two bananas, 
one apple
bowl of cherries
Stew (little bit of beef, carrots, potatoes and onions were in it)
Trout with lemon
Banana bread (wheat, bananas in it.)

OP, I will give you points for eating a fairly healthy diet for an American! Looks like mostly fresh, wholesome foods, not too processed, esp if the banana bread is home baked. Fresh fruit is great, too!

In terms of "healthy fruits and vegetables being colorful" people seek those out for the antioxidents. Cherries are great, the carrots in the stew are good too. Nothing wrong with lemon and apples and bananas and they can be a good source of fiber and minerals. But for the "colorful" produce think in terms of more greens (all the leafy greens like kale, spinach, arugula, and brassicas like broccoli, brussels, cabbage); reds/purples like red onion, red pepper, eggplant, raspberries, cranberries, beets, red grapes, radishes, tomaties and even watermelons;  oranges- like apricots, sweet potatoes, mangoes.  And more mushrooms too.[/quote]
Thanks so much! I do love apricots, but they are hard to find. I used to eat a ton of green beans, but I got tired of them.
Banana bread was homemade, as was the stew and I also made trout. Can't eat peppers, they make me sick.[/quote]
