Day 8 Wrap Up

Quilt bee today and everyone decided to go to Pot Belly for sandwiches.  No problem.  I packed my MFF chicken enchiladas and off we went.  My discipline was rewarded with one of the best MFF meals I've had on the program.  Yum, yum!  My expectations were a little off.  I was guessing red sauce and spicy.  Instead it was a creamy (yogurt-based) cilantro/jalapeno sauce over the enchiladas...and there were real black beans with salsa.  It was very delicious.

Snack #2 today was my first EAS protein drink and a whole apple!  Originally they had given me a chocolate drink.  I exchanged that for vanilla before I left the store.  I will try strawberry next time.  It was tolerable, but I wouldn't want to make a habit out of drinking them.  The apple on the other hand was so great.  It was huge--bigger than my fist.  A very sweet, crunchy Fuji apple.  Thank you, may I have another???

Dinner was pepper steak.  Yes, there was pepper, and yes, there was steak.  I would have preferred green peppers instead of yellow, but not a big deal.  It was served on a bed of finely shredded carrots--didn't really go with it.  And then, the mashed potatoes I was hoping for?  Nope, mashed cauliflower.  I have heard that mashed cauliflower can be substituted for mashed potatoes, but I've never tried it.  Now I can say with confidence that it is a substitute in appearance only!  It should always come with a warning label.
