I've been thinking for a while that I should get back to recording my food here on my weight-loss blog. I track it at myfooddiary.com, so it's all recorded there, but it might be interesting to some of you to see what in the world I eat everyday. So, Jenn, thanks for zoning in on my brain waves and giving me an extra kick, this addition is for you tonight:
Breakfast - 1 banana, 1 choc chip cookie (recipe below), and 4 oz. 2% milk
Total calories - 260
Lunch - creamy wheat/malt o meal/farina 1/4 cup cooked with 1 cup water & dash of salt, 1 cup frozen strawberries cooked with the wheat, 2 cups watermelon, 1/2 ice cream sandwich, 1 wedge Laughing Cow light creamy swiss cheese, 4 Triscuit Reduced Fat crackers, 20 oz. water
Total calories - 486
Dinner - 2 cups of my homemade chicken noodle soup (recipe below), 1 half-wheat dinner roll (recipe below), 1 tablespoon Smart Balance light, 1/4 cup frozen spinach, 3/4 cup frozen corn, 3/4 cup frozen peas and carrots, then all veggies cooked, 20 oz water
Total calories - 635
After Dinner - 24 oz. water
Chocolate Chip Cookies - Half Wheat No Yolks
2 sticks (1 cup) butter (yep, butter, not margarine)
3/4 cup white sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
3 egg whites
1 tsp. vanilla
1-1/4 cup whole wheat flour (I ground wheat on the finest setting, you don't even notice the wheat taste in the cookies)
1-1/4 cup white flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1 12oz. bag of semi-sweet mini chocolate chips (Kroger brand, at Smith's)
125 calories per 1 oz. cookie
Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup
15 cups water
15 teaspoons chicken base (I use the Better Than Bouillon Reduced Sodium brand from Costco)
13 oz. or 3 cups chopped cooked chicken breast (it's about 3 chicken breasts)
4 cups baby carrots sliced
4 cups chopped celery
1 16oz. bag of Country Pasta homemade style egg noodle pasta
Mix the chicken base together with the water, bring to a boil. Add the chicken and the carrots. Cook until the carrots are almost tender. Add the celery and dry noodles. Cook until the noodles are done to your taste. It's enough to feed an army, but that's what I've got, an army that loves this soup.
138 calories per 1 cup of soup
Half-Wheat Homemade Rolls
1-1/4 cup skim milk, warm it up in the microwave to lukewarm/warm but not hot
4 teaspoons yeast
3 tablespoons canola oil
2 cups whole wheat flour
2 cups white flour
1 tsp. salt
1/4 cup sugar
Dissolve the yeast in the milk. Add the canola oil, then the flour, salt and sugar. Turn on the bread machine, but only on the dough setting. I wound up having to add 2 tablespoons of water, because the dough was so thick. If you are making this by hand, use the "sponge method." That means that you only add 1/2 the flour, and let it rise first, or "sponge." Then, after it doubles in volume, mix in the rest of the flour. Let it rise again. Then form into balls & place in a baking pan, something between an 8x8 square pan, and a 9x13 pan. Let rolls rise until double. Bake at 350 for 13 to 15 minutes. Makes 16 rolls, on the thick side, instead of light and fluffy.
151 calories each roll.
