A culinary experiment now dubbed "Yin Yang eggs" ... I made 'em twice this week. The first time, like this, but I scrambled them after the photo. They second time I "fried" them (really just put a lid on the skillet and let them steam themselves. I left the yolk runny the second time and just LOVED the rich yolk taste. I added a bowl of Quaker Oats High Fiber Cinnamon Swirl oatmeal both days, but will be switched back to reduced-sugar instant oatmeal (subtract 50 calories!). 265 calories, 35 carbs, 7 fat grams, 16 grams of protein
Monday's dinner was a grilled lemon pepper fish fillet, cooked green beans and carrots, red pepper "chips" (just chopped red pepper) and salsa, 2/3 cup of milk, and a bowl of fruit for dessert. Oh, and a side of Legal Ethics, of course! 399 calories, 63 carbs, 4 fat grams, 30 grams of protein
I wasn't feeling very creative for last night's dinner, but I'm pretty pleased with the final result. I challenged myself to do a creative take on buffalo wings (super low-cal themselves!) so I made buffalo drumsticks, cream of celery "risotto" and cheese bread (next time I need a bleu cheese element, but I didn't have any in the fridge). 350 calories, 59 carbs, 5 fat grams, 16 grams of protein
This morning's breakfast: A main dish of Legal Ethics (exam tomorrow!), 1 cup egg substitute, green onions, 1/8 cup reduced fat cheese, 1 tbsp Hormel Bacon bits, 2 slices of Wonder Lite wheat bread and a tsp sugar-free preserves. 278 calories, 22 carbs, 3 fat grams, 33 protein
Other meals this week included:
- Pork chops served on a bed of steamed cabbage and raisins
- Tomato Lima Bean Parmigiana from my new bean cookbook (recipe still needs work, and I revamping the leftovers for lunch today)
- Pulled pork tenderloin made from a recipe I got in Taste of Home magazine - SO GOOD!
