Started out with my 'protein packed' breakfast...two eggs (4pp), a peice of ham (1pp), and a pink grapefruit (0pp). Eating breakfast like this keeps me from being hungry for hours and gives me loads of energy! Honestly, after breakfast I cleaned house, cooked, and did 5 loads of laundry all before 2pm...never needed a break!
Dinner tonight was the Chicken and White Bean Chili. I assembled most of it and put it in my new crockpot so it would be hot and ready for us when we returned from our meeting. When we got home, I chopped the tomato, cilantro, juiced the lime and added the remaining ingredients and left it on high to meld the flavors while I put a quick salad together.
I wish you could smell my kitchen right now. The smell and the flavor were really great - too bad the photos don't tell the real story, but hopefully I'll have a beter camera for photos tomorrow. Grand totals for dinner: Chili (7pp), Salad (0pp) with 1 Tbsp Vidalia Onion Vinegrette (2pp), 2 slices of Italian Bread (4pp) and 1Tbsp Smart Ones Light Spread (1pp)~ ta da: 14pp!! Really filling comfort food. Mmmmm.
Tomorrow's fabulous dinner: Danica's Steak and Shrooms!! We've tried this and loved it, so I'm thrilled to be having it again.
