Meal Plans With Chocolate?



So I've been trying to write up and follow menus every week instead of cooking one-pot meals. It gives me some variety, as well as fulfilling all the food groups, but I must say I'm taking the easy way out most of the time. Now I may microwave some vegetables to add to meals throughout the week and make rice in my rice cooker or a loaf of whole-wheat bread in my bread maker. But primarily I'm relying on Amy's frozen dinners, veggie burgers, soup, and eggs for the entree. 

My special treat is a peanut butter sandwich day. Some of these easy meals are lighter in sodium than others, but at least I know the dinners are relatively healthy. And I just checked the Amy's website for sodium levels, and they include several meal plans for a variety of needs! I'm checking these out! Amy's Meal Plans

One of my biggest problems is my love of the late-night snack. I know this about myself, so I'm trying to limit my intake by doling out servings in sandwich bags and sucking on sugar free candy and frozen fruit bars. Last night I had my 3/4 cup of chocolate cereal along with 5 sugar free Werthers' while I read before bed. I just read a great YA book, btw, about the horrors of cacao farming in the Ivory Coast--The Bitter Side of Sweet by Tara Sullivan.
Kristin just recommended The Inexplicable Logic of My Life and read a lovely section of it about words as theories.
