LMAO! I want to eat at Pearls house!!!

I just finished off the beef, about 1/2 serving size and another can of green beens. Hot tea and I feel very satisfied.

Gwen, if your avoiding the tea for rest? I was thinking about you today, try drinking your green tea in the am, and up until noon........that way you can have it for lunch. get you some chamomile and switch over to it for the rest of the day.

I know someone who would be very happy with that decision lol
He would say; "More food for me."

I have been cooking Spanish food like crazy, mostly chicken. That is my biggest struggle, not falling back to destructive habits and going all out. I am very proud of how I am handling the delicious stuff! :eek:

I also find feeding other people food I've poured my heart into as satisfying Gwen :lol2: I am like that little old lady in The Wedding Singer with her meatball :D

what kind of spanish food becky?
i love tortillas espanola.

Pearl have you tried those spanish cookbooks?

yes! a bit. i made tortillas espanola, paprika almonds, garlic shrimp, fruit and chili.
next time i'll take some pictures!
still gotta try these chocolate pecan brownies with chile.

I've never had that pearl! You'll have to share the recipe ;)

When I say '"Spanish", I am really incorrectly using a blanket term. It's a mixture of Spanish, Mexican, Cuban, Puerto Rican...
I make simple, home cooked, cheap, filling comfort food that if you are not careful, you will pack on the pounds ;)

tostones, pasteles, rice and beans, carne con papas, cuban ropa veija, flan, potato and meat (this is more or less beef stew meat and potato cooked in tomato sauce until tender served over white rice), arroz con leche, cuban chicken and yellow rice, lately the fiance has been loving Mexican mole' chicken, cuban garlic chicken, some different marinades and meat treatments, Spanish omlettes, Spanish chicken and chorizo paella, potatoes with garlic and parsley, churros, stews and soups...

What a great idea for another area to post in!

PS,

I scored last night and got my 30 minutes of "vigorous exercise" ;) on top of that 30 minute Buns DVD :cheer:

TMI :question:

one large egg, one slice of bacon, one heel of low cal toast and 8 oz skim milk

early dinner: http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e3...PotatoesGr.jpg
(unbeknownst to pearl, she has created a monster in giving me the brilliant idea of taking pictures of what I cook lol)
my specialty meatloaf, mashed white potatoes with the skins left on and garlic (horseradish added to the other half's portion as well, BLEH!) finished with a sprinkle of fresh gound black pepper, french style green beans and a basic side salad of lettuce, tomato, cucumber with 1 tsp lite Caesar dressing.
8 oz diet cherry 7-up

Later on I'll snack on 3/4 cup chocolate delight Special K and 4 oz milk.

Exercise... I plan on doing one of the four DVDs, and walking across "town" with Owen (since it's his turn) to check on grandmom and the new puppy of the family, Gracie :)

i have fallen.
breakfast~ 4 spoons of peanut butter and a glass of water.
lunch (here's the fall) hamburger all-american meal from macdonalds.
snack~ 2 WW chocolate muffins and i'm having a hard time not having the third.
supper~ haven't eaten yet but plan on mexican lasagna and salad.

I've been stressed and ate a 2 pound bad of M&M's in the last 2 days - not to mention half a box of Thin Mints. (IS THAT BAD?) :eek:
