What are you eating today (Saturday) or yesterday?

It's another bright, shiny autumn morning here. And speaking of here, I want to address something that an OH member (who shall go nameless in this thread) has said to me several times. She calls me a hillbilly. Calling a resident of west Tennessee a hillbilly is amusing but inaccurate. There are no mountains or hills in the Mississippi River delta, and I lived in the Northeast for 46 years before moving to Tennessee. So it's time to dream up a new pejorative.

OK, moving right along...I don't have to be at wor****il 3:30 pm today. My cooking project for today is making zucchini chips. You slice the zucchini very thinly using a mandolin, brush the slices with olive oil, sprinkle them with salt (I'm using basil salt that I made from the last of our fresh basil), and bake them at 225F for 2 hours until they're dried out and crisp.

Today's eating plan is:

B: protein latte
S: cheese & zucchini omelet
S: cinnamon protein bread (kind of like a coffee cake)
L: black bean burger, tomato salad
S: almond, craisin & sesame seed snack mix
S: sugar snap peas (raw)
D: smoked turkey & cheese roll-up
S: trail mix
S: coconut blueberry oat breakfast cookie

Got anything fun planned for the weekend? Tell all!

B: protein shake

S: FF refried beans and WW mozzarella stick

S: rice crackers w/ hummus

L: spinach with grilled chicken

S: yogurt

D: grilled tilapia and steamed veggies

S: (if necessary) hot chocolate w/ fluff

exercises: going to get on my treadmill. almost got run over yesterday. that's enough walking around the neighborhood for me since the twits can't slow down and follow the posted speed limits.

I used to prefer walking outdoors because walking on a treadmill is boring, but I gave it up for the exact reason you did. Too many idiots speeding down a winding country lane (with deep ditches on both sides) like it's the Indianapolis 500.

A beautiful day here in Orlando- I am here on vacation with my mom, niece and nephew.  Sticking to a healthy eating plan!

Walked on an incline on treadmill for 30 min.

Jean, just so you know, you can be a hillbilly with out hills. It is much better than being a redneck 'cause there is no cure for that. You know we love you.

B. Protein capucchino

L. Chili

S. Protein ball, protein ball, protein ball. OK, so maybe they weren't such a good idea after all.

D. Lasagna, just a few bites before being full.

S. Finish the shake I have been working on for hours, maybe some popcorn with ranch seasoning and I Can't Believe It's Not Butter spray.

Maybe so, but I'd like to see a demographic study on how many hillbilies graduated from college magn *** laude.

Bet I can guess who you are referring to...... You gave me a chuckle about your zucchini chips.  My brother buys Kale Chips at the health food store and pays $8 for a little bag. So, I tried to make the same one time to prove to him that he could make them for a lot less.  Wrong!!   They burned up like leaves blowing out of a campfire. Of course, my talents in the kitchen leave much to be desired!  I hope they turned out good!

$8 for a little bag?! We've made the kale chips many times, but you do have to keep an eye on them. They go from perfect to burnt in about 10 seconds.

The zucchini chips turned out awesome, but they didn't stay crisp after sitting in an airtight container for a few hours.
