A few recipes....

Soooo bad me... The weekend came and I forgot to blog lol.... But I do have 2 new things that we tried, the other days we cheated and went out to eat, lol.....

First was salmon and steamed califlower....

I put salmon in some aluminum foil with lemon juice salt paper and bake it in the oven at 350 for about 13 min(temp should be at 135) steam some califlower on the stove top....when its done sprinkle a little salt and tiny bit of butter(or I can't belive it's not butter, lol) and viola dinner is ready in less then 30 min and the kiddos LOVED it.... And it was about 185 calories.....

Sorry no pics today I am posting from my phone ;)

Tonight I got lazy and made eggs!! Lol

We minced onions, mushrooms, tomatoes, then scrambled egg whites, salt, paper and a hint of galic.....the kiddos once again, LOVED it.... I made them 10 egg whites and they asked for more :) and the dinner was about 60 calories :)

All in all the new recipes are working magic.... I have lost 10.9 pounds since Ben left on Monday!!! Tomorrow we are making taco salad with ground turkey... Yummy lol...

So tonight’s food was YUMMY, even the kiddos loved it….

We had Chicken with mushrooms, salad, steamed broccoli and the kiddos had mac and cheese…
First bake boneless skinless chicken breast with green pepper and opinion with a little seasoning salt at 350, make sure you cover it so it steams…cook until the breast is 180 degrees….

While the chicken is cooking make your salad…
Cut up a 2 cups of spinach(you can add in some hearts of romaine if you are not fond of the spinach)..

Mix in some very small minced white onion(they add a great bite) and green pepper…
Then drizzle 1 teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil and one tablespoon of red wine vinegar…
Next when the chicken is done take it out and let it cool…..

While it is cooling get a frying pan add a little water, garlic, salt and pepper to mushrooms, sauté them until golden brown, not to long though or they will lose the nutrients….
At the same time steam some fresh broccoli……
And tada,…..dinner…

The kiddos loved it and PS they didn’t eat the mac and cheese, they ate the broccoli and salad like crazy, lol…
And all of it was about 200 calories and so yummy!!!

All mixed together....

And that's as far as i got, lmao......i got side tracked by the kiddos and forgot to take any more pics(and you will notice i am a day late, lol)..

ANY who...it was NOT good...evidently i do NOT like Marsala, which was a big part of the meal, however the kiddos LOVED it!!! it was a whooping 350 calories( unless it was me who only ate the steak...lol)


Will add today's later tonight :)

A new start........

So I have decided that while Ben is gone I am going to start doing all the things I loved to do before. Which include cooking and blogging….it has been a long time since I have done both, lol

So I am going to try a new recipe for every night Ben is gone, and every recipe we choose were 500 calories or less…..….Tonight was Lacie’s choice which was stake salad and stuffed red peppers and 445 calories….

Here is everything before the start…………..

Here is a picture of what the stake is supposed to look like, lol

And what the stuffed peppers should look like….
