My daughter doesn’t like meat much at all.  She’ll eat ground beef in tacos, she’ll have a ground beef burger if it is really flat and overcooked.  But I think other than Nana’s chicken (which I have tried to recreate but “it doesn’t taste like Nana’s”), this is probably her favorite chicken dish.

I don’t have exact measurements, because I just throw it together.  Mine has spaghetti squash on the side, daughter has whole wheat pasta (doesn’t like marinara sauce either!).

  • 4 oz. chicken parmesan
  • 4 ounce homemade pasta sauce
  • 6 ounce cooked spaghetti squash
  • 2 ounces fresh spinach
  • 1 tablespoon Paul Newman’s Caesar dressing
  • 2 glasses red wine

I decided that I am going to take an “in between” picture, i.e. what I look like today and then on the day after the Biggest Loser finale.  I’ll post both my before picture today and that picture – which I think will be in about four months?  How’s that for motivation?!

I guess my favorite discovery today was the Trader Joe’s yogurt.  I should shop there on a more regular basis.  What are your TJ food finds?

I love the light by my window at work – here was my afternoon 50 calorie snack – my sugar free mocha coffee drink.

I love my yellow stock paper!
