I love tamale pie!! Well, at least I did pre-op. I usually make it with a filling of a taco-type seasoned meat. I might have to try it with chili...sounds good.

Hi Suz - Glad to remind you of the sushi. I used to love it b/4 surgery as well and now I started to dabble with it again. here's my eats for monday - it was a bad day, was in a super long, frustrating meeting that set me off for the rest of the day coffee on the bus B - vanilla creme south beach bar - 19P L - lettuce , tomato, meat from inside 1/4 of italian here, 1 small bag of lays potato chips - I have not done that since b/4 surgery. 10P?

Well, Marta... on the positive side the protein bar at breakfast and the snack were really good choices! Even the chili was a good choice.

Michele

Mmmm...hummus! That sounds really yummy...we used to eat a lot of that with baked pita chips before I had surgery. It always sounds good but I never know what in the heck to do with it other than slap it on a sandwich (but I don't eat bread anymore ).

ok I suck with food and eating so I hope this makes me accountable... Breakfast - Sf cinnamon dolce latte & shared about 1/2 pumpkin cream cheese muffin with my daughter Lunch- oops I forgot that one, oh wait 1/2 diet pepsi Snack - 1/4 cup trail mix without the M&M's Dinner - pork taco - corn tortilla with pork, cheese and sour cream Snack - homemade iced coffee - NASTY .. tossed it down the drain I did remember to take my vitamins though this is a very typical day for me .. so sad. My husband hates the way I eat!

I just remembered I ate an apple with Peanut butter for lunch! That looks MUCH better!!! LOL

That reminds me...we have some carnitas in the fridge that needs to get eaten...guess the kids and hubby will be having pork tacos tonight for dinner. Thanks for the reminder! It sure sounds good...but I can't seem to eat pork anymore . Is the pumpkin muffin homemade or bought? I would love to find a good recipe to add protein to.
