National Geographic Channel has a pretty cool series on about the Earth. Monday night Michael and I watched the “Water” Episode and it was really fascinating! I love watching nature shows. I used to be pretty addicted to the Discovery Channel. The show last night made me want to visit Cambodia and see the temples and culture. Shows like that make me want to do nothing but travel and explore….and Anthony Bourdain makes me want to eat. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

I really do think we eat a rotation of the same exact foods. Not that I’m complaining, because I love all the food we eat on a regular basis. In that spirit, guess what we had for dinner Monday night? For dinner we made burgers (yum). We only had one turkey burger left in the freezer so Michael had that one and I had the Trader Joe’s Masala Veggie Burger.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Calories for dinner:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Masala Burger: 120 calories<\/strong><\/p>\n

Havarti Cheese: 110 calories<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mustard: 5 calories<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dinner Salad with dressing: 250 calories<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dinner Totals: 585
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

I made up the Sandwich Thins: toasted in the toaster, mustard, lettuce. Michael put jalapenos on the burgers and topped them with Havarti cheese until it melted. So delicious!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>We were going to make fries in the oven but changed our minds. I had a few slices of yellow and orange peppers for something to crunch on. I made the salads:<\/p>\n

-Red Leaf Lettuce for me, Spinach for Michael<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

-Cauliflower<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

-Broccoli<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

-Chickpeas<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

-Shredded Cabbage<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

-Garlic Croutons<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

-Carrots<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

I love salad. I could eat it every single day and be happy!<\/p>\n

Dinner Salad<\/p><\/div>\n

Dinner was good. Having the frozen veggie burgers\/frozen turkey burgers on hand are a lifesaver for us. Many nights we stare at each other blankly in the kitchen trying to decide what to make!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>On Sunday night, Michael made a comment about how if we ate like we did on Sunday night every night neither of us would have to worry about our weight. Sunday night’s steak dinner was the perfect equation: protein, veggie and side dish (potato). Now, how do we recreate that perfect equation for dinner without eating steak every night? Neither of us really know how to cook chicken all the much–or what do with it to make it interesting. We are slowly trying to figure out how to cook pork chops (the first attempt was pretty bad). What are some other ideas? We already eat a lot of seafood.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
