Did you know today is National Pie Day?

I made a chicken curry pot pie yesterday for dinner and had some leftovers for lunch today. It was a tad bit drier today than it was last night, but it was hot, sweet, savory and really hit the spot.

If you're interested in the recipe, it's on my blog:

Saturday: A Mexican Feast (Ti)

Today was my day off from the Game On Diet so I went a little crazy. We hit a local Mexican market but this market has a hot food counter so we ordered a bunch of different things. I ended up with a Shrimp Ceviche tostada and some soup. Ceviche is yummy. The shrimp is marinated in lime juice and jalapenos and a little onion. It's more of a summer food since it's cold but the sun came today so I figured, why not?

Also, I don't know why I call everything a 'feast' but I guess since I am so deprived of food that anything more than an apple and a wedge of tofu is considered a feast.

January 23rd, Melanie

I am the boring lunch girl eating my usual 3 pieces of turkey lunchmeat and nothing else.

Saturday, Applebees, Tina

Today I had lunch out with the librarians I work with at the public library. Since it is a small public library we work by ourselves and never really see each other much. This was a nice time for us to catch up. I am attempting to be a bit healthier in my food choices (really, I do fairly well at meals, it my snacking that is out of control), so for our meal at Applebees I ordered the Tilapia with rice pilaf and broccoli. I am still full and it is supper time, and I haven't even had a snack!

Saturday, pizza buffet, Lisa

Today we took the boys out for pizza buffet at a new restaurant. $8.50 for adults and $.50 a year for kids! The Bug ate for $.50!

I had two giant slices of pizza and a salad with everything good- egg, peas, cheese, bacon, blue cheese, little corn, chick peas, mmmmm.

It's called Beau Jo's, if you have one near you I recommend it!

Weekend lunches

I don't know why but somehow weekend lunches are harder for me than weekday lunches. This makes no sense as I'm a stay at home mom so have access to all the food equally everyday. But for some reason I graze my way through the pantry on weekends. Today I started with a can of lentil soup (it's cold outside and soup just seemed right). Then I pulled out a wedge of Wensleydale cheese with cranberries and ate the whole thing. Because I wasn't finished, I moved onto Quaker sour cream and onion mini rice cakes and finished up with Mexican blend cheese melted over plain rice cakes. ::sigh:: Not a fruit or vegetable in sight. I figure the sodium in the soup cancels out the health benefits of the lentils. Don't know why I feel compelled to do this on weekends, but there you have it. Maybe I should make Sunday lunch a cmpletely fruit and veg affair to try and counterbalance my poor choices today!

Friday and Saturday, Clover

Friday I felt so low that I couldn't bring myself to eat anything more than a bag of ready-salted crisps and a large gingerbread cookie with icing.

Today, we had a birthday party in the afternoon and I thought eating lunch early would be best for everyone. I made penne pasta and mixed in a tomato and onion sauce, tuna and some frozen sweetcorn. But I wasn't hungry and only had a few bites!
