• Waffle with almond butter & berries.
• Pan seared salmon with asparagus rice stir-fry.
• Ramen noodle soup with pork, veggies and herbs.

 

Saturday: Most casual day of the week for us. We hit the markets early. We shop and eat our breakfast there. Then we start running for the rest of the day. We end the day by going out for dinner. I love going out to experience new foods and ways of preparing them. I am always looking for inspiration.

• Farmers Market trip: Fruit, cheese, and baguette.
• Leftovers. Usually a sandwich.
• Out to dinner. No cooking.

Sunday: Just two meals today. Leisurely morning breakfast and late afternoon meal is what we usually do.

• Pancakes, omelet, fruit, and bacon. Lots of coffee.
• Grilled flank steak, baked potato, and mixed green salad.
