Breakfast:

Maple and Brown Sugar Oatmeal packet
  with walnuts and raisins

Lunch:

Jimmy John's #14 Unwich
Jimmy John's BBQ potato chips

Dinner:

Corn pasta (I like Sam Mill's linguine)
Marinara sauce
  with bell pepper, mushroom, onion
2 oz. mozzarella cheese
Grilled eggplant (see recipe below)

Snack:
Glutino Strawberry breakfast bar
Gluten free chocolate chip cookie (see recipe below)


Grilled Eggplant:
1/4 Eggplant
Salt
Olive oil

Eggplant is a great addition to any meal. Not only is it low in calories and easy to make, it also lasts in the fridge for a long time. So when you're cooking for one, you can save your eggplant and reuse it for a later meal.

Place olive oil in a pan
Cut eggplant into 1/2 inch circles
Place eggplant into oil and add salt
Cook in pan for about 5-7 minutes, or until soft


Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies:
(This is a Martha Stewart recipe that I substituted with Bob's Red Mill All Purpose Gluten Free Flour)

1 1/8 cups flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed light-brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 large egg
1 cup semisweet/milk chocolate chips

Mix dry ingredients, add wet ingredients, bake in oven on greased cookie sheet for about 8 min.



Just a word on Jimmy John's. I had never been to Jimmy John's before this fall, as there are no JJ's in New York City. But here in Alpena, JJ's is a great place to grab a quick sandwich.
The first time I was introduced to JJ's I was thrilled--there is an Unwich option! The Unwich option is served on a lettuce wrap instead of bread.
I was a bit skeptical at first, because usually when things are served on lettuce wraps they fall apart easily and you get all messy. But not here! These unwich sandwiches are so well wrapped in the lettuce that they stay together like a normal sandwich. Not to mention they are DELICIOUS!
If you are like me and miss eating lots of sandwiches, get thee to Jimmy John's!
