As I mentioned earlier, I am spending this bloc of time eating healthy. Up until supper, I had taken in 530 calories and 38 grams of protein. Then I made this dinner, which is sitting half-eaten on the counter, but looks huge in the photo.

This is 2/3 of my plate filled with lettuce. I dressed the salad, green onions and Persian cucumber with red pepper flakes and fresh cracked black pepper. No other dressing--yet. I microwaved a sweet potato and cut into discs. I sauteed a boneless/skinless chicken thigh and as it cooked, drizzled 2T of ranch dressing over it & let it melt down. When it was nearly done, I added a pat of butter & a half-cup of concentrated chicken stock, then swirled it around to finish it. I removed the chicken and poured this chicken sauce over everything on the plate, including the salad. I guess this will be my supper tomorrow, too.

Looks fantastic Diane! Well worth the extra calories today. Not enabling but it looks very healthy and you deserve it. Tomorrow is a new day. :)

It's just a really strong object lesson about the power of condiments to ruin everything. If I didn't have two tablespoons of salad dressing and one tablespoon of butter, I would have stayed close to 900 calories. Life is all about choices and some of them seem very very tiny but make a huge difference. Happy New Year Brenda!

It does add up so quickly!

You too Diane, it's 11:38 here in NY, so I'm turning on the TV. :)
