Which Sauce?

Saturday, March 22, 2014

I was thinking last night about hot sauce.  I have been enjoying a bottle of Tapatio I bought on a whim and that had been languishing unopened until lately.  At lunch yesterday I had some Marie Sharp's.  I know there are hundreds of sauces out there, maybe I need to start looking around.  But maybe not right away, since I bought a huge bottle of Tapatio on closeout at Meijer last week for $1.04.

Breakfast:  3 CF eggs fried in a bit of butter, 3 strips Meijer bacon, 2 C Alexia hash browns with onion, garlic and white pepper cooked in 2 T evoo, coffee (800 calories)

Pretty much breakfast perfection on a plate

I had to pick up something at Wal Mart last night, so I looked at their hash brown selections.  The Alexia potatoes sounded good, they didn't have preservatives or additives and I had enough room in the budget so I went with them.  Oh my.  Very tasty.  I could probably dial down my serving a bit - the potatoes and oil are more than half of the calorie count for this meal - but still:  Yum.

Oh, and the plan for tomorrow is to try a small breakfast and to do this meal for an early lunch.  I hope it works out!

Lunch:  Beef soft corn tacos (650 calories)

It bugs me when I forget to take a picture, only to remember just after I finish eating.  Grr.  Anyway, this was the leftovers from last night.  Kept it to 4 tortillas, no sour cream or avocado.  Yum.

Dinner:  Personal einkorn/parmesan crust pizza with ham, romaine salad no dresssing (575 calories)

Yo man where's the dressing?

Pizza was superb as always.  It was a little thinner than usual and I think I prefer it that way.  I like a crispy crunchy crust - edge pieces are always my favorite with a thin crust.  Anyway, just topped it with some ham I wanted to use up -- also being calorie conscious.  As for the salad, I was lazy and didn't make any dressing.  My buttermilk was expired anyway.  Turns out it was just fine without it.

Day total:  2,025 calories.  Right on.

Exercise:  Nothing formal.  But I did work around the house all day and ran a couple errands, so I was definitely more active than usual.  Tired by the end!
