Hi everyone!
You will be happy to know that I composed myself and today I was much better and not such a ravenous animal! :)
I am going to tell you what I had today just so you see how easy it is to make something (and sometimes buy something) that is quick and easy.
Today I had:
For breakfast:
-2 eggs that I fried real quick and kind of scrambled. I threw them in a Tupperware container to bring to work with me and added a little left over zucchini from last night and salsa. I didn't even have to heat it up- it was great!
-then I had an apple a little later with some peanut butter
For Lunch:
- I made a salad at home in the morning (which took me 3 minutes....I timed it) just lettuce, some cabbage, sundried tomatoes and zucchini as well-
-some sushi (that I got from a store)
For dinner I made home made chicken soup. All you need is 1 onion, 2 celery stalks, 1 large carrot, 1 lb chicken breast, 1 carton of low sodium chicken stock. Optional items which I think really helped my soup were 1/4 cup white wine, can of creamed corn and tbls of curry powder.
here's what I did:
-chop onion, celery and carrot.
-add olive oil to dutch ovenor soup pot and when hot add onion
-cook for a minute or two, add carrot and celery
-cook until soft and add a little salt
-meanwhile chop up chicken into little bits and add to pot
-stir these ingredients until the chicken is cooked a bit and then splash white wine in
-cook a few more minutes
-add chicken stock
-add salt and pepper and a little garlic powder if you want
-bring to a boil and then simmer for about 20 mins
-add cream of corn soup and heat back up
-add tbl of curry powder at end- also a Little cayenne if you want
-salt and pepper to taste
The only thing I got for "take out" today was the sushi. Everything else I made
This whole thing took about 30 minutes.
**I think the thing to remember though is that most of the time for a base of a soup you can always saute onion, celery, carrot and use some kind of stock. Everything else you put into it is up to you! You can add potatoes, pasta, sausage, peppers, other vegetables, only vegetable...you get the picture....Be creative, it's really fun! :)**
No beauty tip tonight...I have to think of one! :)
