Lunch, Day Two

• Black bean, carrot & onion pate flavored with cumin
• 1 oz. tortilla chips
• 2 C salad greens with 2 tbsp fat-free Italian dressing
• 1 apple

I had Diet Dr Pepper to drink.

I felt this was a bit excessive in preparation required... I had to actually steam 4 baby carrots, then bust out the food processor to combine them with the black beans (which I had to rinse), adding both eventually to onion which I had to sautee... as I've said, I'm not used to this much cooking, but boy do I resent having to learn to use the steamer for 4 baby carrots!

In the end, though, it was so delicious I no longer minded. The chips were an especially great treat!
