Taco Night

Good evening!

What a great meal we had tonight. I used some of the steak that we had for Aaron's birthday, cut it up into strips and made tacos. I grilled the tortillas right on the burner on the stove to brown them a little, then spread some fat free spicy refried beans and lowfat cheese on top of that. Then I put about 5 pieces of meat on top with tomato, green onion, a little salsa, cilantro, an avacado piece and topped it with fat free sour cream. Delicioso.

Tomorrow is Aaron's actual birthday so I'm going to steam mussels for him and pour a white wine and lemon (diet) butter sauce over the bowl. He's going to love it!

We found these Medjool dates at Peapod.com. They are fantastic. For a taste of something sweet, slice one in half, remove the pit, replace it with an unsalted pecan half, close the date around the pecan and then spread a small amount of low sugar peanut butter on the top. Very Mediterannean and tasty natural sweetness all by themselves. They are also good with pistachio nuts.

Food For Thought:

Some random thoughts I've had today: I have to remind myself that progress is sometimes 2 steps forward and 1 step back. Growth is circular. If losing weight were so easy, everyone would be thin. What is it that we are trying to stuff down with food?
