i had an exam this morning, so my day started with my customary mocha from Suju's in an attempt to get my brain rockin' and rollin. i did okay.. it's done now. so i came hope to get going on david's birthday cake and in the process of pulling out the food pro to shred carrots, i cut the crap out of my finger. needless to say, it has made the rest of my day exceedingly more difficult than it could have been. hopefully it heals without needing stitches...
breakfast:
12 oz nonfat mocha
odwalla trail mix bar
lunch:
15 tortilla chips
3 mozzarella balls, chopped
1/4 cup pico de gallo
snack:
10 teddy grahams
2 tbsp chocolate chips
dinner:
pan-fried tilapia (dredged in whole wheat flour mixed with mccormick's lemon pepper seasoning, fried in a spoonful of olive oil)
ann-marie's chinese "chicken" salad (recipe below)
i was just about to go to sleep when i remembered this...
friday night munchies:
small bit of salad at olive garden
pomegranate martini
1 piece digiorno pizza
honest tea
Chinese "chicken" salad:
this is a party fave that came from my mom's best friend ann-marie. i'm putting it down as written, but for the same amount of veggies, i cut the dressing in half and it's PLENTY. when making it for just myself and kris, i half the dressing again as well as the rest of the ingredients, add shredded carrots and omit the almonds. i also 'fry' the ramen noodles with some pam, just enough to get the powder to stick.. rather than adding extra butter, and i use grapeseed oil (more heart healthy) for the 'salad oil'.
16oz bag shredded cabbage (or you can shred your own- 1 large head cabbage)
6 green onions - chopped
1/2 cup slivered almonds
2 pkgs. Chicken Top Ramen
1 to 2 Tbsp. sesame oil
1/4 cup butter
Melt butter in large pan, add sesame oil, and chicken flavor packet from Top Ramen
Crush Top Ramen and add to pan...brown and set aside to cool.
Dressing - mix together and chill
1/2 cup salad oil
1/4 tsp. sesame oil
1 Tbsp. soy sauce
1/2 cup rice vinegar
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 tsp.each-salt & pepper
Right before serving, Mix shredded cabbage, almonds, onions, ramen noodles and dressing.
Toss & Serve!
working towards a better me... 1 pound at a time.

Yay you're blogging again! I love seeing what other people eat. It honestly doesn't look like you eat too much. Maybe just like you were saying, too many sweets, not enough veggies? I've been SO bad about veggies lately. Must go to the farmer's market!
Steph: yay! glad I have a follower! LOL. It's so true though.. I DEFINITELY need to eat more veggies - I have trouble getting over to the farmer's market every weekend, so I've been going to the produce stand off of Fremont blvd: D&G flowers and produce - the selection is really great (better than Ardenwood I think), and the prices are awesome!
