Day 35, February 4th, 2012 Part 1 - No Bake Energy Bites

I've seen these on Pinterest for awhile and thought I would give them a try.  I'm glad I did!  They are great.  I can't get E to agree just yet but I know he will like them one day....maybe tomorrow.  

No Bake Energy Bites

Followed the recipe!  

Day 34, February 3rd, 2012 Pistachio Crusted Chicken

My cousin Abby was telling me about a recipe where you crust chicken in pistachio's.  (Thanks Abby!) That took me on a recipe search and I finally settled for one off of www.AllRecipes.com.  We also had an asparagus couscous.  The chicken was a keeper!

Pistachio Crusted Chicken

I followed the recipe except I didn't cut the chicken into strips but just pounded them to even thickness.  I also only used one piece of bread that I ground in my food processor with the pistachio's instead of 1/2 cup of bread crumbs.  I will make this again.  

Asparagus Couscous

I didn't have a recipe.  I roasted some asparagus and then cut it into pieces.  I cooked a box of parmesan flavored couscous and added the asparagus to it.  I bought some plain couscous at Sprout's later that night that I'm going to experiment with.

E ate the couscous because I told him it was mac and cheese!  He gave it a 'mmmm'.  He also ate some of the chicken.  

Day 33, February 2nd, 2012 Fuddrucker's

We had a birthday party today at Fuddrucker's. (Happy Birthday T-man and G-man!)  I did my research before going and I think we ended up with a healthy meal in the end.  I had a grilled chicken sandwich with cajun seasoning.  I didn't get any cheese and I chose a wheat bun and asked for no butter or oil on my bun.  I didn't put any mayo on it and loaded it up with tomatoes, pico de gallo, and lettuce.  Jeremy and I split an order of sweet potato fries.  I didn't eat a cupcake which looked amazing and I just walked past the rice krispies that were calling my name!
I finally got my sense of smell back a little so that's a good thing!!

Day 32, February 1st, 2012 Chicken Enchiladas

Today I used the left over chicken from last night and made some chicken enchiladas.  I still didn't have any sense of smell so I couldn't taste anything.  J said they were good.  

Chicken Enchiladas

I used the chicken, 1 can of sauce, and maybe 1/3 cup of cheese.  I only made 4 enchiladas and added onions.

E ate a chicken cheese quesadilla and black beans.  

Day 31, January 31st, 2012 Cafe Rio Chicken Tacos

I broke down and went to the doctor today after being sick for two weeks.  I was diagnosed with a sinus infection and I am now on antibiotics.  The worst thing about all of this is that I can't TASTE anything today!!!  Nothing!  It is life group night so I needed something easy so I decided to do the Cafe Rio Chicken again.  See day 13 for the recipe.

It is really pointless to cook tasty food when you can't taste it.  I have no idea how it turned out and I didn't really eat any of it so I forgot to take a picture.  I'm so ready to be well!

E ate avocado, black beans, and chicken and cheese.

Day 30, January 30th, 2012 Super Salad

I've been pretty sick and worn out so when J came home from work and offered Super Salad I said Yes! Please!  :)  I had a big salad full of yummy veggie's.  I also had a baked potato with chili on it.  I didn't eat very much of it.

Thank you, J!  I love you soooooo much!

Day 29, January 29th, 2012 Pizza and salad

We had a meeting this night and dinner was provided.  I had salad, grapes, and 1 slice of Papa John's pizza.  I didn't eat the crust and I tried to find a piece that had more veggie's on it.  I forgot to take a picture.
