Day 2 - meatless

This was a little easier as I had worked at home and it was a Friday night. We decided to try having wild cod fillets from our local grocery store. Normally we don't eat cod (unless it's fried) but what the heck we'll give it a try!

I use a Tastefully Simple Sassy Sangria grilling sauce to cover the fish. We put them on a foil pan on the grill.

To accompany the small fillets I made a crock pot macaroni and cheese and salad

Macaroni and Cheese
(my favorite comfort food, made easy)

2 cups uncooked macaroni
12 oz can of evaporated milk
1/3 cup of egg substitute like Egg Beaters
2 cups of fat free milk
1 Tablespoon butter or margarine
8 oz of cubed Velveeta cheese (light or regular)
16 oz of your choice of shredded cheese (we used 8 oz of fat free cheddar and 8 oz of Italian 3 cheese)

Cook the macaroni al dente, drain, and mix with all of the above ingredients in the crock pot.
Cook on Low 2 1/2 -3 hours stirring at least one time.


Fruit and Nut Salad

~2 cups of fresh spinach leaves
sprinkle the following ingredients to taste
- salted sunflower seeds
- plain pumpkin seeds
- dried cranberries
- almond slices or slivers
- candied walnuts

1/2 large cucumber, cubed
1 large tomato, wedged
1/4-1/2 cup crumbled reduced fat feta cheese

Toss all together.
Serve with your favorite balsamic vinaigrette.
