I've always been a bread eater ...that is until I did Atkins in 2003 and lost weight and now that I'm doing it again....no bread! Tonight I cooked some baked chicken, cream-styled corn, and just some little (regular-sized) biscuits from the can for dinner. I only ate the chicken. No salad for me as I had one earlier today and also my appetite just isn't there so chicken it was.
In the past, we always had the Grand sized biscuits...you know, almost as big as your head? LOL! Since I'm no longer eating bread I thought I would just buy the little ones so that they wouldn't go to waste. My daughter who is 12 thought they were hilarious! She had never seen biscuits this size! LOL! My mother usually made homemade biscuits for us when we were kids but sometimes we would have biscuits from the can and they were this size. This is just another example how the portion size has increased since I was a kid. Another reason why our country is fat!
My daughter probably burned off the food she ate this evening jumping around the house. She is no bigger than a minute and very hyper! Wish I had that energy! Once upon a time I was that little skinny mini and now look at me! oh well...I blame myself and those darn portions! Not to mention carbs! But, I'm not gonna withhold breads from her as she is a growing kid who does eat a balanced meal. Oh and did I say active? goodness! if only they could find a way to bottle that energy!
oh those bread portions
