7-18 food

Here's my lunch and then snack, yes they are pretty much identical b/c I'm lazy lol.  Grilled chicken with half a sweet potato and string beans with a little organic butter.

Then for dinner I had a cheeseburger with no bun.  Again, not ideal, but I got home from work 2 hours late and that's what I got - a cold burger.  fun times.

Dinner

Tonight's dinner was my usual chicken fajitas without a wrap.

Last nights dinner and todays lunch

 

I used this recipe: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/giada-de-laurentiis/chicken-cacciatore-recipe/index.html  except I only used a teeny tiny bit of brown rice flour instead of regular flour.  You can make it without too.  It came out good.  It wasn't really our flavor meal.  In my opinion it took too long to make for what it is. 

Dinner

5 oz of chicken that the husband had marinated in bbq (I drained almost all off)
21 asparagus spears
1 tbsp organic pasture raised butter
This totals about 298 calories, 40g protein, 12 g fat, and 9 grams carbohydrates.
This brings my totals for the day at 1304 calories, 123 g protein, 75 g fat, 30 g carbs.

Dinner

I ate my lunch and snack as planned.  I couldn't finish the lunch though as I wasn't that hungry.  

Dinner

• 1 cup of stir fry veggies (broccoli, green beans, carrots, mushrooms, onions, red peppers
• 3 oz shrimp
• 2 oz scallops
• I'm assuming about .25 TBSP of sesame oil was in there and 1/3 TBSP soy sauce - my husband cooked up the stir fry with a little of each for the whole pan
• I then added 1 TBSP EVOO on top since I was short on my fats
• Totals: 321 calories, 29 grams protein, 19 grams fat, 11 grams carbohydrates

This brings my total for the day to:

1354 calories, 120 grams of protein, 80 grams of fat, and 38 grams of carbohydrates

and I'm still working on drinking more water.

Dinner

Tonight's dinner was chicken fajitas without the tortillas. Chicken, onions, red, green, and yellow bell pepper, lots of spices, organic sharp cheddar, hot salsa, and a little sour cream.
I'm still feeling really sick, and I'm exhausted so I'm about to drink an herbal tea that's supposed to help with colds and then I'm going to sleep.

Dinner

Breadless meatballs, I wound up having 2 more than the picture.

Dinner

Salmon marinated with dijon, soy sauce, evoo, and garlic with asparagus with a little org butter and garlic.

Dinner

I'm out at a buffet work dinner, but I still managed to find some meat and veggies. This was all very oily and gave me a bit of a stomachache. Slice of turkey, shrimp and squid, a piece of fresh mozzarella, roasted red pepper, yellow pepper, portabella mushrooms, string beans and onions.

I wound up leaving about 1/4 or so of this uneaten because I couldnt finish it all.

Dinner

Veal cutlet cooked with olive oil and salt + pepper and topped with a mushroom, organic butter, garlic, parsley, and white wine sauce. I also had a glass of cabernet. It was a LOOONG day today.

Bad Eating Day For Me Today...Almost No Veggies

I had very little time for myself today.  For Breakfast, I had about a scoop of chocolate isopure whey protein with a drop of mint extract and had 15 raw almonds.

Lunch was a piece of chicken breast seasoned with red pepper, cumin & garlic and a little less than half an avocado.

Dinner was a Turkey leg...I was salivating over this for some reason tonight.


 I got a crockpot of chilli cooking for lunches for the week...and that turkey leg came off of  a 14 lbs bird that I cooked to also have leftovers for meals during the week.

Breadless Meatballs & Sauce

This was my first attempt at making pasta sauce and breadless meatballs.  And, it came out AMAZING!

First, add about 1/4 a cup of extra virgin olive oil to a large pot and then add about 3/4 - 1 cup of chopped onion and 5 TBSP garlic (we LOVE garlic so you can add less if you want).  Simmer.

Then I added 2 jars of tomatoes, one was plum tomatoes and one a regular jar (you could use 2 cans of whole tomatoes), about 2 tsp of salt, 1 tsp organic honey, a bay leaf.  and cook for 1/2 to 2 hours on low heat.

Then begin preparing the meatballs.  I began the same way by adding about 1 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil to a frying pan and adding in about 1/4 cup of onions and about 2-3 tbsp garlic. 

I added 2 omega 3 eggs, and 1 cup of grated cheese (like you put on pasta) to a bowl.

Then I added the contents of the frying pan and about 2 pounds of extra lean ground beef.  I also added salt, basil and oregano. 

Then I mixed it all up to a uniform consistency and formed balls.

Then I again added about 1 TBSP to the frying pan and fried the meatballs on all sides.

Then back to the sauce:  I added a can of tomato paste, dried basil (this was also from my garden), oregano, & pepper.  I also dumped in all the meatballs.

I then cooked on very low heat for several hours.  It needs at least 30 minutes, but the longer the better,  just keep the heat really low and keep stirring to not burn the bottom. 

Last night and breakfast

Well last night went down hill, let's just say I was starting a new position and had my babysitter show up with my kids causing a scene and cause damage to my car. I wound up having a tea, a detour bar, and then 2 hard boiled eggs before bed.
Breakfast this morning is 3 o3 eggs, peppers, onions, sundried tomatoes, and a little organic sharp cheddar.
I was also planning on doing some morning cardio but both of my kids were up before 5, so that didn't happen. I'm keeping my fingers crossed I will actually make it to the gym the way things have been going. Oh yeah, I'm also sick with a headache and a sore throat.
Fun times!

Last Night's Dinner

Broil flounder for like 3-5 min on on side flip and coat with paste made from butter, olive oil, garlic, and grated parmesean (amounts don't matter as long as its like a paste), and then broil for 3-5 more minutes. On the side is shrimp stirfry (a frozen stirfry bag for the veggies) cooked in sesame oil. All I have to say is YUM for this meal.

Dinner

I was so full from my lunch I didnt have any snacks until dinner.  The 1/4 of an avocado definitely filled me up more than olive oil!  

Since, I just hit the weights, I allowed myself some carbs.  Tonight's dinner was salmon marinated with dijon mustard, soy sauce, olive oil and garlic.  Asparagus also in evoo and garlic, and the same for the purple potatoes.  This was cooked on the grill.  This was actually too much for me to eat and I left some salmon and a potato on my plate!
