Dinner last night?

ahh-maahhz-ing. Said like Penny from Happy Endings - what? you don't know that show or how she says it? Sorry for you, but it's hilar.

Our pork sammies ended up to be delish. Even the baby ate almost an entire half of a shredded pork on a hoagie bun sammie. We did have to put extra BBQ sauce on there, but I'm proud to say that this week I've tried a few new recipes and they've all turned out to be keepers! Even the leftover broccoli, onion combo meal turned into a pretty badass breakfast today! I scrambled an egg and put it in with the leftovers, brought it to work, warmed it after I finished my coffee and felt like I was having a sinful breakfast, but really it was a veggie delight. I took out the leftover beef strips and threw them to the dogs. Lit-rally.

Today's food log is as follows:

Breakfast - above detailed ah-mahhh-zing veggie scramble.
Morning snack - carrots
Lunch - the hubster george foremaned up some salmon last night for us to enjoy with salad today. He was going to BBQ it, but turns out the unsupervised child at some point turned the gas to "low" and the propane was gone. Super parenting. I took out the last of the pre-portioned lettuce containers and set the salmon next to it to determine what else should go with the salad. Since this was week 1 of healthy eating, I was out of cucumber. So I decided we'd each eat 1 roma tomato (I bought 4 for the week thinking I would eat them all by my lonesome since the hubby claims to hate tomatoes, but he informed me I picked some winners and they weren't all smooshy and slimey - his technical terms - so I would be "allowed" to continue use of said maters). ok, so roma tomatoes, black olives, and that's all he wanted. I threw in some cubed mozzarella for myself. shoot - I had garbanzo beans I could have used too! Anyway - he tossed some cajun seasoning onto his salmon after he took it off of the foreman, but I don't like that shiz, so I sprinkled some sesame seeds onto my salad and some all spice onto the salmon.
Afternoon snack: almonds and yogurt covered pretzels
Dinner: TBD - we're going to his boss' house and I heard mention of wine and pizza.

Yesterday and last night I was really craving snacks. I totally wasn't hungry, but I just felt like munching. I also kept thinking I should get some suckers or something, but then I remembered there is so much sugar there that going that way probably isn't a good choice....I kept popping in pieces of gum but that wasn't helping anything. I did have a few bite sized candy bars yesterday - my warehouse guy brought them to me and I couldn't resist.

I haven't had any wine on Tues, Wed, or Thurs. Tonight I'm going to have a glass or 2, but I'm sure I'll end up driving so my husband can drink - it's usually the other way around, but, it's his boss not mine. I have to make a grocery list today and stick to the $80 I have left over from my budget. remember the $16 to stupid Sprouts?! That + $4 for the baby's lunch at school today. It feels lazy not to pack his lunch, but they offer pizza and fruit for lunch on Fridays only and he LOVES "eeesssaaa" so I feel so conflicted! I let him have pizza today.
