Tonight, I had great plans to have baked beans to highlight the fresh and cheap veggies, corn on the cob and cabbage. What I wasn't planning on, but am learning to pay attention to was the high fiber content. In the beginning, I was only imagining what would go well together and would take advantage of the seasonal items. Then, I decided to do a fiber count. But first, let's see what it cost us.

Last week at work went better than I had planned, but there was enough going on that I really appreciated the light dinner ideas I has scheduled during last week's post. The only change I made was to have Mexican Pizza on Friday night instead of the Egg Fu Yung, which means I have at least one meal already planned for this coming week! It's kind of like a roll-over.

Just in time for a Labor Day feast, we acquired some fresh corn on the cob and a recipe from foodnetwork.tv for lime cilantro butter to spread over the corn before wrapping in foil and roasting. The product was wonderful. I think that result was fabulous, even if not exceptionally healthy with the large amount of butter.
