Grilled Pork Chops and Spinach Salad

1 grilled pork chop with spicy rub
2 cups of spinach salad with peas, sunflower seeds, and blue cheese dressing
1/2 cup of home canned spiced peaches
1/2 slice of pumpernickel toast

The spinach is loaded with iron and the sunflower seeds are high in vitamin E. 

Almond Butter Crackers

5 saltines (only 60 calories--a lot less than a slice of bread)
2 tablespoons fresh ground almond butter
1 tomato with blue cheese and pepper
1 cup of cubed mango
1 cup skim milk

I recently discovered almond butter!  It is a delicious and more nutritious version of peanut butter.  I am also still trying to fill at least half my plate with fruits or vegetables.  The mango alone wasn't enough, so I added in a sliced tomato.  Very simple and very satisfying.

Don't forget to have milk (or a dairy equivalent) with every meal!

Pizza Night

1/2 plate of salad

some sprinkles of blue cheese and a teaspoon of ranch dressing

1 slice pepperoni pizza

Pizza night is easy.  Just fill half your plate with salad first and when you've eaten that, you aren't so hungry for that 2nd or 3rd piece of pizza.  ;)
