Bass. Once again, like any other white fish...

Day 13

Breakfast: Vegetarian Minestrone Stew. This was great, it was like a thicker version of the soup.

Snack: Mocha Cheesecake. Something about their cheesecake is always too tart for me. It was like tart cheese, a hint of mocha, more tart cheese flavor.

Lunch: Chunky sweet maine lobster with roasted veggies. Can never complain about having lobster. Didn't have to work for it either.

Dinner: Herb Seared Trout. I have a difficult time telling the difference between all the white fish served...

Day 12

Breakfast: Steel cut oats with strawberry and mango. My love for oatmeal continues...

Snack 1: Tabouleh, middle eastern cracked wheat salad. This was extremely hard and chewy with crunch veggies like celery and undercooked string beans. Not a favorite.

Lunch: Swedish meatballs with brussel sprouts and black rice pilaf. One of my favorites so far! Though, the gravy doesn't compare to Ikea, the sides were my favorites!

Dinner: Herb Seared Atlantic Salmon with white beans and ratatouille. Standard salmon. Ratatouille was a new side. :)

Day 11

Breakfast: Buttermilk Waffle with roasted apples and turkey bacon. This was a mini waffle, like smaller than a dinge. Like 2 delicious mini bites!

Snack: Crostini of Smoked Salmon Mousse. This was on a piece of pita bread in reality. Hints of salmon, but was more like a scoop of creamy cheese.

Lunch: Stuffed Turkey Meatloaf with baby patty pan squash and black beans. Beans were a bit undercooked, otherwise meatloaf was flavorful (herbed but not salted enough) and of a good consistency.

Dinner: Grilled White Meat Chicken with asparagus and barley pilaf. Kind of dry. I need to maybe change my preferences to remove chicken.
