Hope you all enjoyed your weekend and are ready to start a brandnew week!
I was up bright and early Saturday morning to start my dog sitting duties. It was only 6:30am, but I was getting hungry so I actually tried something new! Vans Dairy and Gluten-Free waffles. I don’t have to eat gluten-free foods, but I bought these because they were dairy (allergy!) free. The waffle was not as light as the regular kind and had a much sweeter taste. The verdict on this NEW EAT: I liked it! I topped 1 waffle with 1/2 of a medium banana and ate the rest of the banana on the side.
Around 8am I was hungry again so I had a bowl of kix with rice milk and I was good to go for the rest of the morning. I bought a new pair of glasses Saturday morning and can’t wait to pick them up later this week! The frames are light brown on the outside and blue on the inside. They’re really cute! I started wearing contacts when I was 15, but now that I have a desk job and sit in front of a computer for 8-10 hours a day it’s tough on the eyes so I started wearing glasses again about a year ago.
My lunch EATS were a simple turkey sandwich on a potato roll with a fruit cup. I ended up eating the fruit cup for an afternoon snack and had potato chips with my sandwich instead. I didn’t decide to forgo the fruit cup until after I took the pic and finished the sandwich so there’s no pic of them, sorry.
As an afternoon snack with the fruit cup I had a small bowl of Kix.
Dinner was DELISH! I grilled up some steaks for John and I. This was my second time grilling myself and I thought the steaks came out great! We also had potatoes that I microwaved then put in the toaster oven to get crispy. They were seasoned with ground pepper and garlic powder.
The potatoes.
The steaks were only seasoned with fresh ground pepper, salt and a little garlic powder so I thought they could use a little something extra. I made a tomato and garlic sauce with fresh basil from the veggie garden to top the steaks with. This was so good! I used a can of petite diced tomatoes, chopped up some fresh basil, seasoned it with garlic powder and added some EVOO then mixed it all together for a tasty steak sauce!
My first helping…
I also cut a tomato in fours and grilled it up to eat on the side. I had several more potato wedges and another small piece of steak.
Sunday’s breakfast was great as usual! They’re my fav 
Scrambled eggs, bacon (I buy the lean cut of bacon. This one only had 70 calories and 4 grams of fat for 4 slices.) and a biscuit made from the Bisquick mix. Of course there was ketchup for dipping! I cleaned my plate and had a second biscuit too.
John and I were out shopping in the afternoon so we grabbed some sanwiches for lunch. This was a HUGE, but GREAT sandwich from Lamberts. They sliced about a 1/2 lb of deli meat just for my sandwich! It was too much turkey for me so I took about 1/2 of it out. Lettuce, tomato, pickles and yellow mustard were my toppings of choice.
This was a hearty sandwich!
Breakfast and lunch were larger than normal so I wasn’t too hungry for dinner. I made smoothies with rice milk, mango and pineapple for me and John. This filled me up for a while, but later on I was hungry again so I had a bowl of Rice Chex, dry with no milk.
WOW this was a massive post! I’m off now to relax for the rest of the night before another busy week begins!!
