Roasted Chicken Quesadillas and more!

It's been a rough week.  I had two cheat meals.  I suppose dieting since January has started to wear on me.   I am totally uninspired, and bored with what I've been eating.

But here I am, just a month before my brother's wedding.  Vacation is just around the corner.  I really need to cut down. 

This morning, I made poached eggs over steamed asparagus.  I love poached eggs with hot sauce.


For a snack this morning, I will probably have a Laughing Cow Light cheese wedge with some red peppers.  Just one wedge gives you all this cheese.  And it's really, really good.  Only 35 calories.   I also like this cheese on apples.


I wanted to share with you my experience with cooking a whole chicken in the crockpot.  Somehow, I've never tried it before.  It worked out well, actually.  Took maybe, six hours on high?  I added two cloves of garlic to about four cups of chicken broth, then tossed the chicken in after seasoning it with salt/pepper/paprika.



We made some chicken wraps with low-carb tortillas, red peppers, 2% mexican shredded cheese, and taco sauce.


This week, I'm really going to buckle down.  No bread.  Less than 4 oz of meat a day.  No more than one can of diet soda a day.  That there is going to be the hardest, for me.

Today, I wanted to share with you my refrigerator.


I wonder if this is basically what other people's fridges look like.  We just went grocery shopping yesterday, and  have to get through most of this food before Friday.  I'm just curious, because my husband complains about the mountains of dishes every day, but I cook.  Often.  Dishes are the direct result of him having so many cooked meals.

I think he's pretty lucky, myself.

What about you?  Is this what your fridge looks like?

  1. That is impressive! I look forward to seeing what you make with all that food!! Sadly I go on a daily basis these days. I need to get my act together and start planning weekly meals.
