Recipe of the Week

On Body for Life, you have a "free day" to eat whatever you want and not work out. Sounds lovely. Some folks have a real problem with this concept and feel like they are ruining all their hard work with a free for all eating binge. The reasons in the book for having a free day are sound, but even I only indulge in a free meal or 2 throughout the week. (This last holiday week not included). So what can you do to cut out the crazy eating, but still feel like you're satisfying your inner beastie? Well, you can still eat a salad, but add some tasty and less than low-fat dressing. You can eat white potatoes instead of sweet potatoes at one of your meals. You can have a soda drink instead of water once a week. These are just ideas. Here's a delicious and relatively healthy meal I had yesterday. It's not quite BFL, but it wasn't fast food either. Enjoy!

Soup 'N Sandwich

1 1/2 cup of heated tomato soup (of the organic variety, but still includes heavy cream)
plus....
Focaccia bread (not wheat - remember, we're cheating a bit here) with a smattering of pesto mayo, herbed turky cutlets, lettuce and tomato.

Simple and yummy and not too much guilt.
Happy eating!
