-coffee
-a "protein-and-greens" whey shake thingy, mixed up as I was running out the door to get to work and trying to find my phone and so on
-one of those droolicious clif nectar bars (dark chocolate walnut flavor) for a snack
-more coffee
-brought lunch from home: frozen thawed shrimp with green beans and peppers, drizzled with soy sauce and sesame oil, plus a few slices of mango
-a multigrain english muffin with a schmear of peanut butter for yet another snack because snacks are what make the world go round
-even more coffee
-supper is probably going to be vodka-based and consumed at a bar. but if it's potato vodka that's like having vegetables, right?

O Wawa! Home to the elusive English Toffee crappuccino!

Today's breakfast included a dollop of full-fat Greek yoghurt with a splodge of fig jam & some toasted pistachios. At my desk. I find the dichotomy somewhat entertaining.

[wombat]

MMMMMM pizza.
with -- chicken, artichoke, basil, and sundried tomato. With lime seltzer water.

[mouse]

wawa! wawa wawa wawa!!! oh, pennsylvania! <3

[brett]

I made salmon filets with a sauce made of pesto, roasted garlic puree, lemon juice, and sour cream. Also some rice pilaf with lentils (one of those Near East mixes- it was really good!)

That sounds fabulous! Can I come over for dinner?

What I ate today:

A gigantic iced coffee from Wawa this morning (I was running on 4 hours of sleep and had to open at work)

a couple of crackers with apricot & ginger cream cheese (samples at work)

2 hot dog pigs-in-a-blanket (the husband made dinner)

a few beers (Molson ice)

and some diet coke this afternoon.

SO unhealthy!

[falljackets]

went to the grocery today after work and bought lots of fresh stuff. came home and had a dinner of:

french bread with brie
a steaming baked (ok, micro-baked!) sweet potato drizzled with butter and a touch of cinnamon
and iced peach CIDER. yum.

i know it doesn't sound like much, but you should see what i did to the brie...

[doodlebug]

White potatoes, chopped and roasted with sliced garlic sausage, and with green peas mixed in. And peach iced tea. Mmmmm.

[yuefie]

Mmmm, I had the yummiest southwestern chicken sausage pasta, along with a salad of romaine, toasted pepitas, and cotija cheese w/ cilantro lime vinagrette. The best part is that I made it myself

For dessert we are having slices of juicy, ripe mango and orange wedges with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and chile con limon.

[olhakadirf]

so far today I've eaten
1 venti starbucks mocha frappuccino
1 very large whole wheat chocolate chip cookie
1 kahlua coffe (no likker)
1 more very large whole wheat chocolate chip cookie
5 or 6 pieces of gum ( I have issues with gum )

I could use a carrot
I wonder what my blood sugar is right now?

Hellotampon, I'll post it in the barefoot and precocious thread so this one stays for food reports, not recipes.

I made salmon filets with a sauce made of pesto, roasted garlic puree, lemon juice, and sour cream. Also some rice pilaf with lentils (one of those Near East mixes- it was really good!)

[wombat]

BUCKWHEAT SOBA pasta. The darker the better. So good. and healthy too.

The last thing I cooked was : Spicy tofu from Korean market, my own brown rice, corn from fresh ears that I cooked and shucked the kernels from, and red peppers -- four for a dollar from aforementioned market, with garlic and broccoli, olive oil and hot pepper. Still a little plain, if you ask me.

YOURS sounds divine, bunny b!

[pinkmartyr]

dani- whole wheat pasta is a little better because it is rich in fiber. with something like pasta and pesto, you should absolutely eat what you love, just in moderation and in reasonable portions. if you find at first that you don't care for the taste of whole wheat pasta, try mixing it- half whole wheat, half regular.

today i had:
ricotta mixed with a little sour cream and unsweetened special dark cocoa powder with fresh peach
whole wheat toast with peanut butter

[pollystyrene]

i don't think that's too much. There's this dermatologist, Dr. Perricone (sp? Too lazy to look it up now) who created a diet for people with rosacea and other skin issues and he has this list of "non-inflammatory foods"- the two main staples are salmon and avocado. I've heard it works after just a few days....hmm, I could live on salmon and avocadoes for a few days without any argument!

Whole grain pastas are better than regular pasta- I recommend De Cecco!

[dani837]

Is avocado good for your body? I know it's a "healthy fat", but how much is too much? I ate two in the last week, is that too much?
Also, is whole wheat spaghetti very healthy? Like I'm trying to eat healthier food, and I looooooooove spaghetti with pesto, but I didn't want to gain weight for that, so I bought the whole wheat one. How much better is that one from the normal one??

[mouse]

lentils cooked with onions, curry, cumin, cinnamon, cloves and garlic, fresh artichokes with lemon butter, negra modelo dark ale. mmmmmmm.

who knew i could cook?

[GiGi21]

Our Engagement Dinner:

Sun Dried Tomato Parmesan Pasta
Herbed bread and olive oil
Cesar Salad
Creme Brulee... Delicious!

[jemisoutrageous]

I ate Thai Basil Shrimp with sauteed onions and peppers with brown rice and a salad with chili vinagrette.

Tomorrow I am going to make tilapia fillets with puttenecsa sauce, sauteed greens and whole wheat pasta

[quietmadness]

I made herbed steamed green beans, twice baked potatoes, and grilled tilapia.

MMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

[hellotampon]

Crap. Oh well. But I AM interested in the recipe, Polly.

[mouse]

omg ggg NO i have to try that!

when i was in london a few years back i basically ate nothing but slow roasted lamb and mint potato chips. because, first of all, oh my god delicious, and second of all, how can you resist a potato chip with such an elaborate flavor? not just lamb, but lamb and MINT, and not just regular lamb, but SLOW ROASTED. *homer simpson drool noise* UK busties, do they still make those?

last night i threw together a suprisingly amazingly delicious meal; peppers and onions and mangos and chicken sausage with a little cumin for spice, served with a wild rice mix. yum.
