A recipe!

Tonight was another "Hungry Girl" meal night! Because my husband went out to eat, I decided 'Hey, that doesn't mean I have to give up on the meal I'd planned to cook'! So I just went on ahead and made a "Hola Breakfast Tostada"....and let me tell ya, it was WONDERFUL. The recipe bellow came straight out of the Hungry Girl "300 under 300" book :D

Ingredients:
1 medium/large high fiber tortilla(About 110 calories)
1/4 cup diced red and green bell peppers
2 tablespoons diced onion
1/2 cup fat free liquid egg substitute
1 tablespoon precooked real crumbled bacon
2 tablespoons shredded fat free cheddar cheese
Optional: Hot sauce, fat free sour cream, salsa

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375*
Place tortilla on a baking sheet sprayed with nonstick spray. Bake in the oven until slightly crispy, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and set aside. 
Bring a large skillet sprayed with nonstick spray to medium high heat on the stove. Add peppers and onion and, stirring occasionally, cook until slightly softened, about 3 minutes.
Add egg substitute and bacon to the skillet. If you like, add a few dashes of hot sauce. Scramble until egg substitute is fully cooked, about 3 minutes.
Top the baked tortilla with scrambled egg mixture and sprinkle with cheese. If you like, add optional toppings.

Very quick and easy with minimal clean up! I haven't added my total calories for this meal, so I can't really insert it here, and because I haven't replace my camera I can't provide a picture =(

Whoops!

So I already slipped up! My bad! I made dinner last night and then...didn't eat it. I actually...didn't have dinner at all, now that I think about it. And haven't had breakfast yet. Okay, I need to get food asap, that's my next goal. Anyway! Dinner for James (my husband), Nathan (husbands friend) and Joel (Also my husbands friend, who just returned from a canceled deployment) was:

Two pounds of chicken,
1 1/4 cup uncooked long grain white rice
1 cup water
2 cups salsa
2 cans campbells nacho cheese soup

All I did was throw everything together in the crock-pot, (Crock Pot SCCPBP600S 6-Quart Oval Programmable Slow Cooker Stainless) mix it together really well and let it go for about 8 hours. Supposedly, it turned out really well (they ate the mix in tortillas). And I'll take their word for it =)

So, someone may be thinking "Why are you starving yourself?" "That's self harm"...I'm not doing it on purpose, I swear! I just wasn't hungry at dinner time, and knew that bit of food wouldn't feed four people, so I let the guys, who'd worked all day, have the food. And I was busy talking to ma Mama on the phone anyway!! I do wish I'd gotten a picture of the noms though to post...=\ Oh well!
