    Treating myself (and my other half) tonight to the classic chicken nuggets and chips... I've earned it calorie wise!

    I will not be eating well for dinner tonight. My husband has a craving for what we call "ghetto lasagna." It's cooked egg noodles, american singles cheese, and cooked bacon layered and baked and topped with tomato sauce. It sounds gross and it's a lot of calories, but it is very tastey, and even better reheated the next day.

    Recipe for this? Always looking for something new :)


    At our house I just put peppers, onions, sweet italian sausage and spaghetti sauce on low in the crockpot to cook away for supper tonight. Will serve over whole wheat pasta.

    **the chicken sausage option is really good with this too if it's available in your area. Cuts down on some of the calories AND if I don't tell the family they never know ;)

    I'm a little nervous about dinner tonight! It's a graduation party and this is the menu.

    Pulled pork bbq or Italian beef on buns.

    Potato salad

    Creamy cole slaw

    CAKE!

    I don't even know if there will be any healthy stuff there but I'll watch my portions and I'm going to exercise before I go so I have a few extra calories to eat. It's all about adjusting your former 'lifestyle' to the new, healthier one!
