Lunch was a wrap using my new La Tortilla Factory Smart and Delicious Tortilla, 2 oz. honey ham, slice of 2 % cheese, lettuce and a squirt of dijonaise (a mix of dijon mustard and mayo). Along with that came my carrot cranberry salad and some Kettle Baked Potato Chips. A filling 7 Point lunch...
A snack probably wasn't necessary today. I wasn't really that hungry, but I fear if I don't eat something then I will go off the beaten track for dinner or after. Also, I think it dawned on me today that eating a little something even if I'm not feeling like it, does help keep my mood even and my energy up. Hence, no crankies! I saw the yummy hummus that I made the other day in the fridge and decided that would be a good snack. I paired it with a couple carrots and a half serving of New York Style 97% Fat Free Bagel Chips. I forgot about these guys; they are so good with hummus...
For dinner, I made the family stuffed shells. Lots of delicious cheese. I didn't want to go there; it would not have been pretty. So, I made myself a serving of Ronzoni Smart Taste Pasta. A serving is a measly 2 oz. which is why I don't eat pasta very often; it just doesn't "look" like enought food for me. A 2 oz. serving of this pasta is 180 cal., 1 gr. fat and 6 gr. fiber. which is 3 Points. I added to the volume by sauteeing some mushrooms and spinach; mixed it all together with a bit of my homemade pasta sauce. I sprinkled on 1 heaping tsp. of parmesan and spread the pasta out onto my plate instead of using a bowl. It "seems" bigger that way. Yes, I am that easily fooled! Very tasty...
I finished the night with some decaf Chocolate Tea (which does not taste one bit like chocolate, but it sounds good) and a Gingersnap cookie from last night's party...
Going to crank out some sleep =)

I know what you mean about fearing that you'll go overboard if you let yourself feel the dreaded hunger!
Your plates are so cute :)
What does Chocolate tea taste like? :)
mmmm tea & gingersnaps is the perfect way to end a winter night ;)
Sharon - the chocolate tea I had last night was STASH Chocolate Hazelnut Tea. I don't think it tasted like chocolate or hazelnut; it had more of a coconut type flavor. It wasn't bad tasting, though, just not what I was hoping for:)
Nice blog! Your "fixed up" pasta looks really yummy! Haha and thats funny the chocolate tea doesn't taste like chocolate. But coconut flavor? That sounds pretty good too~
I love those La Tortilla factory wraps - tons of fiber!
Chocolate tea? Sounds interesting!
