Day #4

Breakfast: Organic Raisin Bran (try Cascadian Farms)
Skim milk or almond or soy milk
Fruit of choice (banana, apple, melon, orange or grapefruit slices)

Lunch: Turkey Sandwich on Whole Grain Bread
I prefer organic turkey (Applegate Farms costs a bit more, it isn't processed and it tastes better and has less salt). Instead of mayo or mustard or heavy russian dressing, add cranberry chutney and watercress.
Slice watermelon to have with it.

Snack: Granola Bar (TLC brand makes great ones!)

Dinner: Veal Stew with Spring Veggies and Whole Grain Noodles
You can make this with either a slow-cooker or on the stove in a large skillet
Ingredients- 3 large carrots (cut into slices), 2 onions chopped, 1 garlic clove chopped, 2 tsp chopped rosemary, 2 cups chicken broth, 2 tbsp tomato paste, 4 cups water. 
In a large skillet with olive oil, saute onion and garlic until soft. Add in rosemary. Add veal and cook until no longer pink. If you are using a slow cooker, add the meat to the slow cooker. Add the broth and the tomato paste to the pan and simmer. Then add to slow cooker and cover on low for 4 hrs. 
Steam asparagus and peas and add to the meat. It adds beautiful color and is full of taste.
Serve over noodles.

Dessert- Mixed berries
