Taco Tuesday 9-13-11

I got up early again and put a pork ribeye roast into the crock pot with 2 small cans of chile verde salsa (Herdez brand in the can) and a splash of fat free chicken broth. The house smelled delicious all day.  We had a 5 p.m. appointment with our realtor to take pics of our place for the real estate web sites, so it was another crazy busy day getting the house in order.  I can never understand how a two year old can destroy a home so quickly, but I digress.  After the realtor left and we could breathe again I went to Target for a few things and discovered they too have some awesome Halloween stuff.  I couldn't resist and got a few things for baby girl's upcoming birthday party, including a spider web cupcake/treat holder and an awesome spooky tree.  I was pretty good today, food-wise, til dinner when I decided to treat myself to one of my famous strawberry-mango margaritas.  (I earned it today, believe me!)  I ended up dipping into weeklies today, using 41 pts of 36.  Depending on how this week goes I may or may not lower my daily points target next Monday since baby girl is starting to be a lot better about eating solids and isn't nursing as frequently.  Anyway, here was today's menu.

Breakfast (11 pts)
1/2 c. scrambled egg whites, 2 links of turkey sausage, a cinnamon-raisin bagel thin topped with 1 oz of pumpkin spice cream cheese (can you tell I'm on a pumpkin kick?) and 2 skinny lattes made in my usual way.

Lunch (13 pts)
Leftover turmeric braised chicken in yogurt sauce (even better the second time around), 1 c. curry rice with celery, green onions, red peppers, golden raisins and almonds, and a cup of simple cucumber salad with yogurt-dill dressing.

Snack (0 pts)
A banana

Dinner (17 pts)
2 slow cooker chile verde pork tacos, 1/2 c. canned refried beans with a sprinkle of cheese, 1/2 oz Baked Tostitos scoops, and a big organic strawberry-mango margarita with the last ounce of my Patron Silver.

It's 11:36 and I still have dishes to wash and birthday invitations to finish making.  I was supposed to have baby girl's invitations mailed by last Friday but I have been busy, so now my goal is to have most of them mailed by tomorrow.  I have a lot of work to do.  Good night all!
