None of my meals contain bread,white rice, or pasta. Much is vegan. Carbs are coming from legumes,quinoa, and wild rice. Fats from nuts,avocado, and lean meats. the good news is that since our new are done, the next 5 days will be very easy.

My family has already eaten dinner. Just waiting on dad so we can all play cards. Dinner only involved a reheat.

Yams are much healthier than potatoes: You can microwave for 5 min or so, but better is to put in oven (or preheat oven; doesn't matter) to 400F for 1/2 hour, turn over and poke a few times with a fork, then bake another 1/2 hour.

+1 on the hard boiled eggs

The Joy of Cooking is a great book because it tells you how to do really basic stuff (like bake a squash)

Frozen mixed veggies--heat up; dump tomato sauce on it; there's your healthy "spaghetti"! You can add a little shredded parmesan on top. Of course you can also do spaghetti squash..
