Yes, it is still too cold for this California girl. But at least there is some rain therefore it is no longer literally freezing in the morning. I don't know how those of you in snow covered areas do it. Just seeing the temperatures back east this week make me cold. That is probably the biggest downside to losing weight, I lost my internal heater. However, there are worse things than being a little cold. Plus it gives me an excuse to buy new coats! :)
Now let's talk food. It's kind of a light week this week. No particular reason it just worked out that way. But next week....Superbowl Weekend....there will be some fun stuff to be eaten. NINERS ARE IN THE SUPERBOWL!!!!!!! The first football game I ever remember watching on tv was the Niner-Miami SuperBowl which the Niners won. I have been a Niner fan ever since. But that is still a week away, on to this week's meals.
Friday: going out to dinner!!!! woop woop no cooking for me
Saturday: Blackened Chicken & Cilantro Lime Quinoa As you may know, my husband detests quinoa so I make him cilantro lime rice. And I also tried red quinoa for the first time this week and it is pretty much the same. I think it has been a month since I last had quinoa and how i have missed it. I will also serve some kind of veggie with this but I wills see what looks fresh. The green beans weren't looking so hot last week, maybe i will make a cucumber salad.
Sunday: from the ever funny parody book 50 Shades of Chicken
Chicken Hash with Sweet Potatoes
serves 4
1.25 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into 1/2 inch cubes
4 TB unsalted butter
1 tsp coarse kosher salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
1 small onion, chopped
1 small green bell pepper, seeded and diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 cups cooked, diced chicken meat
pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
2 scallions, white and green parts sliced, for garnish (optional)
Fried Eggs for serving (optional) **i will poach mine for a healthier alternative
***due to copyright laws i can't post how to make this but buy the book!!! It is awesome!
Monday: Trying a new recipe recommended by my sister: Chicken Enchilada Stuffed Zucchini Boats
Tuesday: Spaghetti form sauce my husband makes and a fresh loaf of my favorite crusty bread. I am thinking of some kind of parmesan flavored bread.
Wednesday: One of my favorite meals that i should feel guilty about but it is so tasty and not bad for you! Skinny Texas Cheese Fries!!!! I will make a side salad for myself and I usually do that for my husband too but he is getting tired of salads. Maybe I will make slider patties and cook one for this dinner and freeze the rest for later use.
Thursday: leftovers
That is it for this week but check back next week. I will be sharing some big news!!!! (and to those family members hoping and wishing, no---
I am not pregnant.)
