My new fav recipes this week


This week was really busy. I am so glad today is Friday. I had all my bentos planed out for the whole week on a nice little spread sheet, never got to use it. I had to throw them all together so fast in order to get some much needed rest. I improvised and used stuff in the kitchen that I had on hand.


Crescent Roll Pizza

One package on crescent rolls

one cup of low fat Motza cheese

one package of peperoni


I balled up some of the crescent dough and pressed it flat against the cookie sheet

Topped with a little olive oil and garlic powder

Added the motza cheese

Added the peperoni


Back ten minutes at 350 and had pizza


I snuck a little bite while I was packing and it was yummy. The kids can home from school and they thought it was great. So It looks like I found another lunch for the picky hero's.



My personal fav this week was a cut up cucumber with a pinch of garlic salt and fresh cracked pepper on it. I is kinda like a chip kinda like a pickle , but it definitely was a salt craving fix for my new healthy life style. I think half a cucumber ran me 20 calories and it kept me going through till lunch.

Bentos

I have tried numerous times to post some pictures of my recent Bentos but I am having trouble getting them out of my camera on to the comp. So In the mean time I am going to post a recipe that Captain Kurtis and Princess Seresta are in love with.

Apple Smoothie

Two medium sized apples
One 6 oz. vanilla yogurt
One banana
Handful of Blueberries
( if you are careful you can sneak in some whey protein like I do )

Put the apples through the juicer along with the banana and blueberries.
Then pour the juice into the blender and blend with the yogurt and the whey protein.

The kids love it. I usually make it along with breakfast but they like it for dessert as well.

Oh Willie


I am going to see Willie Nelson tonight. I am Super excited. He is my all time favorite artist. I love his voice. I can't wait.
