I've Been Distracted
Between the marketing of my new card line and the beginning of the much-anticipated Casey Anthony trial here in Florida, I've neglected my blog. And, as far as eating has been concerned, I've been doing a lot of pre-made food like deli roasted chicken, salads, a Subway sandwich, and frozen leftovers. And, one night we went out for an ice cream.
But, tonight I got back on track and made a lovely meal. Plus, I got my butt out of the house and got some groceries. I always do better when there's planned meals in the house.
Through it all, I'm pleased to say that I didn't totally blow it! Other than the ice cream, our meals were within reason but I didn't balance them as well as I should have. And, I skipped a lot of snacks and made up for it by eating a little more at lunch and dinner. Not the best way to loose weight, but it could have been worse. We'll see what happens with the scale on Friday.
Breakfast - Fruit smoothie; then 20 minutes later I had some cereal.
AM Snack - Skipped
Lunch - The last of the tomato soup and a spinach salad.
PM Snack - Skipped
Dinner - Thick, pan-fried pork chops in a little EVOO topped with Wild Mushroom Sauce (SS web site) and organic canned beans. The sauce was absolutely wonderful. And, if you like mushrooms you'll love the addition of this topping.
I've never thought about eating mushrooms with pork as it's more common to pair them with beef. But, this dish was amazing because the sauce took a protein that tends to be a little dry and elevated it to something spectacular.
In fact, I doubled the sauce recipe . . . because I made enough pork chops for two meals ... but found it hard not to eat it all in one sitting. Both my hubby and I were wanting more! Thanks Suzanne for this wonderful suggestion.
