Skilletized

Happy weekend.  Getting things off on the right foot this morning by having a delicious breakfast, courtesy in part of my new skillet.  One of the better $5 I've spent lately (after coupon and reward points, that's what I spent).  Still pretty sluggish this morning, didn't get 8 hours or anything, but I feel like I slept a lot better.  Was not nearly as tired as yesterday.

Breakfast:  2 CF eggs fried in a bit of butter, 3 strips CF cajun bacon, 2C Meijer hash browns fried in 2T olive oil, coffee (675 calories)

Big pile o' hash browns, courtesy new skillet

Very tasty of course.  There is just something awesome about eggs and potatoes and bacon.  The new skillet worked quite well, though I do wonder if I should have picked up the 8" size instead of the 10" size.  Hmm.  Maybe I'll keep my eyes open for another great deal and grab that one of these days too.  The 10" kind of begs for more oil, but I thought these turned out great - they were less of a crispy cake than when I do them in the smaller anodized skillet.

I thought about filling that empty space with some avocado, but I figured I had better not get too carried away with the calories so that I can still have planned lunch and dinner stuff.  I would probably feel different and more lenient if I had gotten out for an hour of walking this morning!

Lunch:  Leftover chicken pot pie filling (650 calories)

Stew never looks great, but it is.  Also:  New camera angle!

Why is it that stews are so much better the second day??  It happened again.  This was good yesterday.  Today I devoured it.  A bit of added salt and pepper helped, but still, it was the 2nd day effect.  And one more to eat tomorrow!  Yay!  Oh, and I definitely ate a bit more than 1/3 of the recipe yesterday.  Oh well.

Dinner:  Einkorn/parmesan crust pizza with ham and mushrooms, romaine salad with homemade ranch dressing (625 calories)

Wait, what, this isn't Friday night!

Ohh yes.  So very good.  Went with romaine, pickle and (lol) El Pato jalapeno salsa.  I didn't read the label, the tomato was pureed, so it was closer to a sauce.  Oh, well, who cares.  That plus the homemade dressing was yum.  Curiously, I actually wanted more lettuce!  On the pizza front, went with a couple of leftover slices of deli ham instead of opening the pepperoni.  I feel all responsible and stuff.

I have a feeling that tomorrow is going to look like a carbon copy of today!  Also, I need to get batteries for my kitchen scale and next time I make ranch I am determined to come up with a recipe and accurate nutrition information!

Day total:  1,950 calories.  Bullseye.  A little different to eat three equally weighted meals instead of one small and two bigger meals, but that's the weekend for you.

Exercise:  Nope.  Worked all day, so no exercise.  Boo.
