Lunch today was eaten in a hurry and without lettuce, so I guess it was just Shrimp Paella, minus the salad. Oops. It was pretty tasty, even though I had to eat my lunch at 2pm (I was so hungry by then, but my day was busy!) in approximately 30 seconds. Despite eating lunch on the later end, I was STARVING by the end of the day, so when I came home I had some pecans and
Mott's Summer Strawberry Applesauce before cooking dinner.
Dinner tonight was
Baked Fish Packets with Chinese Parsley Paste. I mixed veggies and cod, wrapped them in tin foil and baked for 15-ish minutes. I didn't have and radishes, and I don't like radishes (so I didn't want to buy any at the grocery store this week), so I used red onion instead. While the mixture baked, I made the Parsley Paste. Problem #1: I don't own a blender - so I just chopped up everything very finely and mixed it. Overall, this recipe was... somewhat boring, I suppose. Definitely not bad, had a nice enough flavor from the parsley paste... but nothing to rave about.
While I was waiting for dinner to bake, I put together lunch for tomorrow -
Salsa-Shrimp Tacos. I used fresh green peppers instead of frozen, since I had some. I will have to let you know how this recipe turns out - it's so simple! Makes me think it'll also be nothing special, but we'll find out tomorrow. I snapped a picture of just the filling, since I probably won't remember to take one of the taco put together at lunch tomorrow:
Exercise this morning didn't happen. Despite having woken up early Monday and having a full day, I stayed up late and had a lot of trouble falling asleep. I'm going to try and go to bed right after the Celtics game tonight, and will set my alarm for a reasonably early hour and try to do a Jillian DVD tomorrow again - we'll see. M and I decided to run on Thursday instead of Wednesday - our options were "75 degrees, 99% humidity, 30% chance of thunderstorms" or "75 degrees, 99% humidity, 30% chance of rain showers." We've opted for potential rain.
After my less than thrilling dinner, I'm definitely still hungry - what's that about?!? I'm craving TCBY, or some sort of ice cream. TCBY is too far away to run out for tonight - and probably closed 2 minutes ago. There's a chance I'll cave and have a Cookout Milkshake, but I'm trying to talk myself out of that since I had one on Saturday! I might make myself some s'mores: I have chocolate chips, mini marshmallows, and graham crackers in the pantry. Or, I could just have a cup of hot chocolate to ease the sugar craving. What are your favorite (healthy-ish) snacks when you are craving something sweet?
Mmmmm milkshake. I now want one. At 9:40 in the morning.
ReplyDeleteNot gonna lie, I am a big fan of the single serving ice creams you can buy. Yes, it's still ice cream, but they come in those tiny containers and once I have one, I can stop. Unlike if I have a tub of ice cream and will sit the thing in front of me and just go to town.
When I'm trying to eat better, I'll have a candy cane for a treat. I don't know if its any better, but that's what I do.
And of course when I am actually really trying to eat better, strawberries and cool whip.
