PB and J Oatmeal

As soon as I woke up this morning I ate half of a banana and 1 C of Uncle Matt’s orange juice. I was feeling the need to eat very lightly and keep heavy foods out of my system. 165 calories

Around 11am I got hungry again and was in the mood for a bowl of oatmeal. 1/2 C. plain oatmeal, 1/2 C. whole milk, water (to thin it out), 1 T homemade peanut/almond/cashew butter, 1 T all-fruit jam, about eight peanuts on top. 380 calories

After breakfast I enjoyed an Arbonne Antioxidant Immunity Booster sent to me from my friend Claire. She also sent me a bunch of other Arbonne products to try out- my skin is thanking her for that! 40 calories

I didn’t get hungry again until well into the evening. I started making a quiche for dinner with a nice salad around 7pm.

The quiche was easy to throw together- 1 package frozen broccoli (steamed), 1 frozen deep-dish pie crust, 2 oz. cheddar cheese, 6 eggs, 1/2 C. whole milk, salt and pepper. Bake at 375 degrees for 45-50 minutes. 288 calories per slice (I had 1.5 slices at about 400 calories)

Mixed greens salad with cucumbers, tomatoes, 1/2 avocado, sprinkling of feta and vinaigrette dressing. 210 calories.

I also ate 3 glucosamine chews- not shown- 70 calories

Total Calories: 1,265

Exercise: 45 minutes of Insanity Workout, burned about 400 calories

Earned a sticker for the day!

The Bachelorette Dinner

A couple of weeks ago Josh went out with his friends leaving me home to live the life of a bachelorette. That’s what I like to call it at least. I felt the need to fix myself a really nice solo-dinner and it kinda made me laugh because it’s more of a man meal. Josh is more into ethnic foods with rice, and while I love those things, I really love a good steak too.

My idea of a good steak is a ribbye, which can be a little on the expensive side at about $6.50 a steak, but oh, it’s worth it. And way cheaper than a steakhouse.

I always use Alton’s cooking methods for the ribbye in my cast iron skillet. This is by far the most tender, flavorful steak I’ve ever had.

Serve with sweet potato fries, mixed greens salad with home made creamy garlic dressing, and a glass of wine. Perfection!

What is your favorite home-cooked indulgent meal?
