*Wow!  This day should go as a warning against pre-packaged foods.  A friend came over with some pound cake, I read the ingredients, so I knew a little of what I was getting into before I ate my first piece.  :/  But, when I decided to find out the calorie count for my records, I was really shocked to find out that 1 piece was 300 cal!  Eek!  So, if you are trying to lose weight while following this menu plan, be wary of pre-packaged foods!  Also, I splurged a little on pb again today.  It is too good!  And that must be why we haven't bought that kind in months.
