What's on Your Wednesday Menu, RNYers?

Good morning!  So this week is bike week in Wisconsin so I decided to bike to work this morning.  Not the entire 10 miles, instead I parked my car at a park a couple of miles from downtown and biked from there.  The honest reason I biked this morning... BRATCAKES!!  Its a brat wrapped in a pancake with syrup on it.  OMG!  So good.  I ate a small one with less than a teaspoon of syrup so I'm feeling ok about it. LOL.

Hope everyone has a great one.

I LOVE that flat out pizza!  My kids love it too.  We all do different toppings and I feel like I can do it without killing my plan.

Oh man! I haven't done a Flat Out Pizza in AGES, but I might need to add some Flat Outs to my shopping list and put that back into the rotation - I used to eat them ALL THE TIME when I was like 6 months post op.

Thanks for the reminder of something delicious!

Hello, all! I understand about the promotion thing... I put in for a promotion right before surgery, had to take the assessment for it a week after surgery, interviewed for the job on my 2nd day back to work after surgery and then started the job about 1 month after the interview (government job = slow process). I am now in training that is going to last until mid-July.  Work things like applying for the new job, getting the new job will turn your world topsy-turvy!!  I hope you get the job!!

Also, can I say, I am so jealous that you can find the Barber Farms chicken florentine.  I can only find the ones stuffed with broccoli and cheese, which are okay but not my favorite. But the florentine... I used to get a Fish Florentine from Lean Cuisine in the early 80s that was to die for. I want something florentine!!! LOL... maybe I should just buy some spinach and experiment!

Anyway, my menu today:

B1: Tea and truvia

B2: Roasted zucchini with evo (last of it... love this!)

L: Wendy's small chili (figured out how to get it in... but its 2 days old, hope it doesn't kill me)

S: 1 oz teriyaki beef jerky

D: 3 oz shrimp cooked with a little butter and teriyaki

S: Frozen strawberry vanilla protein shake

I love spinach, and am also lazy.  LOL 

I haven't made this Florentine recipe in a while, but it's super easy and delish.  The stats are on point, too!:

Baked Chicken Florentine

3/4 cup dry bread crumbs
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
3 whole chicken breasts, skinned, boned and split
1/2 cup sliced green onion
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup milk
1 10-ounce package frozen chopped spinach, thawed

1. Combine breadcrumbs and cheese. Dip chicken breast halves in crumb mixture to coat lightly. Arrange in baking dish.

2. In a saucepan, cook onion in butter until tender. Blend in flour. Stir in milk all at once. Cook and stir until thick and bubbly. Cook and stir 1 minute more. Stir in spinach. Spoon spinach mixture over chicken and sprinkle with rest of crumb mixture.

3. Bake uncovered at 350º F for 40-45 minutes.
