Day 3 on The Fresh Diet

Top Left: Breakfast. Top Right: Lunch. Bottom Left: Snack 1. Bottom Middle: Snack 2. Bottom Right: Dinner. 

Breakfast (9:30am): Hawaiian Pineapple Stuffed Whole Wheat French Toast w/Strawberries & Blueberry Cottage Cheese

My favorite breakfast so far! I looooooove french toast, and eating it knowing that it wasn't going to give me a full-on heart attack from being smothered in powdered sugar and whipped cream (word up, IHOP) made it even more enjoyable. The strawberries off to the side were fresh and tartly sweet. The blueberry cottage cheese was scary looking at first (never eaten flavored cottage cheese before) but proved to be very delicious! I'll be picking french toast out on my menu if it pops up again. Wish I would have gotten a better pic of how the pineapple was "stuffed" into the toast; will try to do this next time it comes up. 

Lunch (12:40pm): Mushroom Souffle & Gruyere Cheese Panini on Whole Wheat Ciabatta Bread

This sandwich was served on the same bread as Thursday's grilled chicken breast sandwich, which again was very good. The sandwich with the 'shrooms and cheese left a little bit to be desired. The whole thing was kind of bland. I don't know what I was expecting a sandwich with only mushrooms and cheese to taste like. I picked it because the other menu options for lunch that day didn't appeal to me at all. Overall, the bread made the sandwich taste good, but the mushrooms and cheese could have used a little flavor punch. 

Snack 1 (4pm): Chicken Skewer w/Tequila Lime Glaze

Very tasty; would have liked a third piece of chicken, but I guess this is a diet, right? Reminded me of some tequila lime chicken entree that I order at either Applebee's or Chili's. You know, that makes me think that including a tiny wedge of lime could have made this snack even tastier. Yum anyhow! 

Dinner (7pm): Fillet of Chilean Sea Bass w/Citrus Chipotle Sauce w/Sun-Dried Tomato Couscous & Haricot Vert

The best dinner so far! OMG the bass + sauce was amazingly, outstandingly good! I can't even begin to explain the flavor, but the fish was SO juicy and fresh and tender...the couscous was very good, although some of the chipotle sauce mixed in with it making certain bites a little mouth-puckeringly tart. The green beans (c'mon, I had to Google wtf Haricot Vert was to find out they're just a French version/word for green beans) were crisp, fresh, and yummy. I just can't get over hot GREAT the fish was. Gonna try to pick more fish entrees in the coming weeks. Both fish meals I've had so far have been winners. 

Snack 2 (9:30pm): Apricot Cheesecake

VERY good! Tasted like regular cheesecake (<3>) although I think the apricot flavor was supposed to come from the crust, it wasn't overpowering and I tasted it most when eating the crust. Perfect portion size :)  Will be ordering more cheesecake in the future.
