Breakfast (12 pts)
4 oz leftover chile verde pork sauteed in 1 tsp canola oil with onions, chiles and egg whites rolled into a warm flour tortilla. It might sound weird but it was a lot like a machaca burrito and was super delicious. Instead of my usual 2 skim milk/hazelnut lattes I had Mexican hot chocolate inspired ones. 1 c. hot skim milk mixed with a packet of Diet Swiss, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, Splenda, a tiny bit of nutmeg and coffee. It was a nice change.
Lunch (10 pts)
Leftover eggplant parmigiana, 1 piece of ghetto garlic bread and a Diet Shasta Root Beer.
Dinner (8 pts)
A large bowl of chicken tortilla soup with 10 kinds of veggies plus diced potatoes, reduced fat pepper jack cheese, 2 oz of sliced avocado, cilantro, lime and 1/2 oz broken up Baked Tostitos scoops.
Dessert (12 pts)
A slice (and then another half of a slice) of no bake pumpkin spice cheesecake. Yum yum yum, and kinda dangerous to have in the house. Next time I make this it'll be when we have company so I'm not tempted to have seconds!
I ate 42 points of 36 because I had more dessert than I should have, but that's what weekly points are for. Thank goodness it's almost the weekend. I'm in pretty good shape weekly-point wise, so I should be ok if I stick to my planned meals. I really need to get exercising again though. I feel so terrible about that, ugh. Hopefully tomorrow. Goodnight all!
OR . . . you could make your no-bake pumpkin spice cheesecake next time you come over??? I would also love to try your skim milk/hazelnut lattes. About the tortilla soup, is that daddy's recipe or did you use a different one?
ReplyDeleteHaha, I was going to say "or next time I go to my parents' for Sunday dinner..." I'll make it for you guys soon. My tortilla soup recipe is one I made up myself but it's a lot like daddy's. I just don't puree the tomatoes. I put 2 tsp oil in a large soup pot and saute onion, carrots, and celery seasoned with salt/pepper/cumin, then I add chopped garlics, then dump in 2 cans of Mex style tomatoes (with chiles), a whole box of fat free organic chicken broth, diced zucchini, yellow squash, diced potatoes, red & green shredded cabbage, chicken breast (which I usually Foreman grill but sometimes boil ahead of time) and add extra seasonings as necessary. Then I top it with reduced fat pepper jack, baked tortilla chips, lime & cilantro. (And Taptio.) It comes out more like a stew than a soup because of all the veggies.
