Tuesday - today was a challenge, we had a work lunch at a fabulous Italian Bistro with a "fixed" group lunch menu. I still think I did a great job resisting the creamy pasta choices!

L - Lunch at Italian Bistro - 2 small pieces of white bread dipped in marinara (was so hungry, should have passed on the bread), spinach salad with sugared walnuts, jicama, carrots and grape tomatoes, tossed with raspberry walnut vinaigrette, bowl of lentil soup (skipped the less diet-friendly entree choices!), 3 bites of tiaramasu, 3 bites of chocolate mousse, coffee with splash of cream
S - 100 calorie no sugar added cocoa
S - orange
S - cut up veggies - celery, baby carrots, grape tomatoes, red pepper strips

Way to resist those creamy pasta choices, Glory! That takes willpower!

Megan - they were from a cooking light recipe, they're kind of Moroccan-style. Actually making them was kind of a disaster -- they say to use a grill pan and cook 6 minutes each side, so I pulled out the grill pan. But it didn't say what heat to use, so I just set it to medium high. After six minutes on each side, the outside was black and the inside was raw, and my whole house was filling up with smoke! I had two that wouldn't fit on the grill pan so I stuck them under the broiler and it worked much better. I think from now on unless I'm just searing something I'll use my broiler!

Thanks for the recipe, Jessica. It sounds yummy, but I will have to make it when BF's not around. He will eat almost anything I cook, but is more the meat-and-potatoes (and salad! he LOVES veggies and Ranch!) type.
