What's for dinner - Thursday!!!!!!!!!

 Three. More. DAYS!!!!

I am so excited. I get my babiesbackbabiesbackbabiesback!!!!

Trying to contain myself.

Ok. Tonight is the gym. Then home to...???

I probably need to clean. I'm not so into cleaning lately. I mean my house isn't disgusting. Just...untidy.

Anyhoo...dinner. Peanut curry veggies and salt fish. I'll have Greek yogurt before the gym, a Click later on this evening. 

Here's what else I had today:

1. Protein Frappe
2. Subway cold cut combo on wheat
3. A handful of wasabi roasted peas
4. Grape tomatoes with lowfat parmesan peppercorn dressing

What's on your plate today?

I just ate some delicious baked chicken!  I will probably have more later on.

I had a chike iced coffee
turkey chili, wedge of laughing cow
cheese majic pop
and for dinner
roast pork tenderloin and green salad

I haven't been into eating today.  I stretched my protein shake over about four hours...

Dinner tonight will be leftovers of what I concocted last night-- I have a ton of leftovers.  I blended frozen creamed spinach and mixed it with fat free ricotta.  Then I topped it with a dollop of low sugar marinara sauce and a dollop of Parmesan.  When you nuke it for a bit, you get a very satisfying puree-stage meal!

Today's other eats include the protein shake and some leftover blended canned chicken + condensed broccoli-cheese soup + fat free Greek yogurt.  (That might not sound appetizing, but it was actually pretty tasty!)

I'm feeling pretty good today.  I've been taking the bus home from the train station.  I may just walk today.

I'm making Leftover Soup. Basically, just plucking various stuff that's been sitting around, throwing it in a pot, and calling it good. I found a packet of dry broccoli cheddar soup mix leftover from my new post-op days, so I threw that in with a bag of frozen broccoli, cauli, and carrots, as well as the last of my meatballs, the last handful of ravioli in the freezer, and a can of black beans. It's sort of like a weird minestrone/italian wedding hybrid frankensoup. Whatever.


It's storming like nuts over here. Thunder, lightning, trees bent over, lights flickering, candles-burning-in-case-the-power-dies kinda storm. Ahhhh. After three months of massive drought, we need the rain.

I call that "refrigerator soup" and some of my very best soups have been made from lots of leftovers! My family loves it!

I had it lookin' all amazing, and then I turned the burner off under the pot to let it thicken. 10 minutes later, I smelled burning, went to go check, and I'd turned the stupid burner to high accidentally, not off.

Fortunately, it wasn't burnt, I caught it in time, but it's definitely a refrigerator casserole now, not a soup. Oh well. Still delicious. :)

Yum! Made my husband macaroni and cheese for dinner, so I got a little creative with my own.

I made a blanched broccoli and tomato salad dressed with a tsp. of olive oil, squeeze of lemon juice, and 1 tsp. parmesan cheese. With that I'm having 1/3 cup of leftover baked beans sauteed with 2 chopped slices of canadian bacon and red onion. I also took 1/4 cup of the mac and cheese, because it's delicious and a that little bit hits the spot.

Nik, I'm seriously craving Subway! Not for a while though, I know!

Today...I forgot my breakfast.
Lunch: chicken salad w/ ff mayo, some cheese and dill relish
Dinner: taco meat (ground pork w/ taco seasoning & can of Campbell's cheese soup) with some cheese sprinkled on.

I'm still on "pureed" foods and these things seem to go down well.

It's been a long day and I really didn't want to cook but I did...I made Italian sausage stuffed zucchini. It's cooling off now and waiting for us to dig in!
