This week's update:

• Monday -- 2 scrambled eggs with 1 Tbsp. cheese, toasted whole-grain mini bagel with margarine, 2 cups V8, pistachios, ½ pkg. Green Giant Simply Steam Baby Vegetable Medley, Healthy Choice Lobster Cheese Ravioli (quick review of the entrée: I liked it, for the most part, but there were only 5 ravioli in there, which is hardly enough for lunch, and I prefer vodka sauces that are more pink than red -- I could barely taste the Parmesan cheese in this dish)
• Tuesday -- 6 oz. Chobani strawberry yogurt, granola, banana, pistachios, Lean Cuisine Pepperoni French bread pizza, carrots (quick review of the yogurt: BELIEVE THE HYPE -- this is the best yogurt I have ever had in my life, it was like eating custard, and it was fruit on the bottom, which is like giving yourself a little present from God, seriously)
• Wednesday -- cinnamon raisin bagel with ½ ounce cream cheese, plum, 1 ounce Jarlsberg, 1 slice roasted turkey, pistachios, 1 can (2 cups) Campbell's Select Harvest Mediterranean-style meatball with bowtie pasta soup, Tomato Salad (recipe below)

Here is the recipe for my "Tomato Salad": ⅔ cup cherry tomatoes, halved; ¼ cup cheese and garlic croutons; 2 tablespoons light buttermilk ranch dressing. If you're lazy, you don't even need to cut the tomatoes, but I like the way the juice and seeds mixes with the creamy dressing. Also, you can substitute any kind of creamy dressing -- bleu cheese and Thousand Island are also very tasty. Maybe not something to eat every day, but an alternative to plain tomatoes all the time (I like crunchy, salty foods, sue me).
