Dinner, Day Sixty-Eight


  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese mixed with 1 tbsp wheat germ & 1/4 cup dried pineapple, sweetened with Splenda
  • 1 whole wheat hamburger bun
  • 16 reduced-fat Wheat Thins
  • 1 cup lettuce with 1 tbsp fat-free Italian dressing

I was really not in the mood to cook at all, so I scrolled around for something that had minimal preparation. Suddenly I saw this option that I'd never seen before and was flabberghasted -- I could eat a half cup of ricotta cheese?!? How could I possibly resist?

It became kind of dessert-like, real sweet because of the pineapple. I imagine it would have been much more substantive, for example had I used the cup of fresh strawberries it called for, but I wasn't in that kind of mood (nor did I have the ingredients).

I made a mistake with the breads - it said two slices of whole wheat bread, so I got a roll and the crackers, then later realized the crackers would be a third serving since I'm pretty sure the bun counts as two (as if it were two slices of bread). I reconciled this by eating the rest of my snack without the crackers and was quite pleased.
