I feel like I did great today with my eating and meal planning.  I'm proud, so I'm going to share!  Today for every meal, I actually ate something from Taralynn's website.

BREAKFAST:
Blueberry Health Muffin (made Monday night)
Banana 

LUNCH:
1/2 bagel
3 Itty Bitty Turkey Sandwiches with a little cream cheese (picture below)
A handful of cashews

DINNER:
French cut green beans

This was my dinner plate when I FINALLY was able to eat my food.

Addie's Cheesy Cauliflower Bake

Calories: 98, Fat 7, Carbs 4, Protein 4 

8 Servings
Ingredients:

• head of cauliflower
• 1/2 brick of cream cheese
• 2 oz. shredded cheddar cheese
• salt & peper to taste

Directions:

1. Cut into small florets, doesn't have to be pretty, and wash head of cauliflower.
2. Place in pot large enough to cover cauliflowers, boil until tender. Meanwhile heat oven to broil.
3. Drain.  Use potato masher to smoosh until it looks like potatoes.
4. Mix cream cheese with cauliflower until melted throughout.  Add salt & pepper if desired to taste.  Spread in a small glass baking dish. Top with shredded cheese.
5. Since the cauliflower is already cooked, I like to throw it into the oven on broil for 5-10 minutes until the cheese gets a little brown and crispy.
