Oh man, I am so glad Halloween is right around the corner, I'm ready to loosen the reins a touch on my path of starvation and torture diet. I am starting to get a smidge tired of my "skinny" only diet....I want to cheat so bad. The "skinny" food is still good and all, it is just I have had next to nothing else for...oh about 54 days now. I am almost 15 lbs down, so it is working...but getting a little dull.
I think I just need to allow myself a real...AKA bad for you, burger or some junk food every now and then, that should help. We tried a new one today...Skinny turkey burger quesadilla. They were good.
You need: 1 lb lean ground turkey 1 cup pico de gallo 1 cup shredded reduced fat cheddar jack cheese 8 small whole wheat flour tortillas, cut smaller if desired spray oil pepper
Directions: -Form 4 flat patties, as thin as you can. Season with salt and
pepper. -Heat a pan to medium-high heat; when hot, lightly spray
the pan with oil and add the burgers. -Cook burgers about 2 minutes on
each side or to your liking. Set aside. -Clean the pan and heat on medium heat. Lightly spray with oil and
place 4 tortillas on the pan (if your pan is small, you can do one at a time).
-Place 2 tbsp cheese on each tortilla, then 2 tbsp pico de gallo. -Top with burger, then remaining 2 tbsp pico de gallo and 2 tbsp
cheese on each. -Place the other tortilla on top; flip and cook until the
cheese melts on the other side. This will run you about 320 calories and 14 grams of fat for 1.
After dinner the girls got a chance to carve their 1st pumpkins. Hayden picked out a cute Hello Kitty, and Lily picked an owl. Neither came out perfect LOL.
The girls got to do a lot more hands on helping. They were pretty good about sawing down straight lines.
I think next year instead of letting everyone pick small pumpkins, we will got half and half with the large pumpkins. I think the designs the kids wanted would have worked better on bigger pumpkins.
