This week has seemed so long to me! But the school year has gone by really fast! Hannah only has three more days of school and a week from tomorrow she’ll be a graduate of the Class of 2010!
It’s so weird, when she was born I thought “it will be 2010 when she graduates from high school!” It seemed so far away, and can I tell you when I did the math and figured I’d be 42 when she graduated from high school, my then 24 year old self thought “God, I’ll be so old!” Well guess what? I still feel like 24! 😀
Breakfast was another round of a breakfast sammie on an everything bagel thin. Although the star of this breakfast sammie is this cheese:
I actually love all things goat cheese – and if I can find goat milk, I want to try to make my own goat cheese. Have you ever seen goat milk in your grocery store? Breakfast comes in at 442 calories, 48 carbs, 23 protein, 19 fat and 6.6 fiber.
I had a shrimp stir fry for lunch using the last of my yam noodles. Still not sure exactly what they are – all I know is that seven “bundles” of noodles is only 50 calories and 8 grams of fiber! The star of this dish is the stir fry sauce – I think I’ve mentioned it before but its worth mentioning again!
Lunch comes in at: 333 calories, 47 carbs, 27 protein, 6.3 fat and 19 fiber! 😀
This took me a long time to eat, but it wasn’t very filling at only 333 calories. I snacked on unphotographed almonds and a mini pack of peanut m&m’s! Snacks came in at: 236 calories, 15 carbs, 7.4 protein, 17.8 fat and3.9 fiber.
Last night’s dinner was grilled chuck roast. I know what you are thinking “you can’t grill a chuck roast – that is a cut of meat that needs to be cooked low and long to be tender!” I have Tony to thank for this dinner – the meat is medium rare and absolutely delicious!
I grilled zucchini on the side – the inside pieces are mine – with 1 tablespoon of crumbled tomato basil goat cheese 😀 I think I have a serious addiction to goat cheese!
My plate: 3 oz. meat, 1 cup mashed potatoes, 1/4 cup beef gravy and zucchini with goat cheese. Dinner comes in at: 462 calories, 41 carbs, 32 protein, 18.8 fat and 3.8 fiber.
I am hoping Tony is up for pizza party Friday! 😀 I am kind of thinking of making a different kind of pizza though – any ideas?
We have zero plans this weekend which I absolutely love! What are you doing this weekend?
Stats for Thursday:
- 1473 calories, 151 carbs, 89 protein, 62 fat and 33 fiber
- 45 minute walk with 2 pound weights 😀
- Update: I keep forgetting to post my Friday First! This week I am submitting the Belmont sauce – the perfect sauce for grilled burgers! Thanks Christina! 😀
I was actually looking at goat’s milk yesterday but decided not to be brave. Someday I’ll give it a go. Your age is just a number and I feel like I’m a teenager most of the time even thought the big bad 4-0 is on the horizon 🙂
i LOVE that goat cheese atop the zuch slices!!!
i saw a recipe for sweet potato pizza crust! it sounded SO good!
Just made an incredible BLT pizza… will be blogging that this week.
Enjoy the weekend!
The noodles are made of konnyaku! There’s a wiki entry under konjac, if you’re interested : )
You can get goat milk in pretty much all of the grocery stores around here 🙂 I’ve never tried it though, but I see quite a few people buying it at our store.
Your stirfries make me want to make stirfry. Especially with those cute little noodle bundles.
I love to make pizza on naan bread, I usually buy the supermarket brand of naan and top it as I would any other pizza….really yummy!
The second paragraph of your post made me smile. And this is why my blog is called Twenty Four At Heart …..!
i will be 42 when my daughter graduates too! i bet it went by so fast, it’s crazy how time flies.
everything looks so good, except i think i need to try a different brand of goat cheese or something because i’m just not having luck with it, and i really want to like it!
I will say your meals on the grill always look so delicious, Tony and Hannah are lucky people:)
Hmm…very interested to see the pizza dough recipe!
So simple! 2 cups flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 2 1/4 teaspoons yeast and 1 cup water. Mix and roll out – that’s it! 😀 This makes one 16 inch crust. Or two thin 12 inch crusts.
