Happy Hump Day Menu 9-7-11

I spent several hours in the kitchen today making & jarring salsas, bruschetta, baby food that my picky daughter will actually eat, prepping dinner ahead of time, washing up all the dishes I dirtied, etc.  It was nice though.  I love being in my kitchen.  Today was a pretty quiet day.  The kids and I stayed home all day in our nice air conditioning.  From what I understand it broke 100 degrees in some parts around here, yuck!  Well, the hubs is on-call and still at work, so I better wrap this up quickly and get back to my babies.  They still need baths and all that.  This was today's delicious menu:

Breakfast (12 pts)
ABC egg white omelet, which consists of 1/2 c. carton egg whites, 2 oz of avocado slices, 2 slices of center-cut bacon, reduced fat cheddar cheese, homemade salsa and a dollop of light sour cream.  I also had my usual skim milk/sugar free hazelnut lattes.

Lunch (8 pts)
A very light tuna salad sandwich made with 2 oz chunk light tuna, chopped romaine, tomatoes & red onions, 1 Tbsp light mayo and 2 slices of Sara Lee Delightful whole wheat bread, and for my sinful side a 1 oz portion of the sweet & spicy Hawaiian kettle chips from yesterday. And some Diet Shasta Root Beer. Why Shasta? Because it's made with Splenda and much cheaper than Hansen's.

Random (1 pt)
A bite of my kid's shortbread cookie. I couldn't help it, haha.

Dinner (10 pts)
Grilled bruschetta chicken served over 1 oz of thin organic whole wheat spaghetti that was tossed with 1 tsp of garlic infused oil, salt & pepper, and an organic salad with 1 Tbsp ranch dressing (which I also cracked pepper over because man, I was craving pepper.)  I also drank water, not pictured.

Dessert (5 pts and faaaabulous!) 
Something I like to call a Hawaiian Dream Sundae, my own delicious creation.  First I cut fresh pineapple into chunks and grill them. Then I put them in a bowl and top them with a 67 g (1/2 c.) scoop of fat free vanilla frozen yogurt, 2 Tbsp of toasted, flaked coconut (the sweetened kind), and 7 g of chopped, roasted macadamia nuts. Yum yum yum, heaven in a bowl I tell ya.

And that was my day in food. I used exactly 36 of my 36 pts and am completely satisfied.  I didn't do a formal workout today, but I did burn a few calories dancing to Yo Gabba Gabba with my babies after dinner.  My little boy can get down!  My funny little girl just sat on her bum and scooted herself in circles while clapping for her brother and I.  Haha, well goodnight friends & family!  "Talk" to you tomorrow!
