Could probably skip the margarine on the toast if you're adding peanut
butter anyway. Shouldn't need it. Especially if it's natural peanut
butter, margarine will only risk a trans-fat sneaking into your healthy
breakfast.

Swap the hamburger with ground turkey. The difference should hide quite
nicely in both the spaghetti lunch and taco dinner.

I'd also swap the 1% milk for soymilk but apparently that's a taste not
everyone is fond of.

Multi-vitamin?

Certainly I don't mind!! but here's my take.

It isn't natural peanut butter (although I'm looking into that option since
we're running on the ends of the processed stuff). It's also
non-hydrogenated margarine (doesn't everything seem to be now a days?). I
could skip the step that's true, but I find toast dry without margarine
regardless of what I put on it afterwards. Quirky I suppose. Perhaps when
I'm looking into the nitty gritties of my meals I'll attempt that step. Who
knows, I may like it. For now my focus is on eating better, regularly.

We have done the hamburger swap as well as done a hamburger/soy mixture.
We've tried just the soy mixture but it doesn't taste right. Most often the
hamburger is used to flavour the tomato soup that we add as sauce. I don't
plan to have this often, or at the very least have it only as a side dish to
a huge salad. It's not very nutritious and I always seem to be hungry an
hour or two later.

As for the milk. I've tried soy and I just can't get used to the taste. It
tastes almost sour to me. I do LOVE skim though. We had it in the house
for awhile but for the sake of the people who don't like skim and are used
to 2% we comprimised and bought 1%. I'm still gunning to go back to skim
though.

Thanks for the comments!!! They are very helpful and I always try to read
them with an open mind.
