Peanut butter and jelly breakfast.

Baked an orange cake for my aunt, but didn’t get to give it to her due to the weather. This was taken after Josh dived in. I had a piece too and froze the rest.

I made jerk chicken with saffron rice. I rolled about a pound of organic chicken thighs in jerk spices and this drizzled with honey and olive oil and baked at 375 degrees for about 24 minutes. So, so good!

I would probably wear it outfit anyway, maybe even with my John Cusack pin. This fushia lipstick is perfect. I got it from the Sephora Collection in color Mr. Lover. It stayed on all night and wasn’t dry at all like some lipsticks tend to be. The dress is from Forever 21, it just came in the mail. The jacket from Coldwater Creek. The tights from Kmart. The belt from Old Navy. Modern retro outfit?

Josh playing with my phone settings. And a better photo of the lipstick. I love it, totally wearing this one again!

Lunch at Wildflour in Roanoke. I had the steak salad (yup, there is actually a salad under the mountain of sweet potato fries!) with a killer ginger dressing that our waitress recommended. This restaurant is one of my new favorites. I can’t say enough good things about it.

Josh had the shrimp and avocado quesadilla and a side salad.

Then we popped into the book store next door and where I found these gems. I’d like to do a Julie and Julia experiment with the Chocolate and Zucchini French cookbook. So many good recipes to try! I think I’ll give myself until the end of the year to make them all.

Our final stop was for gelato at Pino Gelato in Roanoke. I had hazelnut and cheesecake, Josh had coffee and hazelnut.

And last, but not least, I lost 2.35 pounds this week, taking me to the 10 pound loss point!

Working Lunch and Late Dinner

Lunch was late and eaten right in front of my computer. Josh graciously (and unexpectantly) brought home burgers and bowls of chili from the local drive-in sort of place. Their chili is homemade and really good and spicy.

Dinner was late too. We weren’t hungry until 9:30 and I was in the mood from something light because lunch was so heavy. I put this together under 10 minutes. Wild caught salmon cooked with organic butter, salt and garlic. I love salmon and rarely think it needs more than a little butter or olive oil and salt. The sweet potato was heated in the microwave and topped with butter, garlic, cayenne and salt. Mixed greens salad with my creamy dressing.

I’m getting the hang of these healthier meals. I think there’s a myth that I probably bought into at some point in my life that healthful meals were expensive and needed to be planned out. I thought they would take longer? Who knows. Anyway, this meal was about $4.50 each and the bulk of that expense was from the salmon.

What are your favorite, cheap and quick dinners?
