I had Mexican food twice yesterday!!Ā Truth be told, I could have Mexican every day and never get sick of it!
For breakfast yesterday I used up some leftover broccoli, shredded zucchini, diced ham, egg beaters and mozzarella cheese to make another sort of crustless quiche.Ā I thought this would be 4 servings, but after I entered it into www.calorieking.com, I realized I could eat half for only 338 calories! š
Then pour in the egg beaters, 1 ounce of mozzarella cheese on top and salt, pepper and crushed red pepper.
Then bake for 35 minutes at 350.
I loved the bottom layer of potatoes!

My office ordered from a nearby Mexican restaurant for lunch.Ā I picked the chicken fajitas with corn tortillas.Ā I ended up eating:Ā 3-five inch corn tortillas, about 4 ounces chicken, green pepper, 1/2 cup refried beans, 1/4 cup Spanish rice, 1 ounce of tortilla chips and a tablespoon of sour cream.
When I got back to my desk, I entered my lunch and it comes in at a whopping 717 calories, 85 carbs, 57 protein, 15.8 fat and 13.1 fiber! Thank goodness my breakfast wasn’t high in calories! š
I had a surprise visitor yesterday afternoon!
Hannah came to visit!Ā She didn’t have to be to work until 5:15 so she stopped by to say hi and brought me a skinny vanilla iced coffee! š
It’s hard to believe that in 20 days she’ll be done with school!Ā Since she has straight A’s she doesn’t need to take any finals.Ā And she may get an award for best attendance in high school! She only missed one day her freshman year – she’s even contemplating not ditching on senior ditch day because she wants that award!Ā Did you have senior ditch day when you went to high school – and did you??!!
Dinner was more in my control – I ended up making shrimp tacos – while there are a lot of recipes for chipotle marinated shrimp I would have liked to try, I had to consider the spice factor for Tony.Ā In the end I went simple and just cooked the shrimp in taco seasoning with a bit of water.
This dinner was so easy to put together – maybe 20 minutes total?
My plate: 1 low carb tortilla, 3 shrimp, jalapeno, 1/2 ounce mozzarella cheese, 1 tablespoon nacho cheese, lettuce, cucumbers, 1/2 ounce of tortilla chips and 1/2 cup pinto beans.
Did you have Mexican food yesterday?

I did have enchiladas on Cinco! Your shrimp tacos look wonderful!
Your daughter is too cute! I definitely ditched on Senior Ditch Day š …among many other days ..oops!
I don’t know why I’ve never thought to use taco seasoning on my shrimp for shrimp tacos! I know I will next time…they look delish! Hannah is such a pretty and sweet girl.
Hope Hannah has a great prom!
Your dinner looks amazing!
I could eat Mexican all day long! Hannahs gorgeous! Congrats to her for straight A’s & almost perfect attendance. Have a great weekend!
Great mexi eats!
We had ‘beach day’, as we lived close to the beach, and it wasn’t just for seniors, it was for anyone that could go, on hot June Friday’s. I don’t think I missed many… š
hannah is my favorite girl name ever! because it is a palindrome. love it.
I was such a dork in high school, I probably did extra credit on senior skip day…
We had fish tacos yesterday. Yummy and festive! š
Great food, time with your daughter, a starbucks drink…Life is good.
My sister’s name is Hannah š
I could eat Mexican food twice a day, every day for the rest of my life! The breakfast food looks so good!
Those shrimp tacos look perfect! I didn’t have any Mexican food yesterday, but it was our anniversary, sooo we had other yumminess. I might make up for it, though. In fact, I know I will make Mexican very soon. hehe
Jenn
does tequila count as Mexican food???
i could eat mexican food every day too – and chinese food….
Great looking egg bake.
Yesterday we had margaritas and chips and salsa. As for senior ditch day, I only joined in after I was accepted to college. We did this on more than one day of the year. But I think for the big one I did ditch. Is it bad I can’t even remember?
Yummy breakfast, I can’t believe how low cal it is! Especially with the potatoes + cheese. Delicious š
Hannah is such a sweetheart. I need to buy my mom a coffee!
What a sweet daughter š I love stuff like that! I’m definitely trying your zuchinni egg dish…yum! Yes, I ditched on senior day and don’t regret it one bit š
I had no Mexican food yesterday. Being a California girl, that feels like sacrilege. Maybe I’ll stop by our local place tonight and get some takeout. I *love* Mexican food…I usually go with fajitas at our sit-down restaurant or a burrito or taco plate from our takeout place. I skip the rice–even though it’s yummy–but I can handle the beans and corn tortillas pretty well.
And how sweet is Hannah! I hope my kids turn out as sweet as her, although I don’t know if my pancreas could handle it. š
