So...what's for dinner?
I made the yummiest beef that just BEGS to be a French dip sandwich (for the divas).
It was SO easy I don't even count it as a recipe. Get the cheapest toughest kind of beef roast you can find (for the cheap factor, not the taste). Sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper, and put a little oil in a pan and sear both sides. Throw THAT in your crock pot with an envelope of onion soup mix and 2 cups of water and let it go. I actually went out for about 7 hours so when I came back...what was waiting for me was...simply heaven. Tender...juicy...even the 'wannabe vegetarian" loved it (and asked for a taste...dunno what that means...).
So the girls will have that on crusty french bread with au jus and a salad. I'll have me some beef and cheese and I'll probably dip mine in the au jus (although I have been known to just drink the stuff...I'm just sayin) and...not sure. Maybe some Greek yogurt for dessert. I dunno! Something!
Here's what else I had today:
1. A slice of WW bread with 1 tbsp PB
2. Click Frapp
Um...that's it. I skipped lunch. Now it's too late...
It's ok though. I'll treat myself to a shake later on to make up the protein difference.
ETA: Ok, I just hadda share how the sammies came out. I am a food blogger. I take pics of food! I had beef, cheese, jus and some Greek yogurt but lookit what the divas got:
Oh to be a non-op again...

My eats were not so good today.
Lots of herbal tea
Too many Ritz Crackers
Chobani w/ SF Apricot Preserves (thanks for the idea, Nik!)
Making chicken piccata, squash casserole, and roasted garlic & olive oil quinoa.
Hoping to head to the gym as soon as hubby gets home..missed my run this morning because I was up with a sick babe all night and didn't get to bed til almost 4am.

Mmmm, that sounds amazing. I love a good roast beef.
I went and bought a round roast yesterday because they had it marked down to 25% (about to expire, I assume) so I figured I'd take it home and freeze it and roast it up for my first foray into solid foods in about a month.
Except I overlooked the bag it was in and accidentally left it in my car overnight. And it was nice and warm yesterday. When I realized it was missing, I ran out and got it, but it had already turned all brown-gray. So my $12 roast is now rotting in my trashcan.
Dinner tonight will be leftover broccoli soup and tuna from McAlister's. Mmm!

For dinner I have an Albacore steak "mesquite grilled" flavor, and steamed veggies.
B- turkey pepperoni and laughing cow cheese
L - Nik's Mexican Lasagna and steamed cabbage
S - cottage cheese, strawberry, Fiber One "twigs"
maybe some turkey pepperoni / laughing cow or almonds and cheese
I was supposed to go back to karate again tonight, but it was SLAMMED at work and I just couldn't justify adding an extra half hour to my lunch (boss knows, and that is why they agree to it, they trust my judgement)
