First I want to thank you for all your wonderful comments about Hannah’s essay – seriously, she gets all the credit for the person she turned out to be – sometimes I wonder “did she really come out of me?” 😀
Yesterday morning I put together my chicken tikka masala for lunch, and I spent so much time on that, that as I was leaving the house I was like “I didn’t bring anything for breakfast!” So I give you what you can throw into a bag in 20 seconds!

I went to the gym at lunch and did 40 minutes on the elliptical and did 5 minutes of abs on the ball. Could not wait to eat lunch!
I normally use jalapeno peppers to spice up the sauce, but I had this pepper:

I had no idea what it was because I bought an unmarked package of these at the store for .54 cents. Tony looked it up and its called an Aji Amarillo – I only used four small slices for my sauce and that was plenty of heat!
I hate meatloaf. I love burgers, but for some reason, I am not a meatloaf fan, but Tony loves it. So dinner was His and Hers.

I used low carb wraps that were 60 calories each, 11 carbs, 7 grams of fiber each – I can never get my insulin right using low carb stuff, and sure enough around 9:00 p.m. my blood sugar was 58. 🙁 So I had a peanut butter cookie! 😀
I have Mary to thank for my new recipe/menu binder! I don’t know about you, but have torn out recipes everywhere, printed out recipes in my bag, on my desk at work and by our computer at home – I even have some taped on the inside of my kitchen cabinets!
The pockets hold recipes that I want to make. Have you ever gone on a food blog and thought – I want to make that! Only to forget where you found it? In the middle of my binder is where I keep my notes now. And starting this weekend, I’ll be using Mary’s weekly planner – I like that she has a spot for working out too!
- Katie’s cilantro lime rice that reminds me of the rice at Chipotle
- Kerstin’s walnut chicken fingers with rosemary cider dipping sauce – looks amazing!
Don’t forget BSI is cider this week hosted by Errign! Get your recipes to her by October 17.
Happy Thursday!
I don’t like meatloaf either, but yours looks amazing!!! I’m going to have to try it that way…it may change my whole family’s outlook on meatloaf!
Love that binder – what an amazing idea! Thanks for sharing!
Yay! I’m glad my planners were useful. 🙂
I have a binder full of recipes too. You’ve reminded me to go through it and organize them.
Oh yum! Seriously…..I’ve got to try this meatloaf for my family…..I am new to your blog and I love it here! I’ve linked to you so I can visit often 🙂 I am Italian, and now I am off to look through your archives to see if I can find anything from Italy! Cia! Deb
I think I just gained a few pounds looking at that meatloaf!!!!
Nice call on the bacon wrapped meatloaf…I’d like to try that. I didn’t used to eat much meatloaf, but now I prepare it with a marinara sauce on top…and I’ll make meatloaf sandwiches with marinara too.
I am typing with one hand because the other one is picking up my jaw from the floor…it dropped to the ground when I saw the food porn! lol
