Before I tell you what I ate, a very important announcement: I bought a hat, in the style of Kate Middleton. The full RepliKate will come after an October wedding. Stay tuned. Chris thinks it is ridiculous. I think HE's ridiculous.
ANYWAY, breakfast was a hard boiled egg, a plum tomato with basil, pumpernickel toast, and coffee w/ 1% milk. Thrilling, right?
For lunch, I made a new Pampered Chef recipe: Skinny Mac N Cheese. A giant batch has six generous servings, and is only 300 calories per serving!
Here's the recipe:

Here's the recipe:
Skinny Mac 'n Cheese
- 3 cups cauliflower (I used one head, minus the core)
- 2 cups uncooked elbow macaroni (I used whole grain)
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 1/2 cups chicken stock or broth (I used low sodium)
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 tbsp. flour
- 2 cups grated reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 cup 2% plain low-fat Greek yogurt
- salt and pepper
Directions:
1) Dice cauliflower in to small pieces until you have 3 cups, press or chop 2 garlic cloves.

2) Place cauliflower, garlic, and macaroni in a Pampered Chef RockCrok or Deep Covered Baker.
3) Whisk stock, milk and flour until blended. Pour into Deep Covered Baker/RockCrok, mix well.
4) Microwave, covered, on HIGH 17-20 minutes or until mac is tender, stirring once halfway through cooking.
6) Add yogurt and 1 1/2 cups of the cheese, stir until well blended. Season to taste with Salt and Pepper. Sprinkle with Remaining Cheese.
7) Microwave, covered, on high 1 minute or until cheese is melted.
I had this with 3 ounces of low sodium ham and 1 cup of broccoli. Then I packed the leftovers in unattractive to go containers to take to work. Hey, not everything can be glamorous.
For exercise, I did a loose interpretation of this for 30 minutes, and added in curtsy lunges, regular/bicycle/reverse crunches, push ups, and planks. The plan for tomorrow is arms and cardio.
For dinner, I tried this recipe from a magazine I saw while I was getting my hair cut last week. I forgot to get the mozzarella, so I made it without it. It was pretty good, but it did really need the cheese. Next time.
In conclusion:
