I will start off with the loss of the Pats game yesterday. I hate seeing people upset and am truly sorry for all you die hard fans out there...they were not themselves last night. However...nothing a little COD and baked ziti couldn't cure for my David...a full belly and some xbox agression and he felt a little better. :)
Did anyone else watch the Golden Globes last night? I typically don't make it all the way through award shows, however I managed to watch the whole thing last night! It was pretty funny actually, and I was glad that The Fighter took away two awards, it truly was a great movie. The Social Network did work! I havent seen it yet but plan to watch it soon. It really must be that good!
Anyways, I had a great weekend. It was definitely a "cheat weekend", and not my typical "cheat DAY"....sometimes you have to say eff it. We spent Friday night at BJ's. Seriously, its like the best place on earth. They have everything and when it comes to food you CAN'T go wrong. I think I got 5 pounds of Perdue thinly sliced chicken breast for something like $13 dollars. It could be more I just can't remember. 12 pack of Chobani yogurt for $12. Greek yogurt is my favorite, and its also so versatile when your making things like dips--use plain lowfat greek yogurt instead of sour cream! We definitely spent a small fortune there but it will last for at least a month and probably more--you just need a freezer big enough to hold everything...
Saturday was a typical day for us...I made the baked eggs that I had mentioned in my previous blog for breakfast. Absolutley delicious! I highly reccomend the recipe. We went over to Legacy Place in Dedham, which I love...just had to return a few things (and buy a few things) of course. We ended up at Chili's for dinner...one of my favorite chain restaurants. I typically am not a huge fan of chains..but Chili's is probably one of the best! They are constantly changing their menu (which is what you should look for in a good chain) and have a great atmosphere--and there food is always great! I am going to do a separate blog about chain restaurants...so check back for that. We had the nachos, I had the grilled chicken tacos and David had the cajun chicken pasta. And I had a mango margarita. Obviously.
Saturday night we went over to Keith's to play the Xbox Kinnect Dance game (SO FUN!) However I will say I think that it was all about the food that night! We walked in to a million different kinds of chicken wings, buffalo chicken dip, an array of appetizers, chips, crackers, cookies, etc...everything was so good, we couldn't stop...Not to mention jello shots, wine, beer, etc...It was a great night.
My friend Lucy gave me some GREAT healthful tips while we were there. One being House Foods Tofu Shirataki noodles. Basically, its tofu in the form of sphagetti. But its gluten free, and 20 calories a serving and tastes just like you were eating pasta. I am SO excited about these I bought two packs yesterday. You can find them in the refrigerated tofu section near the produce. Any of you looking for a pasta substitute, this is it! She also told me about HungryGirl.com, which I have been looking at all morning. What an amazing website!!! Tons of tips and subsitute recipes for things you love and crave. Check it out! She also told me about an iphone application (there are a ton out there) that helps you count calories and calculate your intake everyday. I'm going to check it out and you should too if your looking to keep track of your diet. Here's a pic of my baked eggs from Saturday!
