I must give major props to my friend Debbie. Yesterday she had a bunco party at her house and the food looked and smelled amazing! She had a creamed spinach wrapped in Pillsbury dough. She even floured her dough with an oat flour that she ground herself! She also made stuffed bell peppers, hot bean dip(amazing), and corn and quinoa salad. Everything looked so delicious! I was really kicking myself for being on this Fast Track diet! Watching her in the kitchen made me realize a few things. 1. I NEED a Vitamix and 2. I really felt like an inadequate cook. All of her delicious items were completely vegetarian and made with the Vitamix. I can not wait for next Monday I am going to Debbie's and I hope she'll make me a delicious feast! Well, I guess I will help since I want to know how she does it!
It definitely was a rough weekend to get through in the food department. There was a party Friday, Saturday, and Sunday that I mucked through. It was literally hour by hour. But I made it without a cheat, unless you count licking your fingers of the crumbs from your daughter's grilled cheese (I don't but it is a bit pathetic), and this morning I was 6.6 pounds lighter. Cheers to me!
Tonight's dinner was fantastic. I grilled some tilapia with Trader Joe's Lemon Pepper (and I always think of my cousin Katie when I use it), grilled asparagus, cucumbers, and some homemade artichoke tapenade. Oh so delicious especially with my daily allotted glass of red wine! Cheers again.
This afternoon I woke Coco (my daughter) up from her nap and boy was she mad. She informed me that I shouldn't wake her up because she was not done sleeping! I felt horrible but once we arrived at her aunts' volleyball games she was thrilled to play with all the kids. My guilt subsided, a bit.
Enjoy your evening.
