Day 110

Breakfast was a cup of rice chex and a half cup of skim milk, plus a cup of water.  Total: 4 points

 Lunch was three quarters of a cup of chili, a salad with tomatoes roasted in olive oil, and three cups of water.  Total: 6 points
Yay!  Olive oil!  Shiny nails and hair and no heart disease and low bad cholesterol!
Then I went to a party at my friend Susan's house, and being the faithful Shame Squad reader that she is, she had super healthy food!  Yay for Susan, who is hilarious and bilingual and had a tiara for me to wear!  I had a glass of water, a half cup of fruit (strawberries and grapes), a half cup of veggies (carrots and celery) with a tablespoon of dip made with low fat sour cream, and five tiny pretzels with a tablespoon of hummus.  Plus two little cookies that were delicious and tasted like fall!  Sooooo yummy.  Total: 6 points
Tiara!  Yay!
Dinner was funsies with Kiki and Rob, where we discussed weddings, politics, and Disneyworld.  You know, all the non-controversial topics.  I had a caprese salad (tomatoes, mozzarella, olive oil) and a bowl of minestrone soup.  Also four glasses of unsweetened tea and water.  And half a cannoli, because cannolis are delicious!  Total: 16 points
Sooo worth the extra points.
Exercise was weight lifting and wii fit (boxing, running, step aerobics) with two glasses of water.

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 Oscars, powered by onion dip

My hilarious friends Kelley and Christopher invited me over for the Oscars so that we could judge red carpet looks. Kelley is one of the few people in my life that makes me laugh without fail, and she blogs her adventures--and misadventures--over at The Lundscape .   Kelley warned me prior to coming over that they were more "Shame" than "Squad," so that's how we ended up with three types of dip.  This was fortuitous, though, because the dips sustained us through grueling hours of pausing and rewinding live coverage, swapping drink recipes  we learned on vacation, and discussing what award shows would be like on Middle Earth. Let's dive right in, shall we? Kelley : Janelle Monae's dress was sponsored by the Audubon society. Christopher:  This looks like "Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen meets Marie Antoinette." (It is revealed that the designer is Elie Saab.) Alyssa:  I'm pretty sure Elie Saab went on a coke bender. Kelley: ...

Freezer Meal #1 - Cheesy Shells and Italian Sausage

A month ago, a coworker invited me to a Pampered Chef Freezer Meal party.  I will admit that I went in to it with a little bit of an attitude: " I'm going to have to buy all their seasonings and the meals will be full of processed goo and not taste great ."   Four hours of fun, three glasses of wine, $170 for groceries and seasonings, and 14 meals later, I was happily proved (mostly) wrong.  Here's how my thinking changed: 1) I'm going to have to buy all of their seasonings - well, yes.  This is a service they're offering after all, and I felt like the $70 was more than worth the ideas and ingredients I got, plus not having to do the dishes and getting a free dinner was a bonus!  I discovered a few ingredients I would have normally given the "side eye" to, like cherry balsamic vinegar, which costs the same at the grocery store as it does from The Pampered Chef. 2) The meals will be processed - I was expecting lots of Cream-of-Something-Soup r...
