"I had a meeting this morning close to where my in-laws live, so I met my mother-in-law and sister-in-law for lunch at a great local cafe. I ordered...\\n\\n[#image: /photos/57d8d91a46d0cb351c8c6d37]||||||...the half salad/half sandwich combo and decided to go [meatless](/fooddiet/2012/04/5-satisfying-vegan-meals-slideshow#slide=1), so I chose the portobello veggie sandwich and house salad with a cherry-balsamic dressing. It was sooo good -- I will have to find a [recipe](/search/recipe) for that dressing! It also came with chips, but I was plenty full without them. I splurged a little and got a glass of fruit tea as a treat with it.\\n\\n[#image: /photos/57d8d91a24fe9dae328335a2]||||||[#image: /photos/57d8d91b4b76f0f832a0fb7b]||||||I didn't get home until late in the evening, so a quick dinner was in order. I made salads with mixed greens, toasted pecans, goat cheese and blueberries and asked Joe to pick up some sushi on his way home. Unfortunately, he said the sushi selection was a little low at our [grocery store](/fooddiet/2011/06/healthy-food-awards-dinners-slideshow#slide=1) tonight, so we ended up with spicy tuna (which I usually skip due to the creamy sauce) and it was white rice (I usually prefer brown for more fiber and nutrients from the whole grain). Oh well, it was still a nice, light dinner -- a perfect end for the warm day we had today!\\n\\nComments? Requests?
