You maybe noticed I didn't buy any meat other than the tuna. That's because we have a freezer full of meat. I plan to defrost and organize it this week, so I know better what I have in there.

And you might wonder "what do we eat for breakfast and lunch"? Since it's just 2 of us, it's pretty simple. Daniel gets an egg/cheese sandwich (homemade) every morning with a cup of OJ - he eats on the way to work. I usually have a piece of toast and some fruit with either LF cottage cheese or LF yogurt. Daniel's lunches are usually a sandwich of sorts, with maybe a muffin or some cookies, and chips. My lunch is either some leftovers, a wrap, or here lately they have been a tomato sandwich with tomatoes from the garden :)
