"Dinner Diary" Week 4

Whew, I almost fell off the wagon with the dinner diary this week - and I don't have very much detail to show.  I just barely remember each of our dinners, which I will record for posterity and to complete the bare minimum of what I want to have recorded!  Hopefully I'll keep up with this better next week.  I'm also experimenting with tracking foods and nutrition most week days (although it's not going to be very effective if I just don't track when I'm embarrassed at how much I eat/don't want to see the actual numbers...if I don't look it didn't happen!!)

On my own tonight for some cleaning and just CHILL time. I made simple cheese, scrambled egg, bean, and leftover veggie quesadillas.  I was anticipating a stressful conversation later that evening, so I drank a delicious Sofia blanc de blanc champagne can while my laundry was going - then said convo never happened! Fine with me.

This was a really fun, packed day.  We went stand-up paddle boarding in the morning!  That was the big activity, and I looooooved it.  Worked up an appetite and then had fried oysters and grilled veggies and sweet potato fries and Tackle Box.  SO GOOD.

Then it was home to shower quickly and head to Claire's baby shower!  While there, I had a glass of prosecco, 2 chocolate covered pretzels, and a vanilla georgetown cupcake. The essentials.


Finally, we went to see Jon Lovitz at the Arlington Cinema and Drafthouse!  I got a small veggie pizza, a White Russian, and a glass of wine to enjoy during the show. Lots of laughs.  More laughs ensued when we got home and I needed to show Kyle an example of a hoarded. I just went to Netflix and searched for a hoarder show - of course, there was one available. We're watching the first episode, and something clicks in my mind:  I KNOW THIS PERSON. He had asked me out on the Metro five years prior, and I still had the facebook messages to confirm! Crazy!!

Now here's where things are going to get a little...succinct.  Dinner was Trader Joe's pulled brisket in BBQ sauce, sweet potato fries, and roasted broccoli.  BOOM.  Ellie loved all of the components!

Dinner was a big salad with grape tomatoes, romaine, cucumbers, and goat cheese and mozzarella.  On the side, I made spiced sweet potato wedges, and roasted broccoli.  Mmm so fresh and healthy. I did snack more later.  Eleanor pretty much picked out the tomatoes, because they are her favorite.

"Breakfast burritos" with cheese, scrambled eggs, and grape tomatoes.  Homemade sweet potato fries on the side.  Yeah Eleanor was not really feeling any of this :(. But then she did eat an ice cream cone.

August 21st, 2014

Chicken tacos from District Taco. I had about 2 1/4, and Eleanor had about 3/4 of one taco.  I just loved the soft tortillas.
