Alright I know I'm supposed to be eating more healthily but I'm just trying to use up some stuff in the freezer. The burgers weren't all that fancy as I tried to make them kid friendly and not too spicy, we did also have whole wheat buns and I served that with baked sweet potato chips and some lettuce with just a balsamic drizzle for dressing, held off on the mayo but did use a little ketchup. The meal overall certainly could have been worse and with both the girls enjoying dinner James ended up with 2 burgers and I just had the one, and I only let him have a single bun.
Tonight's dinner will be pizza! Oh yes I did, although I think I'm going to take a walk to the store this morning for a few more veggies to put on mine, James will have pepperoni on his but I'm more limited by what is in the fridge (not a lot) and I really need some mushrooms or something to put on mine. To save calories on the crust I'm using whole wheat pitas as the base and a salt free tomato sauce. I'm definitely thinking mushrooms, hmm pepper olives...oh yeah that sounds delicious. I'll em mix something up for the girls hehe will be their first taste of pizza. And of course there will be salad on the side for the green effects.
Finally received next months Rachael Ray magazine, I have to admit I was getting worried hehe. The cover claims healthy recipes, still have yet to stick my nose under the cover but will make an attempt later today. I am also thinking Monday will have to be a one pot slow cook meal and will call Debbie to see if we can do a movie this week, the boys so owe us a night out dammit! Fish tomorrow night (I can't wait!), I'm attempting to put fish on the menu at least once a week. The salmon wasn't so much of a hit with the little ladies so moving onto something else...
Oh ordered a new turntable for my spices in the cupboard. Still need some kind of shelving to put spices on as well but as my current one is on it's last legs...(I'm waiting for it to collapse). Mind you I've had this one for awhile now I think I bought it when we still lived in Livermore so it's a couple of years old at least. Unfortunately it's plastic and been through at least 2 moves and didn't do so well on the last one, the new turntable is metal and has three supports instead of 1 so I'm hoping for something a bit more stable. This will also give me a chance to go through my spice cabinet as well, I did it not too long ago but I'm finding I'm using fresh herbs more now so there are just some things in there that are not being used and are waay passed their fresh date.
