Here's the Vegetable Soup Recipe that I plan to use. I got it from Weight Watchers when I did that program a couple of years ago:
2/3 cup sliced carrot
1/2 cup diced onion
3 cups fat-free broth (beef, chicken or vegetable)
1 1/2 cups diced green cabbage
1/2 cup green beans
1 tbsp tomato paste
1/2 tsp dried basil
1/4 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup diced zucchini
Spray a large saucepan with nonstick cooking spray, heat. Saute the carrot, onion, and garlic over low heat until softened, about 5 minutes. Add broth, cabbage, beans, tomato poaste, basil, oregano, and salt; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, about 15 minutes or until beans are tender. Stir in the zucchini and heat for 3-4 minutes. Serve hot.

This all sounds great. I just got my grocery shopping done for the week and hope to do well this week. I might steal some of your menu ideas...
So we had that spinach-strawberry salad tonight, with the lemon dressing, and it was really good. At least, I enjoyed it. As a side note, I did not put poppyseeds in my salad dressing--I don't know for sure, but I don't think they add any flavor to it, and I see them as a waste of effort. Anyway, it was good.
Oh, and we had the fish tonight, too. I got some pre-packaged tilapia fillets that came with a spicy coating on them, and we really liked them.
