I was shocked when I asked Tony what he felt like for dinner and he said pizza!Ā We only had pizza a couple of times during lent because he isn’t a fan of no meat on pizza!
But first I have a bit of advice for you on how to make good coffee.Ā Turns out you have to put the top on the carafe before pressing the start button – otherwise you’ll get this:
And coffee grounds everywhere!
Okay, I was really grasping at straws to put together my breakfast and lunch yesterday – can’t wait to meal plan and do a decent grocery shop! š
Breakfast was 3 ounces of shredded potatoes, 1 oz. ham, 1/2 oz. mozzarella cheese, handful of baby spinach and wrapped in a low carb tortilla:
With some of the sweetest blackberries I’ve eaten all year!
And lunch was more hash!Ā Sauerkraut, shredded potatoes, Easter ham, cheese and diced apples all mixed together – while it doesn’t look pretty, I loved the balance of the sauerkraut with the sweet apples and salty ham.Ā I had a slice of sourdough bread on the side.
Reason 1,050 Tony loves me! He buys me stuff off the $1 rack!Ā I am going to see if I can come up with a grilled orange pepper soup and I am going to make chile rellenos casserole for my lunch next week. š
Hannah and Tony split a meatza pizza – I know, it’s weird – Hannah normally doesn’t like meat, but she doesn’t mind it on pizza!Ā They had bacon, Italian sausage, pepperoni and green olives.
My pizza: 6 ounces of dough, 1 ounce Italian sausage, 1/2 oz. bacon, 1/2 oz. of pepperoni, orange pepper and sliced fresh jalapeno š
I ate my whole pizza!Ā Dinner: 859 calories, 90 carbs, 39 protein, 40 fat and 4.7 fiber.Ā I am going to ignore the fact that 61% of my calories came at dinner! š
And Tony bought some cool drinks – I had one after dinner – its a slightly sweet Italian spumante – yum!
Stats for Friday:
- 45 minute walk at lunch
- average blood sugar: 148
- 1550 calories, 187 carbs, 81 protein, 54 fat and 14.7 fiber
Veronica left a comment on my last post – check out all her great Mexican recipes!Ā I may have to make some next week! š
And while I don’t make sweets very often, pretty sure Beth’s homemade peanut butter cups are insulin worthy!
This is definitely going on my menu – Amy’s Herb and Balsamic Steak Kabobs – yum!
I also plan to make Cory’s Green Salad with Peanut Dressing – but add some grilled chicken for more protein.
What’s on your menu next week?
Not sure what the plan is today – other than I plan on hitting the gym and reorganizing my kitchen gadgets – it’s getting out of hand!Ā Enjoy your Saturday!
Thanks for the shoutout Biz! Looks like that pizza party was a good way to celebrate the end of lent!
MMM, your breakfast burrito is delicious!
I think it’s uber sweet that he buys you stuff off the $1 rack….I so wish we had a $1 rack that had AWESOME finds like you all get.
I think I’d eat all your pizza too š
I did the same thing but with my blender once. Not fun!
No plans but probably smoothies,smoothies and more smoothies š
i’m not surprised he wanted pizza! You make THE best best best pizza’s ever Beth!! š
No plans on what to cook next week yet, but definitely something fast and easy so i can bring it to work! Hope you’re having an awesome weekend!
Your pizzas look mouthwatering!! YUM š

Ohhhhh! I hope you enjoy the salad with peanut dressing. It was rich with a wonderful kick of spice. Adding grilled chicken is a great addition for a filling lunch. You will have to let me know how it goes!
OMG those pizzas look amazing! how long do you cook them for????
I actually pre-bake the crust for 5 minutes at 425 – then put my toppings on and bake for another 12 to 15 minutes. š
mmm I am lovin the pizzas!
I think this week I am going to enjoy some pita pizzas. I have whole wheat pitas in the freezer and plenty of veggies to use up! š
ugh! sorry about the coffee mess! great way to start the morning, huh?
that pizza looked delish! seems like everyone is writing about having pizza and it’s making me jones for it…
Yeah for party pizza Friday!!!
Check out my blog B, and the pretty flower picture I took from my backyard
I often eat most of my calories at dinner and I’m wondering if that’s a problem. I’ve heard you should eat more in the AM and less in the PM but I love me a big dinner plate and am not so much of a bfast person. Anyway, your creations look superb as usual and thanks for linking to me–it gave me quite a surprise! I know you have lots of readers and I thought my comments got lost amongst tthe mob’s. LOL!
oh man that sucks about the coffee grounds and coffee spillage!
I wish a grocery store near me had a $1 produce rack. I would be there all the time.
