Better late than never. What was/is for dinner?

My West Coast peeps may not have eaten yet so maybe I'm not as late as I am :)

For me...oh. My. GOD!!!

So long story short: My church has a women/children's shelter with an outreach component that places women in homes. Part of this program offers skills classes to get jobs. One of those classes is a culinary arts program that qualifies women to work in commercial kitchens. Every time a class graduates they make a SLAMMIN' dinner for Wednesday supper and tonight they outdid themselves. Check out the menu:

Crab Dip
Grilled Chicken
Veggie Tray (asparagus, artichokes, cherry tomatoes, tri-colored peppers, fancy green beans)
Beef barbecue
Pork barbecue
Rolls (did not partake but they looked nummy)
Crostinis (did partake and they WERE nummy)
Key Lime fluff with cinnamon/sugar tortilla crisps (I'm going to figure out how to make that shizz WLS friendly...tortillas and all)
Chocolate Cake
Seasonal Fruit
Cheese Tray

I ate a bit of everything except the desserts. I need to make me some crab dip. There's a recipe on Bariatric Foodie that Jen posted a while back. I may need to re-visit it.

Now...four hours later...I am sipping on a protein iced mocha. And finding myself hard pressed to fini**** but I NEED that protein. The rest of my day wasn't bad though:

1. PB Oatmeal
2. Subway Club salad w/ FF Italian dressing
3. Atkins Chocolate Peanut Butter Bar
4. Church Dinner
5. Protein coffee

So...what's on your plate tonight? And how was your eating day?

How do you do your protein iced mocha? Not much sounds too good to me lately but that, as most of your things, struck me!

Oh it's simple.

I put 1 scoop of chocolate protein with 1 tbsp coffee and a boatload of Splenda (I used instant decaf espresso actually) and combine with 1 oz. room temp water and make a smooth paste.

I boil some water and add it a little at a time (about 3/4 cup) and stir until it is all smooth. Then I add a bunch of ice and a little spash of skim.

I use Pure Protein powder so I don't need additional cocoa or anything. YUM.

Thank you! I think this will be my morning experiment!

I need instant decaf esspresso! What brand & store?
Please say.

Here's where I get mine. They might have a website where you can search for where to find it in stores:

what is the nutritional content of your coffee? how much protein do you get in from it?  I am looking for ways to get more protein and this really appeals to me!  Thanks!

Coffee, Splenda and water have no calories, so the nutritional content is rests solely in what is in your protein powder. Mine was 140 calories, 25g of protein.

 I'm making cauliflower pizza for dinner, probably protein pudding for dessert.

Yesterday I started on pureed foods so today my menu was like this -

B - 1.5oz pureed chicken breast

S - Light FF strawberry banana yogurt

L - 1.5 oz pureed chicken breast

S - 2oz cottage cheese with pineapple

D - 1.5 oz pureed chicken breast

S - Iced coffee concotion.  (8oz instant decaf, chilled.  1 scoop Bariatric Fusion French Vanilla protein powder, couple squirts of DaVinci Hazelnut SF syrup)

That put me at 65g of protein for the day, which is the most I have gotten so far (without drinking shakes all day long..... bleh... )

Tomorrow I will try to change it up, and do some ground bison (pureed of course) or venison if I get off my lazy butt and defrost it!
