Hi all,
Checking in late. Trying to cram to much into the last day of holiday vacation!
to all the new people.
Todays menu looked like this-Breakfast was 1 c. tuna salad,1c. romaine lettuce and 2 small tomatoes.(bigger than a golf ball smaller than a baseball). It was a late breakfast so went right to an early dinner. Dinner was a large mexican salad.
It was about 2 c. romaine topped with 3 med. dollops of refried beans, machca beef,(recipe below) tomatoes,gaucamole,lite sour cream, 2% schredded cheese, and homemade salsa. WAAAAAYYYY good.
BIL thought there was noway that could be on my DIET. Told him I'm not on a diet but on a change for life!! Skipped the ice cream and my sister was surprised. Don't know why I have talked to her about what is going on. I have just enough sf jello left if the girls will leave it alone for dessert.
Tomorrow is planned-
Breakfast-mushroom,bell pepper,onion omelet topped with salsa
snack-celery with hummus(gonna try a new flavor. Liked the 3 spicy pepper one)
Lunch-salad with broccoli,cucumber,egg,cheese,mushrooms,and onions Not sure if I will use a dressing or more salsa!
snack-pistachios(30 I know)
Dinner-Uh oh!! will have to figure that one out. Have alot of the right meats just have to figure what it is going to be.
Dessert is in the same boat as dinner!!
Let's see how close I come to plan tomorrow!
machca-this recipe is for a family of 6 with some(not much) left overs.
4 lbs round steak trimmed
med. onion(I use yellow) diced small
6 to 7 clovers of garlic minced(we like)
1 sm. can of green chilis
1 14-15 oz. can of diced tomatoes( I likerotel because it gives it a little spice up without the kids dying)
Spray crockpot with pam put meat in, top with everything else. Low for 6 hours or until meat can be pulled apart. Pull apart meat and return to juice. DH and kids like to eat burrito style,I put mine on a bed of lettuce and top with gaucamole, sour cream, cheese, tomatoes,olives, refried beans,and salsa!
If you want to make it really spicy sub. the sm. can of chilis for a sm. can of jalapenos. DH,DS'sand I like the spicy spicy so we do this sometimes and leave the DD's to cheese crisp. Also I have used roast,london broil instead of round steak but that is usually what we have.
Love it! Brother takes the left over juice and uses that to cook rice in. Maybe when I am out of phase one that will be a meal #2 from the same pot.
I am going to try to check in tomorrow a.m. before we run out the door otherwise I will see you tomorrow afternoon!!
