Less is More

Happy Tuesday all! I actually didn’t buy that basket at Home Goods that The Husband used for a hat on my last post.  Although, I probably should’ve just for the on-going entertainment lol.  The goal of my post today is to try “Less is More” and let my pictures do the talking.  I am always envious of those who can get there point across with just a picture and  sentence or two.  I know I tend to ramble on a bunch as sometimes I just have to share the story with each snap shot…but, tonight….it’s two days of eats, one sentence per picture and a test to ummm, see if I can be less wordy. 

ready, set, go….(see that’s one sentence!)

Yesterday started with one of my favorite new things 3 Ingredient Banana Pancakes

So incredibly tasty & filling ~ topped with berries, banana, coconut flakes, pure maple syrup and a little whipped butter (SF + 3 WPA) – 7 points+

I love it when leftovers turn into lunch ~ 2 slices of my Asparagus Potato Tortilla (SF) – 6 points+

I made up a huge batch of this salad by cutting up an entire bag of organic romaine and mixing it with carrots and red cabbage then adding sliced mini peppers and tomatoes.

I always toss my salad dressing all over my salad by shaking it in my container. (I totally want to say shaken, not stirred, but, that’s an extra sentence!)

Funny fact ~ The Husband always cuts my cherry tomatoes in half when he helps with lunches because he says you get more that way. (SF + 1 WPA for 1 Tbsp. Newman’s Lite Lime) 1 points+

I promise it’s a yellow plum in my picture with a Perfectly Hard Boiled Egg. (SF) – 2 points+

We checked BBQ chicken off our list as we are working our way through the freezer to get ready for Meatless March that starts this Saturday. (SF) – 3 points+

I also traded in my kale chips for a little of the Healthy Potato Salad I made for The Husband (SF) – 2 points+

We both were wondering if Swiss Chard counts as being a Southern Food like Collard Greens – any thoughts on that?

This morning I was rushing around to get out the door for an early morning meeting with the UK that was cancelled only after I started driving – fun times!

Healthy Egg Roll (SF + 1 WPA) – 5 points+

My co-worker and I decided that we deserved Starbuck’s since we had all this “extra” time on our hands now LOL. Nonfat Decaf Latte with caramel drizzle and a banana (SF) – 3 points+

I a totally proud of the fact that I had a working lunch at Ristorante Allegria ~ this amazing Italian Food place in an old bank building and I didn’t order pasta!

I did however have two slices of their fresh homemade bread topped with this balsamic, garlic and olive oil dipping sauce. (SF + 4 WPA) – 4 points+

This was some of the best vegetarian minestrone I’ve ever had. (SF)

Paired with a simple salad tossed in balsamic vinegar and olive oil (SF) – 2 points+

I can be totally funny at times ~ being too proud of myself for lunch, I decided I’d earned a 1/2 scoop of mango and 1/2 scoop of triple berry sorbet when we stopped at Annette’s Chocolates on the way back.  It could’ve been ice cream so there is a little success there (SF + 4 WPA) – 4 points+

Tonight’s dinner is one of The Husband’s favorite meals ~ we use Bill Bailey Carne Asada to make these super simple Carne Asada Fajita Salads.

Here is what is in the mix (and you can totally pretend this is just one long run on sentence):

• My romaine salad mix above
• grilled peppers, onions and mushrooms
• 4 oz. grilled carne asada
• 1 Tbsp. sprinkle of Queso Fresco (it’s like a salty, crumbly mozzarella)
• 1/8 avocado
• 1/2 cup homemade pico de gallo

Totally delicious and “almost” 100% Simply Filling (SF + 3 WPA) – 8 points+

Here are my stats for today:

• Simple Filling (SF): 12 WPA (Weekly Points Allowance) used, 21 WPA remaining
• 26 Daily Points+ 0 WPA used, 49 WPA remaining
• My FitBit Dashboard:

I “almost” did it ~ Actually I think that was harder to do than to just ramble on about my day as though I was chatting with you all over a cup of coffee.

Night all!
