Last night was another example of a meal that I can’t believe I can eat on a diet. I mean really, when I was low carbing I spent so much time longing for certain flavors and textures. For me breakfast is often just a basic meal. Lunch and dinner are when my taste buds come out to play :)
Breakfast was the usual all bran bran buds, just bunches, just pineapple and 2% milk. Yes, we drink 2%. Dan drinks 99% of our milk and needs the extra calories in his day.
Dan and I had a date lunch. It was a great day to have one since it was SIXTY degrees! Yup, 6-0. We sat outside and really enjoyed the mid day break. I ordered the Tokyo Joe's Joes roll. They gave me SO MUCH Wasabi that I cried with every bite. It was fabulous!
In the afternoon I had some clementines
and a piece of white chocolate.
I was thinking about this in comparison to the rolos. I’m sure both have a ton of sugar (compared to the dark chocolate) but the rolos would just continuously hop into my mouth. The white chocolate and coconut does not. I wonder if the Lindt is less processed than the rolos and so less of a trigger? Or maybe I’m just a sucker for caramel? What do you think?
After work Dan surprised me with a walk to the grocery store to pick up rice for dinner. It was a perfect night to go on a walk! We got home and Dan got started on dinner. He made a new risotto recipe from Jamie Oliver. This one included pecorino, prosciutto and goat cheese.
Wow. It was perfection. Savory and a bit salty and just the right combo of ingredients. I’m thinking next time Dan should make it with roasted sage (and without the prosciutto and goat cheese). mmmmm tasty. I love what I eat.
