Day 5 on the Fresh Diet

Top left: Breakfast. Top right: Lunch. Middle left: Snack 1. Middle bottom: Snack 2. Bottom right: Dinner. 

Breakfast (10:15am): Blueberry Cream Cheese Crepes w/Fresh Pineapple & Wild Berry Sauce

Delicious! The wild berry sauce made these crepes taste amazing! They were already pretty tasty on their own, but my dear, that sauce was greeeeeat! My only complaint: I was hungry very soon after this meal. Oh, and the pineapple was fresh and sweet. I can't compare this to a crepe you'd get at Denny's or IHOP since I haven't ordered nor eaten a crepe prior to this morning in many years. I wonder what kind of batter they use to make these. I would love to be able to eat pancakes, waffles and crepes using some secret formula healthy batter rather than regular carb/sugar pancake mix stuff. 


Lunch (1:10pm): Fresh Mozzarella Wrap w/Baby Spinach, Roasted Bell Pepper & Basil Pesto on Sun-Dried Tomato Tortilla

Superb! I mistakenly heated it in the microwave for 20 seconds, but I put it in the freezer for about 10 minutes and it was as good as new. TFD's basil pesto is really good; adds a good flavor pop. It came with their chicken sandwich on Thursday of last week. I just loooooove fresh mozzarella! The bell peppers inside were surprisingly and deliciously sweet. The wrap didn't have a very tomato-ey flavor to it, so if you don't like tomatoes, don't be put off by this choice. If you like Caprese salads and sandwiches, this dish is for you! 


Snack 1 (4:15pm): Mushroom Crowns Stuffed w/Sauteed Garlic Beef w/Tomato Sauce

I think the tomato sauce must have been mixed in with the beef or something, because there wasn't anything to dip it in. It was...okay. Another snack served on a bed of alfalfa sprouts, which I ate, but I guess I should keep some balsamic vinegar around to flavor them with. The mushroom was a little too water-logged, probably due to the alfalfa sprout juice or liquid in the bottom of the container. The beef was okay. Probably my least favorite dish so far. 


Dinner (6:42pm): Chicken Cordon Blue w/Ham & Swiss Cheese w/Nine Grain Pilaf & Sweet Potato & Leeks Mash

The chicken was delish, the sweet potato mash was awesome, and the nine grain pilaf was not to my liking. It wasn't bad, I just didn't have a taste for all those crunchy grains in my rice. Kind of a bland flavor to the pilaf, as well. I usually order the chicken cordon blue from Arby's as a sandwich and I found this piece of chicken on it's own to be more filling and less greasy. There could have been a bit more ham stuffed inside the chicken breast, but...yes yes, portion control, I know, I know. Oh, and the leeks mixed up in the sweet potatoes weren't omnipresent in the flavor. I was a little worried for that at first, but the sweet potatoes were sweet (lol) and the leeks just added some occasional crunchiness. 


Snack 2 (9:40pm): Peanut Butter Chip Cheesecake

Awesome awesome awesome! This one really tasted a lot like peanut butter (less like your basic, original cheesecake), total yummage. I kind of want to say it tasted like I was eating the inside of a Reese's Peanut Butter Egg, except way creamier cheesecake-style. I adored the peanut butter chips on top! What a sweet treat! I'm going to have to go through my menu choices and make sure I've picked out lots of cheesecake for the coming weeks. To my knowledge, some form of flavored cheesecake is on the menu every day. I steered away from the kiwi cheesecake flavor, because I'm not a fan of kiwis, plus I'd like to try their variety of desserts to get a more well-rounded view of TFD's menu options.
