I was VERY glad I wrote yesterday afternoon before book club. It was after 11 by the time we got home.
I made a vegetable dish so I knew I would have something with low Points Plus to fill be up. It turned out really good. I found it on Pinterest. It was a link to Kalyn's Kitchen roasted green beans and mushrooms. I haven't had much luck with broccoli recipes from Pinterest, so I was glad that these turned out.
For the most part, I did really good. I stuck to snap peas for appetizers. I had one slice of sour dough bread and 1/2 cup of mashed potatoes. Robin had made a pork loin from Trader Joe's. That was great! Everything else were 0 point vegetables! I planned for a glass of wine. I was really glad to find out those are only 4 points!
I had so many points left that I even had a slice of cake. It was an eruption cake from Whole Foods. It's chocolate cake, with chocolate whipped filling, butter cream frosting, with a ganache topping. It was so good.
We did go see a movie afterwards, The Family with Robert DeNiro. It was good; I just had expected more of a comedy. I did learn a lesson. It's a habit for me to get popcorn. Cinemark sends out coupons weekly and I like to take advantage of them. This week was a small popcorn with a large soda. I wasn't even hungry, but I got the popcorn with extra butter - out of HABIT. I used to just get a bottle of water and be done. I really need to get back to that.
Today was very lazy. I got everything ready last night to swim this morning. As you can tell, I'm NOT a morning person so when the alarm went of at 7 I slept right through it. I didn't wake up until 10:30!
I was planning on making some taco meat for the week, but I just wasn't ambitious. I hope I don't regret that later. I have a quilting retreat this weekend and my dad is dog sitting for me so I'm trying to make and freeze some meals for him.
Anyway, I hope you guys had a more productive day than I did! Have a great week!
