Nicole gave me a genius idea this week, she found these cute little bowls @ target that were 6/$1.99! They provide the perfect serving size, about a cup of chili if filled to the brim. I made 2lbs of ground turkey chili tonight with low sodium chili mix to bring for lunch this week. I love being prepared, it helps me not get off track. Rick and I went to costco today and got lots of goodies, we got chicken breasts, ground turkey, flank steak, and pork loin to make some of Gen's famous pulled pork! They were doing samples today, not a good thing...I tried some apple straw crisps (sooo good) and for 38 of them it is 130 calories and 7 gms of fat. I had them for a snack tonight and was satisfied with about 10 of them! I also sampled a small portion of pulled beef on a piece of bread (bad idea) got stuck and had to run to the bathroom. I'm not sure why whenever I get stuck I have to spit up..why can't I just wait for it to work its way down?
On a non-band related note, household renovations SUCK! Is anyone willing to adopt/kidnap me for the next month or so?? Rick and his dad are re-doing our entire bathroom...We are getting an extra deep jacuzzi tub with a heater so the water doesn't get cold, a comfort height toilet, new tile on the floor and in the tub, a double sink vanity....like I said ENTIRE bathroom. Don't get me wrong I am sooo excited for everything, it is going to look amazing and make our re-sale value skyrocket but the anxiety of the mess might kill me. We took before pics today, and I will post them at some point. Anyone who watches HGTV, we are looking forward to submitting the pics to Rate my Space! Anyways enough about that, just wanted to put it out there I'm willing to run away if anyone wants me! :)
Looks good! I just made a batch of turkey chili tonight too. It's great for lunches.
