Day 23. Inspiration for Recipe Tuesday.


Tonight I started to work after browsing for a few minutes on the internet. I lost track of time and it was late and I was huuuuungry, yes that hungry. I have some homemade cookies in the house which tempted me to simply think, "forget it, I'm sick, I'm going for it!!! 3 cookies and milk for dinner." I walked to the frig and thought, "well, I actually want a steak. I don't have steak." Before I knew it I talked through the motions of healthy alternatives:
1. 3 chocolate fudge cookies with milk became;
2. One ham sandwich with two slices,heavy on the mayo became;
3. 1/2 ham sandwich,light mayo and add mustard. Add greens in the sandwich and a salad on the side.
4. Oh, and add sliced almonds and that new salad dressing I just bought. Raspberries for an added tart taste.

Voila my dinner. Yes, I know it's not a culinary accomplishment BUT, it is a large improvement over the first "meal" I thought of having. A late dinner also resulted in my blog "special edition". As of today I will start to have Dinner Tuesday's. This will include simple or long, healthy or alternative meals. I will redeem myself next Tuesday. I hope.

Now I say goodnight with a warm cup of Tina's Tea, my mothers home remedy concoction. And yes, one cookie (160 calories).
