Date Night!

Since there were plenty of leftovers for the rest of family, the husband and I decided that we needed a date night.  And having the adult age child back home, for however long that might be, means we can do these spontaneous nights out.
We went to Genghis Grill, since it is a nice enough place that is very good about catering my my allergies and vegetarian eating.
I once again had eggs, nuts and seeds for my protein, and brown rice for my starch. I went for the dragon sauce as usual.  There are lots of peppers, onion and spinach in there and a bit of broccoli with my usual water chestnuts and pineapple.  I really just need to start checking out some of the central aisles at the grocery store and getting myself some water chestnuts.  I love those things.
The kids had leftovers.  There were lots of leftovers to be had.  Part of my leftover issue for this week, is that I plan my meals around my husband having them for lunch.  But this week a client has been visiting the office and they have been eating out.  This has really messed up my meal plans.
Next week is a vacation, but the boy will be home puppy sitting.  But anyway for next week's vacation we have only contributed for one share from the co-op instead of 2.  We will be taking some of the food with us, as our motel has a fridge and we will be eating in room for at least one meal a day.  And I have frozen some lentil burgers for the boy and am making a larger pot of spaghetti sauce tomorrow for the boy to help insure that he has home cooked meals while we are gone.  I figure the sandwiches with lunch meat he usually has for lunch are still way healthier than the burgers he had been getting before he moved back.  At least his sandwiches now are whole grain breads from the co-op, with fresh veggies.
