I cannot even help it. I'm making that yummy pumpkin bake again. This time, I'm going to be more careful about how much I eat! I haven't been to the store this weekend, so I'm having quiche. There're always eggs, right?

I had a taco salad with lettuce, hamburger, taco seasoning, cheese, sour cream, black olives, and jalapenos. I forgot to make my guacamole and put it on there! Oh well, there's always tomorrow.

I ate too much food. It was all atkins friendly, but the calorie point went way too high. I think it was all this binging talk

Tonight I'm having rotisserie chicken from the deli with zucchini.

Fry a slice or two of bacon until crsip. Sautee peeled, sliced zucchini in olive oil and a little fat from the strip of bacon. Crumble the crisp bacon over the cooked zucchini.

I am making a chicken cacciatorie

Brown 4-6 chicken thighs in olive oil. About 1 minute per side. Remove from pan.

Saute 1 medium sized onion, 2 red peppers, 1 green pepper, 2 cloves of garlic in same pan for about 1 minute. Add a handful of sliced mushrooms and saute for another minute.

Add 1 can diced tomatoes, 1/2 tsp. crushed thyme, 1/4 tsp tumeric and 3/4 cup white wine. Mix together well.

Add chicken back on top of veggies and cover. Place in a 350 degree oven for about 45 minutes. Then remove the lid and turn the heat up to 375 degrees and let cook for 10 more minutes.

Remove from oven. Remove chicken and veggies to a warm bowl. Now place the pot over high heat and boil the sauce to reduce it.

Traditionally you would serve this with noodles ... I opt to eat it on its own.

I had a nice big baked chicken breast with cheese melted on top and some salsa. It was yummy!

What a treat! Dinner at Ruth's Chris is always amazing. I ordered:
a 6 oz. filet with a lobster tail topper
a Caesar salad
creamed spinach
water with lots of lime

Delicious!

Dessert: Dark chocolate "Expresso Sin Cake" - I didn't fall off the wagon; I jumped off! Brought it home and savored it later. Amazing! I'm willing to pay for the weight gain and the sugar cravings that will surely follow. So be it.

I breaded boneless pork chops with parm and italian seasoning and fried them in a bit of oil. I tossed some asparagus in the leftover oil and roasted them in the oven. SO GOOD.

I think I'll make my own version of a KFC double down with the leftovers and a slice of swiss for lunch tomorrow .

[StephanieM]

Val, it's now available in Canada! They are really pushing it over here... I would try the grilled version.

I thought it was ridiculous when I first heard of it, but now that I'm on Atkins it seems like an idea haha.

Excellent dinner...I ordered:

roasted red pepper & crab bisque (some of the best I've ever eaten)
Crab cakes with lemon butter sauce
sauteed spinach
sauteed asparagus
diet coke

If you live on the SE NC coast, make this a stop the next time you're in Wilmington.

I had a mini peanut butter cup today, 8 carbs. I savoured the **** out of it. I'm prepared to face the consequences.

I saw a report on the new KFC sandwich "Double Down" ..... it doesn't appeal to me personally but I guess it must have an audience for it to still be available. Its only available in Canada til sometime in November.

They did a comparison with some other fast food burgers and it actually, in terms of calories, fat and sodium content, comes out ahead of others.

I probably live in the only city where the KFC went out of business.

I made the pumpkin bake/custard but substituted greek yogurt for cream cheese as i was out. It made it slightly higher carb. And gave it a weird aftertaste. Do not recommend.

[sandyfanny]

I'm having a spinach salad with bacon, cucumber, and red onion topped with a crab cake and homemade honey mustard dressing. YUM!
