I have been avoiding trying almond butter since the start of the diet. We purchased approved bagels and they have been sitting in the freezer since day 1, but I really did not know or want to attempt to eat them. Coming from New Jersey, bagels are a way of life. To this day, when my parents come down to visit me I always remind them to bring a dozen bagels. They really do not make them the same or as good here in NC. Well, I was running short on time so I decided to go for it... Toasted the bagel, slapped on some Almond Butter and believe it or not, it was actually really good. Now don't get me wrong, a bagel with cream cheese does not get much better, but as my palette continues to change, this is something that I can certainly get used to.
Lunch was great, I brought in leftover Chili from the weekend. It actually tasted better as it had time to sit in the refrigerator. Another nice, quick and easy meal. Just a few minutes in the microwave and I was ready to go. Certainly helped going from one meeting to the next.
For dinner, we were busy yet again. Wednesday was certainly a crazy busy day. I decided to go rogue and just make up a dish on my own. It really was not too difficult. We went whole wheat fusilli pasta (reminds be of Fusilli Jerry from Seinfeld), I sauteed one onion, added mushrooms and peppers and then added 2 cans of fire roasted diced tomatoes (no salt added of course). The whole meal too about 10-15 minutes to prepare and was delicious.

If allowed you could also try apple butter.
