Share ideas, What did you eat today ?

You're certainly welcome. I have come to love spaghetti squash. I didn't discover it until after I was banded. I honestly would have used it instead of pasta before being banded. I'm glad you and your kids like it!

i'm on mushies sooo....

yesterday

b: protein shake- made with water
l: mushroom soup (campbell's select)
d: mashed potatoes & creamed spinach (2oz each)
s: peanut butter chocolate ricotta cream (SO GOOD).

in case you want to know how to make the snack..it's a cup of skim ricotta, a teaspoon of vanilla, 3 splenda, tablespoon of natural peanut butter, tablespoon of sugar free chocolate syrup (or coco). blend well (i used a food processor). chill. this makes a lot (for one). i had 2 oz for snack and i probably have at least 5 servings left. You can make this with any flavor if you're not down with peanut butter.

today (so far)

b: protein shake lol (but made with skim today)
l: will be butternut squash soup
