Its going to be one of those days. I walked out of the house carrying my blueberries, a nectarine, and a weight watchers meal, and completely forgot about snacks (carrots, popcorn). I need to simply replenish my supply here, I think, so I don't *have* to remember these things.
On the good side, I get to exercise twice today -- walking at lunch, and then after work with the step class. So hopefully I can make up for the bad things I'll do. Like eating a Luna bar on the way to the class and having dinner afterwards. But I think I've got a good idea for dinner, if Kevin can handle getting it started for us. Taco meat made with ground buffalo, and adding in onions and red kidney beans, and tomatoes to flesh it out. Then it can be used as just meat over chips for him, or salad for me. And we can freeze some to use over potatoes next week as a dinner. Or on pizza. Yum!
Tomorrow night will be pasta. There was this vodka cream sauce I saw on FoodTV which I'm going to try to adapt by using fat free half and half. I'm not sure it'll work because of the fat free -- it might break the sauce. But its worth a try. I need to look up the recipe so I've got something definite to go against. But I picked up the crushed tomatoes, and I already have the garlic and shallots and I got the penne pasta. And I checked, we have vodka. The only catch is that if it takes too much cream, I might not be able to make a second batch of ice cream tonight that I wanted to do. I can't make chocolate -- it needs to be vanilla this time because I am totally out of baking cocoa. *sighs*
