| Spicy Peanut Arugula Salad with Poached Eggs for Lunch! |
Daily Tidbit: Eggs are amazing things - delicious, filling and packed with nutrients! They have gotten a bum wrap over the years, so I'm thrilled to see some research indicating all the health benefits of eggs - not to mention a good reason to forego those "white omelets" for the good old fashioned yellow kind...check it out here:

Meanwhile, I have a new favorite way to make eggs: Poaching them in the microwave! It could not be any easier. In a large coffee mug put 1/2 cup of water. Break 2 eggs into the water. Loosely place microwave safe plastic wrap on top of the mug. Cook in microwave 60-90 seconds. Voila! No pans or spatulas to clean and it eliminates the need for oil or butter. And oh yeah, it takes less than 2 minutes! LOVE this. And check out my photo from lunch (above) - they are just as beautiful as they are tasty!

| Red Curry Chicken with Veggies for Dinner! |
Frozen Brussels Sprouts, Frozen French Green Beans, Frozen mixed Red, Yellow & Green Peppers, Frozen Sweet Petit Peas, fresh Red Onion, Russet Potato, cooked in 1 tbsp of EVOO, browned and mixed with Thai Red Curry Sauce & Low Sodium Chicken Broth and Rotisserie Chicken. Topped with roasted Almond slices.
White Wine
Note: I made this dish for two so I was careful on portions: 1 potato, so we would each get only half, 1/2 cup of Thai sauce which is high in sodium, so we would each only get 1 serving of 1/4 cup (notice you can't really see the red curry sauce in the picture - but believe me it was there and we could taste it!) I didn't measure the other veggies, just eyeballed what I thought would be enough to fill us up. And 1 tbsp of toasted Almonds each!
