We almost hit another woodland creature today. A deer, this time. I think it was female. It had no antlers, and I'm pretty sure their antlers are coming in. I've seen quite a few on the road in the morning on the way to work, and I see at least one about three times per week on my 5 a.m. run. They're starting to get pretty big.
My dinner wasn't what I expected tonight. I'm working on this brief that has to be done very soon, no extensions, so I skipped lunch today. I was starving by the time I got home, around 6:20 or so.
Lately, I've been finding one of the better dinner ideas to be a Chicken Alfredo Lean Cuisinne Skillet Sensations. It's decent to start with, but I sort of supplement it, anyway. I add a few miscellaneous vegetables like some zucchini, yellow squash, onions, and a sliced jalapeno. It adds some flavor and some bulk (I'm a big eater) but not a ton of calories. All told, it comes in at less than 700. Calories, that is.
So today, I had the vegetables cooking in the pan, ready for my industrialized, low-calorie treat. But I was out. It was quite unfortunate. Instead, I threw in a bunch more vegetables, green and red peppers, mostly, and kept it going. I also tore my refrigerator apart looking for some protein-ey goodness. I found some chicken thighs I had left over from Saturday's lunch with MackenzieMom.
I ate them like a rabid beast. There was nothing left but bone. That took the edge off, then I ate my mound of veggies, which was delicious. The two squash varieties really had a great, savory flavor. They were delicious.
Disaster averted, and at even fewer calories than planned!
Lean Cuisine is the best out of the frozen dinners, with the exception of Smart Ones Santa Fe Rice and Beans. Healthy Choice's vegetables suck.
