Eating Down the Fridge Day 2

So day 1 was easy. As many of you pointed out, we had delicious and healthy food through the day. Sure, there is some planning to do. I am learning that last night's diner makes great lunch dabba the next day. As I write this, I am planning tomorrow's lunch and I think I just came up with a great idea!

Before I digress, let me tell you all about today. I got up again to pack food for the day.

Lunch for Aswin: Leftover rice and avial.
Lunch for me: It was a busy day. So I had non fat yogurt with brown sugar, strawberries (that we got a week ago) and blueberries. I got the blueberries about a week and a half ago. Since then I have been thinking of ways to use it. There is still half box left. Maybe I will make a dessert :)

Snacks: Apple, grapes and roasted almonds.

Dinner: Aswin made dinner today as I worked late on a deadline. I came home to Aswin grumbling that there are probably two more frozen mixed veg packs that we need to use! But there was delicious Tofu, black beans and mixed veg curry with rotis and pickle for dinner. (Pre-made rotis ran out today as we didn't pick them up from the Indian store this week!)

Its great that your husband helps you with dinner :) Mine does chopping, cleaning, kneading and cooking rice but sometimes I wish he'd just do the whole thing!!
