January 4th

Yesterday I promised you the recipe for mini omelettes.  I got the recipe from Diana, who got it from a blog post called 3 Busy Girl Breakfasts.  I like the recipe because it's flexible--you choose your mix-ins to suit your taste.

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, and generously grease a muffin tin.  And I mean GENEROUSLY GREASE, my friends.  As in, get some butter and a paper towel out.  Even with doing this, my omelettes still stuck a little.  I know Diana's didn't stick--I think she used silicone or paper baking cups.  TELL ME YOUR SECRETS, DIANA!
  • Chop your mix-ins, and fill 1/3 of each muffin tin.


  • Beat 8 eggs, and generously season with salt, pepper, or any other spices you'd like to use.  (I used 6 eggs and a pinch of s&p as directed, and neither was enough.)
  • Fill almost to the top, and bake for 18-20 minutes.

Taa daa!  Plus these reheat well in about 30 seconds.
Breakfast

  • A mini omelette with added cheese (100)
  • 2 slices center cut bacon, every trace of grease removed (60)
  • blueberries (45)
  • green tea with honey (30)
  • 2 glasses of lemon water


 Lunch

  • Chicken Eugene (260 - I didn't finish the entire portion)
  • Brown Rice (160)
  • 3 glasses of water

Snack

  • Coffee with lots of 1% milk and just a little sugar (100)
  • Half an apple (50)

Dinner

  • Curried chicken salad (chicken, grapes, and celery with light mayo, salt, and curry powder) on wheat toast (245)
  • Pumpkin protein square with tru whip and cinnamon - that recipe is coming tomorrow! (100)
  • 3 glasses of water
Exercise
  • Fitsugar's 10 minute core workout
  • Fitsugar's 10 minute arms workout
  • 45 minute walk outside, and the clouds looked like pink and blue cotton candy!  (The two red dots are balloons advertising new construction for sale.)
  • Then 15 minutes of exercise bike riding in socks, because I had a blister

1150 vs. goal of 1400, which is weird, because I never felt hungry.  I also should have eaten more vegetables.  I'll work on that tomorrow.

 In conclusion, Kate!

Freezer Meal #2 - Maple Pork Tenderloin with Apples

This is the second part of my foray in to freezer meals - the first part can be found here  for Cheesy Shells and Italian Sausage. Today we're making a pork and apples recipe adapted from The Pampered Chef.  I love this one--it's so easy to assemble in advance, most of the ingredients you likely already have, and it couldn't be easier to fix the day you want to eat it (dump stuff in pan, bake). So yummy.  And pretty. Maple Pork Tenderloin with Apples For this you'll need the ingredients below.  You probably have the oil, vinegar, garlic, brown sugar, mustard, and bags in your pantry!  You can also easily divide this recipe if you usually only cook for 2-3 people at a time (that's what I do when I make it). 2 pork tenderloins , about 2 pounds total - they can be expensive, so pick these up on sale 3 apples - I prefer honeycrisp but use what you like, or take one of these suggestions 1 small red onion 1/4 cup canola oil 1 clove garlic , press...

The Olympic Outfits of Johnny Weir, rated

The Verner girls are back, 4 years later, to discuss the outfits of Johnny Weir. (And the crowd goes wild!) Since writing about his Sochi wardrobe , it has been one of my top posts of all time. Other highly rated posts include a post about the palaces of Hawaii , how to pack for vacation , a Pampered Chef cheesy pasta recipe , and Meghan Markle tiara predictions . You guys are an eclectic group. Speaking of eclectic, let's talk about Johnny's overall look. First, let me start off by saying that yes, I know that Johnny looks like a cross between the Hunger Games, Pee Wee Herman, and Colonel Sanders. So obviously, I've seen that one post on Twitter about it. And that meme on Facebook. And that thread on Reddit. Johnny is not one for subtlety. One year he said he was going to go with a "not-so-literal" interpretation for his Kentucky Derby hat, and he then literally wore a crown of roses and a mint julep on his head. Basically, Johnny would not know subtl...

Baseline

Oooh look, I came back!  It's time for our first update on how "New Year, Old Me" is going. This week was pretty much documenting a baseline where I logged what I ate (for science!  Okay, not really--for pattern identification!), did a lot of stretching because my piriformis, psoas, and QL muscles are jacked, and tried to identify some changes I could make. Let's get right to... What I'm eating 'Tis the season for leftovers!  We try ( try  being the intent here) to minimize our food waste by keeping a running list of things we need to use up on the fridge.  And this week we actually made it through everything except the coleslaw and the applesauce (the coleslaw went to a landfill, while the applesauce lives to fight another day). My, my.  What pretty handwriting. Leftovers never sounded so lovely. I had some leftover ham from Christmas, Observed  on the 30th with my parents, and then some leftover fresh broccoli from a veggie tray my SIL made for ...
