Not sure: the RG is cooking.

We went out for lunch at a favorite restaurant. Had lentil soup, nachos, and he had fish tacos and I had a crispy chicken sammich. Two bottles of wine (we didn't finish both, though, but sampled the two). Rice pudding for dessert.

1. Braised carrots with parmesan, steamed broccoli, leftover

speckled butter beans, salad.

2. Chicken Parm meatballs in marinara sauce

over zoodles for me, whole wheat pasta for the rest of the family and salad w/ oil/vinegar dressing. If we do anything for dessert, it will probably be to finish off the strawberries, pink grapefruit, bananas and fresh pineapple I have diced up in the fridge.

The Chicken Parm meatballs are a Pinterest recipe I thought looked intriguing.

3. Ground turkey nachos.

4. Baked Grecian chicken.

Brussels sprouts.

5. Carne asada tacos

on corn tortillas. With roasted jalapenos, and pico de gallo. I'm going to skip the rice and beans, and just fill up on the finger food.



Edit: Oh yeah, some mango for dessert to cool the engines...

6. On strike here...

it was 91 today and I have puppies. I don't have the energy to think about what the other humans in the house eat so they are all on their own. I grab a snack between puppy play times/feed times/potty times/sleep times and snuggle times. Tired but happy. Can you tell they are asleep at the moment?

8. mmm I love rice pudding

Haven't had any for years and years. The carbs...


Very hot weekend coming up here. 100 degrees!!

I have laid down the plan for summer eating. Dinners are going to be either salads, sandwiches, or skillets. Nothing that uses the oven. (And we don't have space for an outdoor grill.)

Lunches are going to be "plates". Sliced cheese, fruits, crudites, whole grain crackers, pickles, hummus, etc.

SOMEBODY has gotten in the habit of getting a frozen lean cuisine for lunch, and that's going to end. LOL. (Not me.)

10. sounds like a plan

I avoid the oven in warmer weather, too. There are so many options that it really isn't much of a problem.

I even take my slow cooker outdoors when I use it!

Oh yeah, I've been blowing it with the carbs lately, but I'll be back on plan soon. I prefer that type of menu anyway, and don't really like bread anymore.

However, the other day at the Korean greengrocer I saw a bag of what was called low-glycemic rice. Curious about that.
