Butternut Squash Quinoa 

Recipe

And then I made this (x3)

My version of this

Sandwich for Breakfast?

Today I had this yummy goodness on Low Fat Trader Joes wheat bread with blackberry jam. Yum.

Trader Joe's has hands down the best low fat bread, it still tastes and feels awesome not like Arnolds "light" which are airy and lame. I would have taken a pic of my actual sandwich but it was gone before I had the chance... Maybe next time.

Birthday Dinner

Green Beans w/roasted garlic and soy sauce

Homemade dinner for the Hubs bday!

Yikes

Apparently it has been almost 3 months since I last blogged! I think this is due to my most boring food habits that have led to maintaining my weight loss (coffee, banana, cottage cheese, salad, then a dinner- Boring)

So as of this week I have lost another lb! So now that I am 143.5 (!) I plan on getting back into the habit of cooking and eating awesome things again.

And I have a new iphone so picture uploading could be better again!

So for all you (non) readers out there.. I am back!

Chicken Wings!

This week on Monday I weighed in at 145.5 which means I am just .5 lbs away from 145! Which is huge. But when I logged into WW I saw that the ideal weight for someone my height is 131-141. SO my goal has been lowered to 141. Unsure if I will be able to do it because my love for food has taken over again, but I have been consistently losing .5 lbs a week for awhile now so hopefully even with the reintroduction of awesome food back in I will still lose.

Enter Chicken Wings:

I love chicken wings from restaurants but they are always fried which adds tons of points, so I found a recipe online and baked them!

This recipe  was delicious and to avoid pan scrubbing I just used a foil pan and threw it away at the end. Problem solved.

Next time when I make them (possibly tonight for a dinner guest) I will lower the cayenne pepper just a bit!

Oh .. I have a blog?

I don't know where I am at these days.. maybe because  I just live the plan in a boring way and weight kind of drops off I am not as excited about food. Sad day.

BUT this past weekend was amazing and full of food:

Friday night was an awesome BBQ with hamburgers (on a sandwich thin for me), hot dogs (turkey dogs- less fat), and grilled chicken!
Shabbat lunch was a chulent made with brown rice, tomato sauce, potatoes, onions, spices, and a turkey frank. It was pretty lame without meat. Not doing that again. And out guests brought a brown rice salad, roasted veggies, and some other healthy food!

Sat night was a bit of a downfall with a snack of tortilla chips w/melted low fat cheese and salsa. Everyone on WW says that chips are a big no but I find that it is ok once in awhile. The only fail was the pizza outing after.. But I only had 1 slice and a handful of fries.

Sunday at 12: 1 slice french toast, 1 hungry jack pancake made from mix, and a small egg white scrambled w/onions and cheese.
Lunch at 3:30: delicious sushi rolls from Simply Sushi Cafe in Monticello, NY. Highly recomend the Black Dragon. YUM.

After that and an extra ice coffee I knew dinner was out of the question so by Monday I had lost another .5 lbs!

So total lost is now 18.5 and I have been pretty good this week so hopefully will lost another 1 lb by Monday!
